More videos for grandparents

Just thought I would post some more videos that only grandparents would enjoy. Aiden has recently learned to drink out of a straw and is loving it! He also seems to have a love affair with the vacuum cleaner...he got that from his Daddy, certainly not from me!

It's a bird, it's a plane...

Nope, it's pterodactyl Aiden running the playground from his swing!

Pasta boy

Aiden loves eating pasta. He also loves talking about it.

Camping Gear

We had to buy all new family-friendly camping gear for our upcoming trip. Perhaps we over estimated our tenting needs? That is one BIG tent...

Does the boy need a haircut yet, or what?!

For grandparents only

Sometimes you just have to post a video that only the grandparents will love and appreciate...to everyone else, it is just a boy playing.

Getting Big!

Just had to post a few pictures of Aiden looking like a big boy! Can't believe he is coming up on a year.

Happy Birthday America!

For Aiden's first Fourth of July celebration we all headed down to the old 'hood for a day of festivities! Huntington Beach is known for it's outrageous celebrations...so we couldn't wait to introduce Aiden to it. The entire town shuts down almost except for bike traffic. It isn't uncommon to see bike gangs of several dozen people riding down the middle of busy streets. We were able to borrow a bike trailer for Aiden so he could join in! He seemed to enjoy riding around with all of the activity going on. He did very well during the fireworks and didn't cry at all. In fact, he didn't seem too interested in them. The grand finale caught his attention, but other than that he just watched quietly. It was a great day and we were happy to spend it with friends!

The last video is of a fireworks show during a Death Cab for Cutie concert I attended. It was at the Hollywood Bowl, which is a really neat outdoor concert hall set in the Hollywood Hills. I just thought it would be fun to post fireworks for those already missing the Fourth!
