More "Firsts" For Aiden

Aiden has had many more new first experiences in the last 2 weeks. Starting with his first swimming lesson last week, check out the pictures--he's a fish, it runs in the family--pretty much everyone on my side of the family are swimmers. This weekend Aiden had 2 "firsts" back to back...first he had his first night away from mommy and daddy, and then his first birthday party.
Nathen and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary about a month late on Saturday, and Aiden had some special time with Nana and Granddad. Aiden did very well and Nana and Granddad enjoyed having him overnight...Granddad mentioned several times what a "dandy" Aiden is:) I think it was really special for Granddad since he doesn't get to spend as much time with Aiden as Nana does. Nathen and I missed our little guy, but enjoyed spending time with each other, and I surprised myself by only calling 2 times to check on Aiden.
On Sunday we ventured to KC to help celebrate our friend's Nicky's first birthday. Aiden was the youngest one there, but held his own pretty well, talking and playing with the toddlers that were at the party. Poor guy though he was the only one that could not have any cake:(

Aiden stretches for his beach ball at swim lessons. The teacher said that given his young age that he would probably just splash and not be able to reach too much let alone kick his legs--well like I said he's a fish and he was moving his legs and arms. He even tried to copy me blowing bubbles, but swallowed the water instead:( fortunately this did not scare him at all.

Aiden tries swimming on his back and does not like it as much as being on his tummy, but still made me smile.

Aiden wishes Nicky a "Happy Birthday" while they touch each other's faces.

Aiden soaks up some Granddad time Saturday. He seems to realy be hanging on every word that Granddad is saying:)
