Aiden's 3rd birthday

Last week Monday Aiden turned three.  The toddler years sure go fast when you don't have the child until age 22 months!  He's acting more and more like a little boy and less like a toddler every day.  He talks constantly and always has to be part of the action.  He loves to go swimming, ride his trike, and play with his trucks.  And he follows his big brother around everywhere. 

 We went to my parent's house for Aiden's birthday.  He had so much fun opening his presents and was smiling the entire time.  It was so cute.

 My mom recently bought this forklift truck at a garage sale and it has become a hot item!  The boys both love playing it so they' have had to learn to share and take turns- tough lessons for a 3 year old and 4 year old who both LOVE trucks!

 I included this picture because Aiden is obsessed with smelling his feet.  I don't know why but he started doing this on our recent trip to Wisconsin.  He gets upset when they smell stinky and wants them washed right away.

 The perfect birthday cake for a little boy who loves trucks!

 Aiden smiled the whole time we lit the candles and was very eager to blow them out.

 A couple days ago we went to Kids' Day at the Farmer's Market.  There was a tractor pull there that both boys participated in.  It wasn't quite the competitive event we were expecting, but the boys still had fun.  You probably can't tell from the picture, but the man standing next to Aiden gave him a little push every time he got stuck.
