Big Boy Week

It is becoming quickly apparent that Aaden is a few short months away from 3 years old. His vocabulary has expanded ten fold, he counts, knows the alphabet, sings about 8 different songs all the way through and can pick out some words in his favorite books. As his Mama, I can hardly believe how time has flown and how in a few short weeks he will be a big brother!

Continuing with the big boy theme, my folks got Aaden a new trike and helmet this past weekend. We've been wanting to get him a bike for some time but haven't. Saturday was perfect weather and we had nothing on the agenda. After picking out his very own trike and helmet we headed home and patiently waited for Papa to assemble it all. He was so excited!

 Waiting patiently for his trike to be put together...

 ...still waiting...

 Wow, is this it!? It even has a Lighting McQueen bell to match the helmet!

 Yeehaw!

Sometimes it is nice to just sit and enjoy the bike too!

Another big adventure was converting his crib into a toddler bed. While we intend on getting him his own bed soon (so his brother can have the crib), we wanted to make the transition before brother came. He was so excited and partook in the whole disassembling and reassembling of his bed. Since then he has LOVED being able to get in and out of his bed on his own. He's very responsible and waits patiently for his parents to come get him up. He's continued to take naps and sleep great, we're so proud of him!

A bonus? Having Daddy be able to read to me while I'm in bed!
