A good weekend

This weekend was a great one for Aidan. Saturday, Roger took her to Baby Gap for what I thought was auditions for a Gap ad. Instead it was a free photo shoot, so they took 3 photos of her with a professional studio and camera, and then we pick the photos up online and can choose to submit them to the Baby Gap contest. I had bought Aidan an ADORABLE dress on clearance at Ross for $5, and I had her wear it with white tights and black patent leather mary janes. Needless to say she was adorable and Roger said that other parents in the Baby Gap were commenting on what a cutie she is! Here is her outfit for the photo shoot:





I spent the first half of the day at a real estate class downtown and after Roger took Aidan to the photo shoot, he took her to Harding Park for lunch. Well, I ended up getting home first and I came home to.... A FLOOD! Something had caused our kitchen sink to back up and there was filthy water overflowing in our sink full of dirty dishes! My first thought was, "Oh no... we left the water running!" but as it turns out, it was disgusting water from the pipes instead. So I went upstairs to the landlord's unit and he wasn't home but his wife was. Normally he HATES us, but she was actually REALLY nice to me. She attempted to unclog it with a plunger... didn't work. She then got some long wire.. didn't unclog it. That didn't surprise me. I knew that a snake was needed. Well, Roger and the landlord got home simultaneously and basically the sink needed to be pulled apart. Which meant I needed to get outta here!

We spent the afternoon at Luke's soccer game and Aidan had SO much fun! She was yelling to Luke while he was playing and then when everyone would clap she would join in too. And she doesn't like the feel of grass AT ALL. She acts like it is painful or something. My mom wanted to buy her some white walking shoes but Nordstrom didn't carry any (which... I am not sure what she wants to buy exactly, but they didn't have ANY). We were going to try to make it to zoo night, but by the time dinner was ready and eaten, it was just too late. Aidan has SO much fun over there... probably because its a circus. But it's great.. it wears her out, she has tons of fun, and my family loves seeing her.

Today was "family day". We went to breakfast at Boulevard and I was a silly mom and made Aidan wear a real "grown up" outfit... she did look adorable although I always feel guilty because she will be more comfy in sweats and a shirt probably. But I have bought her all of these adorable outfits... she has to wear them sometime! Here is the cute outfit:



and then went to Wal Mart to buy essentials and we splurged on a walking toy for Aidan. We've heard that a push type toy will encourage her to walk on her own. She is still stepping with on her toes, so I am not sure how long it will be until she walks. We got home and spent the entire day just kind of hanging out which was really nice.
