Baking Cookies

Today Mommy and I bought some cookie mix to make me some sugar cookies. I have a lot of food allergies, so it's always hard to find ways to make me cookies.

I helped Mommy mix all the ingredients together. I love help stir and I like to say, "cook" while we make things. After we mixed it together, we put the cookie dough on a baking sheet, then put it in the oven! I watched them to see when they would be ready.

When they were done, I put icing and sprinkles on them! I LOVED the icing and sprinkles! Unfortunately, that was about all I did like about the cookies. The cookies would have probably been much better with real eggs and real butter!

I go the my Allergist on Friday to be tested again for my allergies. Hopefully something looks better!!!!! I can't wait until I can eat real food!!!!

I am ready to bake some cookies!!

Stir the ingredients....and maybe eat some along the way!

Stir, stir, stir!
Watch them bake! Are they ready yet???


Mmmmm, this is my favorite part! FROSTING!

Add the sprinkles!

Yummmmmmm!

Here is my cookie!!!

16 Months Old!


Well today I'm 16 months old! That is a whole year and half old!!! I'm halfway to 2!! I can't believe it! I'm doing so many fun things right now. Mommy and Daddy are always laughing at the things I do! Here are some things I can do

I can say Mama, Dada, Papa, Nana, Oh No, Oh Man, Uh-oh, car, vacuum, Blueberry (boobooey), bathroom, snack (nack), up, down, noodles (noonoos), choo chooo (oooh ooh), and many more! I try to say just about everything that mommy and daddy say....so watch what you say Mommy and Daddy! I'm listening! Just yesterday, Daddy was watching football (shocking) and he said, "OH MAN!" I said it right after he did! He thought that was funny.

I still know all my signs and I can now sign "candy" too. I can run and I'm working on jumping, but right now I have trouble getting my feet to both leave the ground! I'm a really good listener (most of the time). When I am listening to music, I do what the words tell me to do. There is this one song I like called, "Fixin' my hair" and whenever it comes on, I run and get my brush...or if my broom is nearby, that works too! :)

Well I hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve and I hope 2011 is good to you!

Love Aidan

Christmas! Santa! Happy New Year!

For Christmas I went to my Nana and Geepadder's house in Crenshaw, Mississippi! They live in a log house and have a pond behind their house! I loved to look at the water (wahwah). One day Geepadder (who I now call "Papa"), turned off the water! I kept telling him to turn it back on....finally he did! Yay!

Before I went there, I did get a few presents from family that I was not going to see on my trip. Grandma sent me a gift card to Toys R Us! I'm sure I can learn how to swipe that at Toys R Us and get something awesome! Grandpa and Marilyn came over before I left and gave me this tool bench that I have been wanting. Now I can hammer away and learn how to fix things like Daddy! Thanks!

I got to see lots of family while I was there. My Aunt Dana and Uncle John were there and so were my cousins, McKenzie, Austin, and Micah. They are triplets, but I know who is who! I can already say their names too! I also got to see my mom's cousin Melisa and her kids Ali and Elizabeth. I also got to see my Aunt Lucy, Uncle Richard, Dawn, and Kierstynn. We had lots of fun!



My triplet cousins, McKenzie, Austin, and Micah! Santa brought them all Droid phones! I don't know what that is, but they sure were excited!


It took me a while to get used to sleeping at Nana and Papa's house. The first night there, I was sick and I was ready to be up for the day at 3:30 a.m.! Mommy and Daddy weren't too happy about that! Then one night I just wasn't tired...probably because Mommy let me have some sweet tea! That sure was yummy, but I heard Mommy say she will NEVER let me have sweet tea again!

The most exciting day was Christmas Day! Santa Claus came and he put toys under Nana's tree! I'm still not sure how he got into her house because Nana does not have a chimney! Maybe he came in through the dryer vent?? Anyway, he brought me a wooden train set, a remote controlled Thomas Train, a broom/dustpan, and some blocks! My cousins got me some toys too! I got a microphone, a ball tower, and this toy that says the alphabet. My Nana and Papa got me this drum I've been wanting and this toy that has letters on it (it is shaped like an apple!) I had a good time on Christmas Day! Now I can help my Mommy sweep at home, although Nana had some pretty neat sweeping tools herself! I liked to use her Swiffer!

This is Nana's tree with the toys Santa brought!

Here is me and my Thomas train!

I loved to play the drum! I'm so glad Nana got this for me! This was my favorite drum at music class and now I have one!



This is me and Nana!

Geez Mom and Dad! Enough with the pictures of me in this Santa suit!

The thing I didn't like about going to Nana and Papa's house was the drive! It took us a long time to get there and I let Mommy and Daddy know when I was done riding in the car! For the most part, Mommy and Daddy said I did a great job on the drive because it WAS long! I was definitely happy to be home in my bed and now I'm back to seeing Nana and Papa in MY, I mean Mommy's laptop!
