Well, I'm really loving my flickr.com account. It's so much easier to just upload them there and give you guys the link. Hope you don't mind! Here's one for more lake photos: AIDAN PICS
Aidan thinks he's bigger than he really is. He thinks he should be feeding himself, but unforunately, he hasn't quite mastered the use of a spoon. The result is an extremely messy Aidan.
Thanks for some comments! :) Sorry no Aidan pics, I'm super exhausted and am going to bed early. But I did want to get a little shout-out to my sis to say CONGRATS! She made it into the police academy today and will be starting in September! Yay Tanya. I'm very proud of her.
Ok, people. I know you're reading my blog. I can see how many people visit each and every day. If I can take time to post photos, you can comment! Right? Right! :) So, I have a proposal. You comment, I'll post more photos! Until then: Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nil. Zero.
(That includes you mom! I know you're here!)
We have a little suprise for you guys! We decided to have our portraits taken when Dan was home on R&R. I was going to wait to suprise you with the prints in your mailboxes, but I couldn't resist posting them today. I'm posting my 2 favorites, and here's a link to the rest of them: SEARS FAMILY PORTRAITS
Sorry I haven't been upadating daily...Yesterday Aidan and I went to a local lake with Heather and her son Cody. I was taking some photos of Cody for my future website -- nicolewelchphotography.com (stay tuned for more on that.) I told her I'd give her some prints if she would let me photograph him. He's an adorable little boy, I think he's right around 2 1/2. I'll post more about those tomorrow when I'm done editing. But of course I took some of Aidan, who was sitting in his stroller like a wonderful little boy. 
I couldn't decide whether I prefered the color version or the black and white, so I went ahead and posted both! 
Ok, ok. I get the hint. Everyone is emailing me saying where are more Aidan pics. Well, here ya go. Here's a batch I edited tonight. These are from the days John, Heleena and Rachel visited us. LINK TO ALBUM
Well Dan left, and honestly, I just haven't felt much like doing any photo work. Here's an oldie but goodie. This was the first time he ever sat up by himself. I think it scared him. Poor little Aidan.
On Saturday, Dan, Aidan and I went to the zoo. It was his very first time! We went with my friend Belinda and her daughter Kate to the Austin Zoo. Not a very big zoo like in St. Louis, but we still had a good time. I haven't gone through all the photos yet, but I was very excited about this one of Aidan. He was having a great time. I'll post more tomorrow.
Well, I didn't have any new photos to post, so here's one from about 2 weeks ago...
Dan and I are very much enjoying our leave together. Although it is raining every single day. And, I was not so lucky to get a bit sick when he first got here, and now he has it. We're thinking about taking little Aidan to the zoo sometime, cross your fingers that the weather allows it! 
So Aidan had his 6 month shots today. Poor thing - he cried really hard this time. It was worse than at 4 months, but better than at 2 months. I was glad to have Dan with us this time. He is 26 1/2 inches long and 18 pounds 10 ounces. What a giant little boy!
