Okay, I've finally got pictures from the party posted (not all of them, I didn't want to crash any computers!) Some are a little bit out of order because when you are getting picture from 4 people it's hard to keep them all straight.

My Handy Helpers, who did all the leg work for me since I was getting Capt Aiden ready for the party. And did ALOT painting the week of the party!

G-momma and Aunt Dana

Some more of the kids. When they were diagnoised, we were all told the stats yet here are 3 kids thriving beyond the age of two! We know how lucky we are and alot of thanks goes to their wonderful pulmnologist, Dr. Makris. To borrow a line from another mom, our kids are now making history!

The Baloon release

Bye-bye, Princess Chloe! Aiden was inside sleeping so he didn't get to say bye-bye :O(

Aiden's christmas! (as narrated by Aiden!)

noreply@blogger.com (Aiden's mommy) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:31:00 +0000

Hi everyone, it's me Aiden! I'm gonna tell you all about my Christmas! Something has been going on for weeks. My mommy brought a tree into livingroom whoever heard of a tree in the livingroom? Then she starts putting all these boxes under it..hmmm...Then her and Daddy keep having conversations where they spell everything. Did no one tell them that I am only 23 months old and cannot spell?

So Christmas Eve (as mommy keeps calling it) I got dress in a 'special shirt' and family came over. It was my Papa Dav, MeMe Cindy, Aunt NayNay, Steve, Mike and My great grandmother Carolyn. I got alot of present but Mommy forgot to make more pictures. Later that afternoon, my nanny Linda came to see me.

The lights on the tree are so pretty.

Then Mommy told me that if I wanted good presents from Santa then we would have to leave him cookies, hence the cookies.

Here is how my stocking looked before I went to bed.

Someone ate the cookies, Santa must have came!

Is that Tyrone sticking out of my stocking????

Christmas morning!!! Just before Mommy woke me up, I had to do my morning routines before they'd let me at the presents!

Wow! Look at all the stuff Santa brought me!

I must have been a good boy (he must have looked a few incidents......)

Ooooohhh, A wubzzy!

My favorite gift of all....the airport!

My drum(it's switch adapted!)

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E, It's the mickey mouse clubhouse...opps sorry I got sidetracked singing.

Looks it's the super sleuths.

And a dragon.....

Okay, now I am all dressed in yet another 'special shirt'. And it is time for more family. My G-momma and G-papa, Aunt NayNay (again) and Uncle Kaymon came and brought Mommy and Daddy breakfast. Then a little bit later Granny Jewel and Papa Roy came too.

G-momma and her girls

G-momma stealing sugars from me!

Mommy kept wanting a family photo but me and Daddy wouldn't look at the camera.

Here is all the stuff that was wrapped up under the tree from mommy and daddy.

Here is the stuff from Granny Jewel and Papa Roy

G-momma got me a pirate shit...argg... and gave mommy money for me.

Now, I will admit. I love toddles as much as any kid but don't be putting things on my head!

Vent switch and Pumpkins

noreply@blogger.com (Aiden's mommy) — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 13:33:00 +0000

On Oct 13th we were admitted to Children's to switch to LTV vent. We did it mainly because it has a backup battery system and the bipap does not. It works basically like his bipap. Aiden did great with the switch, he didn't even notice when we switch him to the other machine. We were afraid since he was so attached to his pappy.

Ready for my sleep study...boo!

The pumpkin Contest, we had an inhouse contest to see who could create the best pumpkin. This is Aiden with mine (the witch) and his (silly pumpkin with pablo hat). Scotty never would do his.

noreply@blogger.com (Aiden's mommy) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 13:41:00 +0000

Here are Aiden's newest pics. You can see him go from the American idol look. You know part standing up and part brushed over to what was supposed to be a high and tight but the clippers cut way shorter than I wanted with the largest blade.

aiden has gotten to where he thinks if he doesn't look at me when I have the camera out then it it not happening.

Playing with the lion I adapted (my first foray into adapting toys)

Ah, ebing attacked by wonder pets!

Aiden Finally gets to meet Princess Chloe
It was so amazing to see Aiden with someone like him. Aiden and Chloe are so similar in their abilities. It was also great to finally get to meet Jenny. She has kept me sane though so many times.

