Well, it has been 7 months since I last posted. So sorry about that! Life has been busy to say the least.
Our amazing son was born March 10, 2011, 9 days late! I was induced on March 9 and ended up having to have a c-section at 6:24 AM on March 10. We were SO happy he finally made his appearance! My Mom and Dad were both there at the hospital throughout the entire process and I am so thankful they were able to be there. Justin and my Mom both stayed in the room with me while my Dad waited patiently in the waiting room. :)
A few days after Aiden was born, Justin flew to Kentucky and to Virginia for 2 job interviews. Amazingly he was offered 2 jobs: one at Amazon.com in Lexington, Kentucky and one at Scott's Miracle Gro in Carrollton, Kentucky. We were SO amazed and thankful for God's faithfulness! He provided a job for us when He knew Justin was leaving Active Duty Army in April. God is so good! Justin decided to go with Scott's Miracle Gro, so we were thrilled that we would be moving home to Indiana finally! His job would be in Kentucky, but only 30 minutes from Madison, Indiana where we would buy our very first home! Again, another huge blessing God bestowed on us - a house! We lived in Scottsburg with my parents for about a month while we worked on closing on the house in Madison. Everything just fell right into place. I had even found this house on the Internet while we were still living in Texas. After I took one step into it when I got to Indiana, I just knew this house was the one for us! We moved into the house in early June.
I am just enjoying staying home with our sweet baby boy Aiden. I can't believe he is now 7 months old! He has just mastered sitting up all by himself. We can even leave the room and he is fine....he doesn't fall over. :) He hasn't really cared for baby food much yet. We are trying to get him to eat it, but he isn't totally excited about it yet. However, he will eat baby food sweet potatoes, squash, and pears. He totally "blabbers" up a storm now, too. No real words yet, but lots of "Bababababa." And he doesn't meet a stranger. He smiles at EVERYONE. He is truly a people person. His smile and dimples just melt our hearts for sure. We are so thankful God blessed us with a wonderful son!
We have been LOVING the Fall season here in Indiana. Aiden has been to the pumpkin patch 3 times (once with his Mamaw and Papaw, once with his cousins on my side of the family, and once with his cousins on Justin's side of the family). He has been to the apple orchard with his Grandma and Pop-Pop as well. It is so fun seeing him experience new things. He loves "eating" the crisp leaves that are now on the ground outside. ;) We can't wait till Christmas to share that with him this year!
He has sure traveled a lot to only be 7 months old. Aiden has been to Texas (where he was born!), Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, and several other states when we drove from Texas to Indiana when we were moving. :) He has flown in an airplane twice already!
I hope everyone else is enjoying the wonderful Fall season. God has sure blessed us and we are so thankful!
Fall 2012
