Yes, Aiden turned 2 years old today. Been a crazy 24 months. Enjoy the photos, most of which are from the last month and from his birthday party this past Saturday.
Happy Mom’s Day everyone. Enjoy a long-overdue gallery of Aiden and company:
Aiden’s favorite toy of the day and a great gift from friends here in Seattle: an S9 Automoblox mini. I (Tim) am a big fan of the Automoblox, too. Pretty cool. No snow here in the rainy Northwest, but we were dreaming of it all day. Merry Christmas from the Chillers!
So as a mom, I’m all about freebies and shortcuts…so of course I’ve used online companies such as Shutterfly and Tiny Prints for party invites and photo printing. For Aiden’s first birthday party, we did 2 things: created a collage of photos printed from Shutterfly to recap his first year and the people who’ve supported us and sent out a really cute photo card birthday announcement (that automatically went on fridges everywhere because it was just so darn cute!).
These days, you can get almost any photo product….party invites, birth announcements, photo calendars, even address labels! All making life a bit easier and more manageable.
Even though it’s already mid-December, I’m still planning on ordering some Christmas photo cards shortly. For those of you wanting to send out a holiday photo card, but hoping to save a little dough, Shutterfly is giving 50 free holiday cards away to anyone who blogs about their awesome site. I admit, as someone who loves design, I’m more excited about picking out the card than picking out the picture or sending out the cards. Of course, why stop there? Maybe I’ll try my hand at creating some photo books and photo calendar options….maybe for next Christmas, yeah? Hope you’re all doing well! Photos to come soon, I promise!
Wondering what Aiden dressed up as for Halloween? Yep, a beach bum! We were thinking a pirate, but getting Aiden to keep the eye patch on was a bit difficult. Maybe next year.
Oh, and the only thing missing from the picture? Aiden’s green Crocs. He was wearing them outside. Awesome!
Daddy’s headed to St. Louis this week for his cousin’s wedding and guess who’s going along for the ride? Yep, me… !!! Please pray for dadda, as he’s a bit nervous about flying on his own with me. I’m a bit clingy to mom right now and get whiny when she’s not around 
Here’s to some daddy/son time 
Young, back with another post. This summer has F L O W N by! Going on vacation to Oregon (visiting Eugene and Crater Lake) and hosting family (both Tim and my family!) as Aiden celebrated his first birthday.
Aiden is now 13 months old and on his way to walking consistently on his own. Just in time, as he’ll be the ring bearer at Tim’s cousin’s wedding this October.
We can’t believe it, but Aiden turned 1 today. Crazy!!! Truly, it’s been a great year: Aiden has hit every major milestone on time and seems to be a bit ahead on the walking thing: He took his first few steps two weeks ago. Personally, I (Tim) had a few sentimental moments today when wishing Aiden a “Happy Birthday”. It has been quite the ride this past year We love him so, so much. Enjoy each of Aiden’s month pics.
You didn’t think we took that few pictures, did you? Indeed, a big highlight of the trip for me (Tim) was the food. My favorite new Korean dish, bibim naengmyeon, was a wonderful mix of sweet, spicy and yummy goodness. And while getting out with Aiden was challenging, we did make it around to a few sites in Seoul. The river walk featured in a few pictures was especially nice, even with the curious school kids running circles around us. Hopefully we’ll make it down to Jeju-do and Busan next time (two places I wish we had made it to, but didn’t).
Hello! We’ve been MIA for a while, getting ready and then traveling to Korea for 2 weeks. We got back a week ago and are posting some pics of our time there. It was a great trip in many ways, hard in others. Highlights for us included meeting/seeing family and getting to introduce Aiden and Tim to them as well as seeing some of the sights in Seoul. The hard part was that Aiden had a hard time adjusting to a new sleep location and had to sleep in the bed with Young most nights. We’re glad we went, but we’ll be glad to travel with Aiden when he’s a bit older - when he doesn’t need two naps a day, and can feed himself!
Enjoy the pics!
