Fun in the Sun









































































Not too long ago we had a fun day at the beach followed by some time at the playground. It's been pretty nice here--lots of warm, sunny days. We're loving the nice weather and hoping that it's here to stay.
Aidan is nearing 1-year-old! In just a few short weeks, our little baby will be a toddler. It's hard to believe. He's getting a bit closer to walking recently--he's trusting his legs a little more everyday.
I'll post more pictures soon of our move, new place, and the world around us here in Redmond. We've also got a couple of really cute videos of Aidan too. Hope you're all well.
And for those who've asked, here is Aidan's birthday wishlist.

Music Together







We are about to start another music class next week. These pictures are from the last class we took. As you can see, Aidan takes his music-making very seriously. He's pictured above with egg shakers. He is actually pretty good at staying with the beat--it's fun to watch. According to our teacher, we may have a little musical genius on our hands. No pressure, though, Aidan! :)
Each class runs for 10 weeks and the kids get to experiment with all kinds of instruments, movement/dance, and singing. Each new class focuses on one particular sound (our last class empahsized bells and the next class is all about triangles). So far, it's been a fun way for us to get out of the house and for Aidan to be around a regular group of kids. He loves watching the older kids run around and play their instruments.

Feeding Ruby

Aidan has figured out that he can just give Ruby his food now instead of having to eat it himself. Ruby looks forward to his mealtimes and just sits underneath his highchair waiting for food scraps to fall--or, as you'll see here--for Aidain to purposefully give her his dinner. Sorry the picture is sideways, I can't figure out how to rotate it. More pictures to come!
