Show him how it's done

Such a good big brother! I love how he cheers for him in the end.

Little gigglebox!

This one just loves to giggle. Scott had him going really good that night.

Motorized Walker

Funny...this walker didn't have a motor when Aiden was using it two years ago! I hope Seth gets a chance to learn to walk on his own!

A visit from "people"

We were so happy to have some family come and visit. Aunt Ruth, Shaelyn, and Travis flew to North Carolina so that Shaelyn could decide to be a Tarheel! Looks like there might be a Watson in North Carolina even after we leave!
Before they got here, Scott told Aiden we had people coming to visit. For their entire visit, Aiden referred to Ruth, Shaelyn, and Travis as "People". After they left, we were saying his nighttime prayer, and when it came time to ask God to bless family and friends, Aiden eagerly added "People!" to his list!





Shaelyn & Seth

Travis, somewhat reluctantly, reading to Aiden. (He refused to sing!)

Shaelyn was slightly more willing to sing the Wheels on the Bus, but we all had to join in.

Everybody had a good time with Aiden's Play-doh.

Even teenagers have fun with it!


Seth is starting to get pretty coordinated with his hands. Whether it was intentional or not, he reached his hands up to his bottle one day and just held on to it!

Aiden loves to help Seth with his "pushups"!

TUMBLE!

Play-doh Superhero!

Aiden is amazingly good, or lucky, when he's stacking blocks. He always manages to make blocks stay stacked that would otherwise fall down if Scott or I were to try to do the same!

He was very proud of his tallest tower ever...so proud he went from an architect to demolition engineer in about 5 seconds!

How Texans Go Sledding

We had our biggest snow fall yet. As you will see, displaced Texans sometimes must improvise to be able to play in the snow.

Do the Ice Shuffle

He decided he could shuffle all the way down the icy sidewalk.

Good Grief, More Snow!

Aiden always wants to pick up Seth.

Yea me!

Playing with his choo-choo train, (we LOVE magnets!)

Aiden loves to show Seth how to push up. He'll get down there with Seth and say "push-up" and then wants me and Scott to push-up with them. I guess it's a good way for us to stay in shape!

This was too cute, but while getting the picture, Aiden pushed down a little to hard with his head and made Seth cry. We're still working on the "be gentle" part of playing with Seth.

How do they sleep like that?

This picture may not look like much, but it was Aiden's first attempt at photography!

This is our Sesame Street face. I could do cartwheels in front of him and he probably wouldn't notice if one of his shows is on!

Thanks for the stickers Nonna! Yesterday he said "monkey stickers" after not having played with them since Valentines. He has a really good memory.

Sweet little hug!

He just looked so laid back reclining on the couch!

Aiden has discovered his pockets and loves to just walk around with his hands in them. He's also learning that he can put small toys in them, so I guess I'll have to start checking them before laundry!

Here's our 4 inches of snow! Of course Bear loves it, but I had to let him inside this morning anyway because I saw him trying to drink from his frozen water bowl. He'll miss the cold weather when we move but I won't!

Other cute pics

I caught Seth laughing in his sleep!

Aiden is getting really good at playing pretend. This is his camera.

And this is his mega camera that he made using Momma and Daddy's cameras.

Oh, look, now it's a phone!


We are so glad Seth is so good natured. Aiden really likes to hold Seth, but he needs a lot of help, whether he wants it or not. I was holding Seth's head up and I heard "Momma...hand...move!"

Seth Read!

Aiden decided he really wanted Seth to read one of his books. I guess Seth didn't mind.




Snow Day

It started snowing, and thankfully Scott was home, so Seth and I stayed
in the warm inside and videotaped through the window.




They made quite a few snowballs

And then Scott showed Aiden how to catch snowflakes on his tongue

And here is the start of the first snowman

Aiden really enjoyed his snowman, so much that his head finally fell off

So the final product was a single segmented "snow monster"

Our Big Helper

Aiden started bringing his blocks over to Seth...

and when he realized that Seth wasn't playing with them...

Aiden took his hand and tried to show him!

Next he wanted to help feed...

which wasn't too hard since he's always trying to put Seth's pacifier in Seth's mouth...

and then of course he has to be burped!

Happy...

Happier...

Happiest...

Oooo, too many flashes!

It's a camera...

It's a phone...

Oh yeah, it's also a calculator!

I just don't know what to say about this one!

What a good sleeper...even with Aiden playing right next to him

A little Momma time
