Hello Spring!! In 3 days, Aiden will officially be 14 months old. My little baby boy has grown into a full fledged toddler, with the energy to match! It's hard to believe that time has flown by so quickly.
Life for us has been busy as usual. Aiden changes every day and his little personality is certainly starting to show! He has developed a little naughtiness and I have to try really hard to keep a straight face when I'm explaining why he can't throw peas at Mommy or climb into Rocky's crate. But he is such a sweet boy who gives the best hugs and loves to cuddle. Aiden is at such a fun age; he's curious, adventurous, and playful but still loves to be held and kissed.
We're working on increasing his tolerance to solid foods. He is a bit of a picky eater, like his Daddy, but is usually willing to try things at least once. I have found that he loves peas (at least for now), Ritz crackers, Kix cereal, Gerber puffs, mashed potatoes, and chicken.
The weather has been so beautiful here in Maryland (unseasonably warm, which makes me wonder if the summer is going to be a sizzler!). Vic and I decided to take Aiden to Washington DC today to see the Cherry Blossoms in full bloom... and what a gorgeous day it was!
Here's a view of the monument from the Tidal Basin!
We took Aiden to lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Old Ebbitts Grill. Aiden is infatuated with water and was mesmerized by the fountain in the restaurant's atrium. It was hard to tear him away from it! Vic and I can't wait until our annual beach trip this summer, Aiden is going to be a water lover for sure!
First look at the Cherry Blossoms!

A walk with Mommy! Aiden's not able to walk independently quite yet, but he's super close!! When he finally does, I have a feeling Mommy and Daddy will have their hands full!
Don't you love that face!
My favorite picture of the day.
So sweet... he gets away with everything.
Other than wathcing the fountains at the restaurant and the ones we past along our way, Aiden's favorite part of the day was playing with all the fallen Cherry Blossom petals. I set a big pile of them in front of him and he loved scattering them into the wind.
Family picture!

It was such a gorgeous day, so we just walked and walked and walked. I think our little man had a good time. =)
