8. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I don't have a worst gift but I have a funny one. When I was younger I would always ask my brother what he was getting me for Xmas. He told me a toothbrush.

Another favorite memory I just had to share.

Random Pictures
This is from halloween. I bought Aidan some Superman pajamas about a month before and just decided to use them for his costume.
Last night in Vegas at the Bellagio. The display was incredible.
Aidan talking to the camera.
Decorating today!
I was going to decorate my place for xmas today, but it is 80 degrees outside and it just doesn't seem right. So I might wait until Sunday/Monday when it will be much much cooler. I actually have my air conditioner on right now. It just isn't suppose to be this warm in December.
Well, I guess some things to catch you up on. The transition to whole milk went great. He didn't even notice it seemed like at first. He doesn't drink whole milk like he did formula, but he will drink some and that is all I ask. And he also did great with the sippy cup. We went cold turkey like everyone suggested and it seem to go fine. You can tell he misses his bottle but he is handling it like a pro. Thank you everyone for the advice. I think it just helped knowing that others go through the same thing.
His 15 month doctor visit went great. He even smiled at the doctor during the exam. He loves sitting on the scale, he holds in his stomach like that makes a difference (hmm wonder where he learned that?) He weighs in at 25.3 pounds and is 31.5" long. BIG Boy!!!! But very healthy and doing great.
Brett and I got away to Vegas. It was such a nice time. I would call it the perfect little get-a-way. We ate good of course, slept, played, and laughed. The Bellagio's lobby was all decked out in xmas decorations. I thought it was awesome. A lot of the casinos had on xmas music which of course I loved. We saw Wayne Brady one night. That was hilarious. They guy is just funny and boy can he sing. Aidan stayed home with Granny and Grandad. They got to experience on their own Aidan's little annoyances. I am not sure he is the perfect little grandchild to them anymore, but they had a blast with him. Aidan has a pretend cell phone and they said he talked on it the entire time.
This weekend will be filled with shopping and cleaning. Oh boy!
Hope everyone is doing great and looking forward to the holidays.
