Well, who knows, but this is the picture that was sent off to Live’s Cutest Baby contest.

Aidan and I went to “Baby Bootcamp” this morning on the recommendation of a couple of Moms I have been hanging out with. I met Gen and Julia at Music class and we have been going out for coffee after class. They talked about their fitness classes on Wednesdays and Fridays and I asked about them. They both liked them so I decided to go and check it out.

Me being me, I decided that since there was only two weeks left of the class for this session and since it would be cheaper than dropping in each time I signed up before I changed my mind. That being said I now have three more classes that Aidan and I have to go to. It was really good and if I don’t die from the sore muscles I think I will sign up for the next session. It definitely gets me out and Aidan seemed to have a good time. If I can keep up doing the baby crunches, push ups, bicep curls and squats, and tri-cep curls with Aidan I will be one of the strongest women alive! :) (The walk to and from the community centre with the stroller and the hills helps as well!)

The only problem that I have encountered is that after the nap Aidan and had this afternoon (2 hrs) I am very stiff and sore. I guess I have not used those muscles as much in awhile. But I am getting more limber as the nap wears off so I guess Friday shouldn’t be as bad. Wish me luck!

So, we went to the park on the weekend … because it was … … sunny! (don’t tell anyone)

Anyway, we happened to have the camera along, and we happened to be by the swings.

Don’t worry, we won’t post pictures everytime he sits in swings, but here’s a few more gratuitous photos of him on the swings:

He clearly enjoys the swings…

But also mugs for the camera…

Somehow, this doesn’t look comfortable, though.

On a side note, Gwen’s been playing around with the blog settings, so if things get funky over the next few days, blame Gwen bear with us.

How early is too early to buy Aidan his own video game system? Not that I am saying we will buy him one soon, it is just he has a fascination with anything with buttons and he particularly likes the video game controller that his father plays with.

We have tried giving him his “own” controller (one of the PS1 controller we still have) but he still prefers the one his dad is using at the time. Anthony has tried to “play” with Aidan’s controller to give Aidan more interest but it doesn’t seem to be working too well. Aidan keeps looking at the paused screen and back at the controller. I think he understands that it is not plugged in and therefore not doing what he wants it to.

Aidan will play with his own controller when the video games are not on, but not when Anthony or I are playing games. It is funny to see Mommy try to dance around Aidan on the DDR mat. It will be interesting to see him when watching us sing and dance together. (I hope they have a freestyle mode for “Karoke revolution” as well.

Anyway, maybe we will be getting Aidan the V-tech “laptop” for his birthday. I know that they are geared toward the 3-4 year olds but if Anthony was reading by 3 I don’t see Aidan being far behind. We will keep you posted.
