Over the past year we have watched Aiden grow and start to become his own little person. Somewhere along the line crawling turned into walking and walking turned into running. Sitting turned into standing and standing turned into climbing. Nursing turned into grazing and grazing turned into (major) eating. Cries turned into coos and coos turned into screams. But no matter how big our little man gets, I will always see my little newborn snuggled up in papa's arms when I look at him.
Aiden was born the day before Thanksgiving last year, I will always remember eating Thanksgiving dinner at the hospital with my mom and sister. Having so much to be thankful for, the three of us shared what will undoubtedly be my favorite Thanksgiving meal ever.
This year Aiden's birthday fell on Thanksgiving which made him our Thanksbirthday Boy! He got his very own cupcake and was quite bewildered when we all started singing to him. Equally bewildering was the flame burning atop his "1" candle. After we sang the birthday song twice (we missed video taping it the first time and the second time around the recording came out blurry = FAIL) and blew out the candle, his fascination with the candle didn't end. He was more into trying to eat it than the cupcake. When he got around to trying the cream cheese frosting he was not sure about it...
After a few pensive moments, he decided frosting was delicious!! He had a grand old time dipping the candle in the frosting and licking it off.
After the frosting was all gone (he wanted nothing to do with the actual cupcake), it was time for presents. Great Grandma Berggren delivered the big thrill of the day in the form of a bright, red fire engine! Aiden was content to play with the wheels and bell but when Papa showed him how to ride it, he was the happiest kid on Earth!
The big day seemed to end as quickly as the past year has gone by and before I knew it, I was tucking my one year old son into bed. Happy First Birthday Adien! We love you so very much!
