Monday, Monday...

Dear Aidan,

Sorry for the lack of posts the last couple of days. It was a busy weekend.
On Friday night we met with our old small group at Hanna's Restaurant near our house. Then everyone came over to our place and we did Kris Kringle and played Cranium and Taboo. It was so fun! BTW, you got an adorable hooded towel from our small group. However, you seemed more enthralled at Kerem's gift which was a wrench of some sort. Every time he turned the socket you laughed aloud. Everyone thought it was so cute.
It's funny that you are getting so many gifts this year. I had no need to buy you clothes because we keep getting it from everybody. You got a huge package in the mail from Auntie Jane filled with clothes and another hooded towel. Thanks Jane!

On Saturday/Sunday we were finishing off some last minute Christmas shopping. The photo above is of you and daddy posing in front of the humungous Christmas tree at Yorkdale Mall. There was a huge lineup to take photos with Santa, but we were happy with our own personal photo.

The boy with many names

Dear Aidan,

So you have acquired many nicknames since you were born in July. Here are some to name a few:

Adie-poo
Adie
Sunshine boy (mommy calls you this a lot)
The terror (mommy and daddy call you this when you are in a foul mood)
Hae Sung (your Korean name)
Do Ryun Nim (grandma from daddy's side calls you this. It basically means
Aids (short for Aidan, but maybe I shouldn't call you this anymore since it means something else...)
Baby A
The gift that never stops giving (Mommy calls you this after you get a bath and are wrapped up in your hooded towel)

5 things

Dear Aidan,

Here are 5 things that happened today:

   Your grandpa and grandma (on mommy's side) moved to their new house today.

Daddy took a day off from work to help grandma and grandpa move. You and I went around 3pm to their new house to check it out. It's so nice!

Daddy fell down the stairs at grandma and grandpa's house 6 times! The first time he fell, you and I were right behind him. I think you got upset that he fell because you started crying. Don't worry, daddy was ok.

Mommy and daddy bought you a new moisturizer cream for your eczema. It's called Mustela Stelaprotect. It's a milder moisturizer than the one we bought you earlier. I think the other one stung you a bit.

A woman at the baby store where we bought your cream commented that you were a beautiful baby.

See what's underneath the Christmas tree

Dear Aidan,

The best Christmas present mommy could ever get (except for the eczema!).

First snow storm

Dear Aidan,

So early this morning- at around 1:20am, we had our first snow storm of the year. When you woke up this morning I opened up the window and showed you what it looked like outside. You seemed very enthralled. This is just the beginning little man...

More Christmas flats

Dear Aidan,

I finished all the Christmas flats that I was working on today. I had a lot of fun making these and hope the recipients will like it just as much as I do.











Just as I am writing this I am hearing the salt truck passing through our street spraying salt on the ground. We are supposed to be getting a snow storm tonight of about 2-5 cm of snow. Daddy is very worried as he hates driving in bad weather conditions. I guess it's you and me indoors yet again tomorrow...

What's happening today

Dear Aidan,

From now on I'm going to be posting 5 things that happened each day. Here's today's 5 things:

   You pooed twice.

You started biting mommy's nipple when I am feeding you. It hurts! I hope you stop doing it. Because it's going to REALLY hurt when your teeth starts coming out.

Your back got a bit better. It's not as red. It was really bad yesterday.

Today was the first snowfall. Too bad we both didn't see it because we were indoors...

Auntie Sara came over today to see you. She also brought mommy's favourite tea- London Fog.
