Big Brother

Dear Aidan,

It has been way to long since I have written in your Blog. So much has gone on since I last wrote. You are 2 and a half! You are so smart, you talk in complete sentences now. It is amazing. You are really into Choo Choo trains right now. Its almost Christmas and you are so excited for Santa to come. You asked Santa for a Handy Manny Motorcycle, Rocket and a guitar among other things.

I am so proud of you Aidan, you continue to amaze me on a daily basis. You melted my heart yesterday, you came up to me and told me I was your best friend. You are my best friend little guy.

We are expecting your brother April 4th of next year. I know you will be such an amazing big brother. We are pretty scared right now though because we found out he has a serious heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. He will need 3 open heart surgeries including one at birth. I am sad also because I will have to be gone for 2 months when I have him and i have never left you more than a night at grandma's so its going to be so hard.

I love you so much and I will do whatever it takes to make you and Jacob well.

Love you,
Mommy

Switching to Lactose Free

Dear Aidan,

We decided to switch you to Lactose free milk today and I already notice a change. Lately if you have milk you cry starting about 2 hours after and you cry for at least 30 minutes or longer. You say belly owie. It breaks my heart. It happened at daycare today. They said you cried for hours and kept asking for me. It killed me to not be there but I couldn't leave work so I had Grandma come get you.

You had a bowl of cereal with the lactose free tonight.... and no crying! Yay!

Unfortunately I think you inherited the stomach problems from me. Milk makes my stomach hurt as well. Grandma said I used to always say my belly hurt. Hopefully this helps you.

Mommy loves you!

Future Photographer

Dear Aidan,

I was transfering photos off of our digital camera and found the photo's below. You must have grabbed the camera and started taking pictures. I guess you have yet another talent.

Love,
Mom

Dear Aidan,

I decided to start this blog for you so that one day you can go back and revisit your childhood.

I hope you enjoy reading these memories as much as I enjoyed living them. You are my everything. I love you.
