Howdy Cowboy!

I walked past the bedroom door and heard a faint snoring noise. I then realized that it would be very unlikely for the noise to be so close considering that your bed is across the room from the door. I peeked underneath the door and there were little baby paws! I was able to just barely get my camera through the door to snap one of the most adorable pictures of you I have ever taken.

Uncle Matthew

I know he's not your blood uncle, but we're going to be one of those odd families who consider close friends to be family. And since Aunt Sarah helped deliver you, she's about as close to family as you could be so lucky to get. I wish I would have thought to record you saying 'motorcycle'... too cute.

Mommy's Toughest Critic

Mommy has been working diligently to master the art of homemade pizza dough. And what better night to pull out all of the stops than the night when I pull in the driveway to a Mr. Aiden Gray demanding pizza for dinner!? After I hand tossed, that's right, tossed the pizza dough and situated it on the pan, you were so generous as to help me decorate it! You did such a good job. I love the second to the last photo when you are obviously critqueing your favorite food. I think the last picture speaks for itself. 4 Stars you say?!

Spring Festival 2009

I'm so glad that Daddy decided to bring to the Festival today so that I could spend some time with you during my busy day! The best part was not the barbque that you are enjoying, but the moment in time that fell into place so perfectly. I was walking away and you decided to follow me blindly. You were looking at the ground and I noticed that you were pretty much just following my shadow. I started making circles around people and weaving in and out of the booth. You started laughing and I said, "Just like a duck! You're my little baby duck!" And then I put my hands under my arms and started flapping and quacking and so did you! It was adorable. I would give so much to be able to have that moment recording so that I could watch it again and again. Priceless moments!
