Month 11

Hey Everyone!

My Big boy just celebrated his FIRST BIRTHDAY! I'll be posting month 11 recap as well as birthday party/birthday recap this week!

This month we got to celebrate our first Thanksgiving as a family of 3 (really we are a family of 6 now). Alden got his fill of turkey, ham, mashed tators, pumpkin pie and everything in between! It was overall a GREAT day. Alden got lots of love from his cousins, but that's no surprise considering how adorable he is!

We did a little bit of black Friday shopping and were able to take care of birthday and Christmas gifts for Alden, but we didn't really do anything other than that since it was such a rainy and gloomy Thanksgiving weekend.

Alden has been super high energy lately so it seems like he is constantly on the go from sun up to sun down. He's so much fun though. As exhausting as he is, it's OK because he is cute and fun.

The night before Alden's big party, we took him to get his hair cut! It was actually a great experience. Alden's aunt Rexie tagged along and she was able to take pictures which allowed Chris and myself to be in the moment, viewing it in real time, not through a phone. He was a little confused at first and slightly fussy, but once daddy put Mickey Mouse on for him, it was pretty much smooth sailing. He looks SO cute with his shorter hair, and a little older too. Not to mention there is no more rats nests on the back of his head!

That's really about it for this month's recap which means is picture time now!

 Alden is ready for the game.

 And I thought it would be easy to wrap gifts with a baby in the house.

He was a little fussy and confused about what was happening.

 

After the haircut! What a handsome little gentleman.

 

Well that's it!

As always... Thank you for reading!
