20 months

Aiden at 20 months

For some reason I have had a hard time getting his monthly posts up on time- probably because it is more time consuming than my pregnancy posts. :(
Things about Aiden:
  • Diaper size: Yep still size 5.
  • Shoe size: So the size of his foot would fit into a 4 but his feet are so wide and fat that very few shoes do fit him. Right now he is wearing a size 7 boot which is way way too big for him but he really likes them plus he can wear them for a VERY long time. :) I will say, lets get your shoes on and he will say shoes?! get shoes?! shoes?!
  • Clothes: 2T pants, some 2T & 3T jammies he is right in the middle where 2T are getting smaller and 3T are big.
  • Number of teeth: 16 but I may have seen another set of molars coming in while I was brushing his teeth.
  • Favorite food ( or should I say food he will eat): Pizza, Oatmeal, chocolate & strawberry milk, cereal, oreos, peanut butter & jelly sandwich, corn dogs & plain hot dogs, some times corn & peas, yogurt. Things he will eat by himself- Oatmeal & yogurt. The little stinker has been going through this stage where he want me to feed him...
  • Favorite shows/movies: Despicable me & Curious George.
  • Favorite things to do: Watch Curious George, play with random kitchen spoons, he loves playing with daddy, going out side- it is super cold so we don't do that at all lately.
  • Just the other day he has decided to talk a lot more. When he is in the mood he will try to copy any word you ask him. He is really good at saying: Bye, NO!, Go!, please, more, milk, yyyyyes, mama, daddy, ball, bath. 
  • Since getting him his new bear he only sleeps with bear only. This bear surprisingly manages to stay in his crib for the most part all night & for naps where was his other animals he throughs out eventually. He still listens to primary music to fall asleep for naps & bed time. We have been using a humidifier for his cough & he sleeps with his night light.
  • We are working on getting him to say the names of animals... it is clear he knows his animals but getting him to talk is all about his mood. He is really good at matching things like his puzzles.
  • He is very tender hearted and gets his feelings hurt really easily. If we take something away, he gets into trouble, or we tell him no he cries or throughs a temper tantrum which is him laying on the floor or running away from us with or without screaming.
  • He loves to tease his daddy. He likes to sit in Jerels computer chair and will take Jerel by the finger from our room to another room and then quickly run back to the chair before Jerel can sit in it. He thinks this is funny.
  • He loves his baths but last Sunday he got to shower with Jerel. When he realized I was getting him ready to get in the show he was giggling and clapping his hands. He loved it.



 We found this elephant while doing Black Friday shopping. He loves his animals.


 Aiden got attached to this random bear we had around our house. He loves to give it kisses so now it stinks. I was hoping to be able to swap it out for a new one.
 He loves his new bear.
 Aiden loves to look out his window. He uses his bike to stand on.... He loves to watch the snow. One cute thing he has been doing lately, when Jerel leaves for school, Aiden will tell daddy good bye and then run to his room to watch  his daddy walk until he can't see him any more. He will also watch Jerel bring groceries in running back and forth between from his room and the front door to greet daddy and then to watch him go back out to the car.
 Playing on g&g Nielsen's new swing set. Even though it is super cold out side he still wanted to go play.
 Aiden decided to climb onto grandma Achatz's table to touch the lights with his stick..... little trouble maker....
This is how he decided to sit in his high chair.
 For some reason he likes to play under my table.
 Enjoying his first Wendy's frosty.
I love when he falls asleep in the car and then stays asleep while Jerel carries him in. When he is awake Jerel will carry him up the stairs- he has gotten too big for me while pregnant to carry up the stairs- Aiden loves to have me chase him and daddy. He squeals and laughs when I am behind them even when I'm not aware that he thinks I am gonna get him.
 Helping mommy decorate the Christmas Tree.

 Aiden & Daddy putting the star on the top.

This is by the way, the only decorating Jerel took part in.



 Aiden's 2nd Christmas
Not sure how long this tree will stay up. Aiden isn't very nice to it.
Aiden got to see Santa at the Logan Mall. He took him to see him and he took off in the opposite direction. So later while we were in a store I asked him if he wanted to go see Santa. He took my hand and off we went to see him. He was so excited he could hardly wait in line and for the other kids to have their turn. When it was his turn he walked right up to him. Santa told him he was a very brave  little boy. He would have sat there for hours had we let him.

 Aiden found dad's dish washing gloves and decided he wanted to wear them.
 Watching Winnie The Pooh.
He is really good at matching things and is knows his animals really well.

 So tired he fell asleep on the couch next to me. November was full of lots of sick days for this little guy. He went 5 sundays in a row I had to keep him from nursery. He goes 1 or 2 weeks and then gets sick.
 I love these random pic of these two!
 Our cute little family of 3 soon to be 4.
 Sometimes this is the only way we can get him to sit down and eat.
Mean grandpa Nielsen playing ticks on Aiden.
 Happy boy in church. He gets really warm and his cheeks get dry in the winter weather so they go rosy. 
This was right after leaving grandma & grandpa Page's Thanksgiving. He was so tired he fell asleep mid-cry.
I was I asked to play my cello at a ward christmas party & took my cello home. Some one thinks its a jungle gym.


Aiden didn't want Jerel to go take a shower and was doing everything he could think of to keep him from leaving. He even put his bike in the way to stop him.
I am in love with this little boys smile.
Helping papa Al make carmel popcorn. He loved sitting on the table where he could see.
Watching Despicable me on the iPad or should I say AIDEN is watching despicable me.
Playing in the close basket.
Jerel has 2 Finals left and this is what this little boy will get. Lots and Lots of time with daddy.
 Its a little blurry but still cute.
"Ball?!"- Aiden

29 weeks


How far along? 29 weeks 
Current weight/ Total Weight gain: 143-145 on our scale, 145lbs- Dr scale & fully dressed. Yes I know big whoop....
Maternity clothes? Pants & shirts but mostly Jerel's shirts.
Stretch marksWho really knows! 
Sleep: Not too bad.
Best moment this week: Dr. appt hearing baby Jade's heart. my belly is measuring at 29 cm which is good. I was actually measuring at 27 with Aiden at 29 weeks so looks like I am bigger that way but I think that my bump is smaller? I feel smaller. I was also 150 lbs with Aiden so.... my belly is bigger but I weigh less. How does that work?
Miss Anything? Some days I am ready to not be pregnant and others I'm fine. I am trying to enjoy the baby kicks and movements while I still can.
Movement: She is all over the place. Dr. Firth says her head is down & her feet and hands where in perfect position to cause pain in my ribs. She stretches out a ton so I feel her on several different spots all at once. She has also been getting the hiccups at least once a day.
Food cravings or things you can eat: Granola bars, raspberry jam on toast, yogurt, chocolate almond kisses.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Random hot foods.
Symptoms: Ligament pain- I slipped on the ice and did the splits which hurt! Back pain, heart burn which I got a proscription for so hopefully that takes care of that.
Have you started to show yet: Yep!
Belly Button In/Out? Out. Poor belly button.
Bloated: After eating too much.
Labor: Nope 
Wedding Ring on/off: On