Aiden and Chloe just held hands, tapping their fingers.

I have been doing an atrocious job of keeping up this site with Aiden's pictures I swear I will do better!

ENJOY!!

Playing with his switch light

Coloring with his silky sticks!

Mom (G-momma) came out and was trying to entertain Aiden since he felt so bad from trying to cut teeth. He kept looking at her like she was insane!

Just woke up from nap, don't mind the wet shoulder.

Aiden is a champ at soaking though burp cloths, I think we go through about 10 a day.

All dressed up after getting home from the doctor. I didn't get a chance to trim the mohawk down before we went.

I finally got to cut his hair, and I cut it shorter than what I wanted. As I always say about my own after coloring diasters. It's hair it will grow.

Prettiest eyes in the South (...possiably the whole US...okay that WHOLE WORLD!)

April 15th-25th 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Aiden's mommy) — Sat, 10 May 2008 14:07:00 +0000

Some pictures of Aiden from April.

We got him a swing to use with his tumbleform. He loves it, he likes watching the hooks that hold it up. He likes watching how things work. Very Anayltical.

(Oh, I don't look at the kitchen behind it, it is still torn apart from the redecorating, G-momma had to finish the semester before she could help me finish.)

Snoozing away on his bipap

A shirt to remind everyone that he is the handsomest Prince in the land!

Aiden's Tom Sawyer shirt from Miss Laura in Georgia. She's sweetheart that sends Aiden goodies.

Aiden not feeling to hot. Those allergies did a number on him.

Doctor Aiden and the Haircut

noreply@blogger.com (Aiden's mommy) — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 13:11:00 +0000

Aiden was a little junky last week and I was listening to his lungs (they were clear!) He thought it was the funniest thing ever. He was sleepy and being silly. So, I let him wear the stethoscope, I let him listen to my heart beat and he loved it. He was smiling and laughing!

Dr. Aiden

I decided it was time to control the hair. Aiden already had a mohawk, except it was starting to look like the Flock of Seagulls hairdo from the 80's. So, I trimmed it down to a controlled Mohawk.

The Finished Product!

Aiden loves baseball!!! He would get all into the games last summer so we were eagerly anticipating this season. It doesn't help that Scotty and I are huge fans. Most women gripe about being sports widows. I love baseball and football so much I watch them while Scotty is at work.

He wore various baseball inspired clothes for the opening week of baseball!

Aiden will give me a #1 but he kept pulling his finger down as I snapped the epic!

Using his exercise band to stretch his shoulders

And to life his legs

Because of some anonymous donations were able to order Aiden several new plays pretties.
One is some switch adapted police light. He got a red, blue and green one. He hated them at first but now he likes them. Here is a video of him playing with the green one! It will look blurry and pixilated until it starts

EASTER 2008

Happy EASTER

On Friday night G-momma, Aunt Dana, Uncle Kaymon and Granny Jewel came over to partake in coloring eggs with Aiden. Unfortunatly Aiden got very bored, very quick. So he went with his dad to watch March Maddness

Some pictures that were taken between 3/18-3/20.

I caught Aiden mid-yell!

I can't figure out it he is trying out the Flock of Seagull hairdo from the 80's or trying to be like Conan O'Brien!

Look at how long I've gotten!!!

Scotty had to work over about 3 hours, Aiden and I got bored. I was trying to give him bigtails like Chloe (his girlfriend) but they wouldn't stay up. So, he got a unitail!

Aiden's Strange legs in shorts

Aiden getting all into Wheel of Fortune (he loves Vanna, I told him she was older than his G-momma)

His Tumbleform chair and Hessinger Collar

Portable suction and bipap (portable suction says in Livingroom when at home)
Pulse/Ox
Percussion wand

Seriously, Mommy enough with the camera

Aiden loves to hold onto my finger

The Shirt says it all!

Mommy, quit taking my picture!!!

Aiden was having an EMO hair night. Must be his Aunt NayNay rubbing off on him.

The shirt says "This is how I roll", Because that is my favorite saying!!

For those who keep up with Aiden CB journals, I mentioned his sudden adversion to tubby time. Here are some of the vile looks I get when trying to wash his hair.

Getting ready for St Patrick's Day!!!!

Says it all!
