Photography Day!
For some time I’ve had people asking me “Hey when are you gonna take some artsy shots of your son?” so we had some time today and I took some shots. I’m not super happy with them, so they’ll be another photoshoot at some point. But here are some of the highlights.
5 months past your due date
Well Ayden, you are now 5 months (on July 25, 2009) past the date that you would have been born if everything went okay with mommy carrying you. We celebrated yesterday by buying you a new toy! You are certainly changing. You are getting bigger. Your longer now and heavier too. I don’t know how much you weigh right now as we don’t go to the doctors for a while, but I can just tell you are growing. You are also starting to become really really interested in what mom and dad are eating. Soon we will start to give you some rice cereal and then a whole new world opens. You are also really starting to teeth now. Nothing is showing through yet, but you are biting on everything that you can get your hands on…you are also a drool machine. Sometimes you...
Ayden Phones Dad!
So I got a phone message from my son today.. and here’s how it went. it was awesome!!!
Ayden's Baptism!
Well today marks a big step in Ayden’s life. Today, Sunday July 19, 2009 Ayden was Baptised at Calvin Presbyterian Church in Kitchener. This is the same church that Mark and I were married at!

When he was in Minister Mark’s arms being baptised he just stared at Minister Mark with such caring and curious eyes. There was a part in the prayer that really stuck out in my mind…when the Minister was holding Ayden, he said something to the effect of…we are so blessed to have you here with us. Since all that Ayden and our family has been though, this brought a tear to my eye. Mark and I spent the last two days getting ready for this...
strong eyes
Well yesterday Ayden and I had to go back to hamilton for another eye appointment. The last appointments have been aweful as Ayden had to be restrained and things were stuck in his eyes to make sure that growth was happening properly. This eye appointment however was the fasted appointment we have ever had. They were checking for muscle development in his eyes. I got to the clinic and they called us in right away. The doctor took a green frog squeeky toy and moved it around the room to make sure that Ayden was tracking, which he did rahter well. Then she turned off the light in the room and looked in Ayden’s eyes with a bright light. She turned back on the lights and said, he is doing just great. Muscles are developing properly, see you in 6 months. I was...
