Aiden is 3 months old

Aiden reached the grand old age of 3 months on January 5th. Sadly he is still not sleeping through the night and I fear it may be a VERY long time before he does. He is an incredibly happy baby and rarely cries. He loves to sit in his Bumbo (potty like chair) and hopefully will move onto the exercauser in a few weeks. One of his favorite things to do is stick out his tongue and it has become very difficult to find a picture without his tongue sticking out!

Chicago Trip

We left for Chicago the day after Christmas and drove the twelve hours straight through so that Aiden would sleep. We managed to arrive on the day after the snow left and leave the day before. The kids were disappointed. We were not. Pictures are of our nephew Cooper first birthday party and hanging out with our relatives

Christmas

A few pics of Christmas in the Meno house. We did our tradtion of going to the White House Christmas tree display on chrismas eve and then played board games with family friends. Christmas was spent with three other families with lots of crazy children running around.

Getting ready for Christmas

We are slowly getting ready for Christmas. We finished

decorating the tree, went to see Santa, decorated a

ginger bread house and even mailed out our cards without

too many family fights and crying outbursts..Although

without drama it wouldn't be a Meno Christmas!

Paiges 5 K

Paige ran a 5 k this morning as part of the nationwide

"Girls on the Run program". Noah, Aiden and I cheered her on in the 22 degree

weather as Mike ran with her holding her hand the whole way. She completed

the race in under 37 minutes!

Aiden turns two moths old!

Aiden is now the grand old age of two months

old. His big achievement is that he is laughing

although the laughs are few and far between

and mostly in his sleep. Hopefully by his third

month I will be saying his achievement is

sleeping through the night. A goal he is VERY

far away from!

Thanksgiving

We were very fortunate this Thanksgiving to be able to spend

it with so many friends and family. Mikes old CO and family

was in from Mississippi and three other NMCB 133 families were able

to join us. Mikes parents and sister and her husband also came in

making it a full house. Aiden made making the meal a lot more difficult

than previous years. Thank goodness I had a lot of help..The day would

have run smoothly if our garbage disposal, dishwasher and doorbell had

all decided not to break on the same day but I guess it wouldn't be a real

holiday without chaos in the Meno house!
