Hakuna Matata - No Worries!

A few days ago, I heard Aden singing a song about "worries for days." He often brings new songs home from school, but I thought this was odd. I listened a little more and realized he was singing Hakuna Matata from The Lion King.

It means No Worries

For the rest of your days...

It's our problem free

Philosophy....

Hakuna Matata!

Aden's Days of the Week and Counting in Spanish

I finally caught his Days of the Week song on video! And also a little counting in Spanish. (He can count to six right now). Mostly, he's just cute.

"I eat ketchup on my ketchup"

Occasionally, Aden and I get the chance to treat ourselves to a happy meal date and this weekend we got that opportunity. I love these pictures because they really show his personality. And also, because no one would believe me that he LICKED the ketchup bowl! Yuck!

Will you be my Valentine?

I'd like to think that I was Aden's special Valentine this year (and always). I mean, he told me I was when I asked. But this is what I found later that night when I went to his room... he saved all his snuggles for daddy while they watched cartoons. Oh well... I guess I'll share.

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day this year, Aden colored some hearts and I added his picture. He did a great job! Here are some pictures of him delivering a few of his hearts....

^^ To Gigi...

^^ Walking the hall to Mama's room...

^^ To Mama (while she was getting her hair done)...

^^ To Lola at her house....

^^ And to daddy, complete with a can of honey roasted peanuts (that Aden was anxious to share!)

What's in a name?

Well, I think we may have decided on a name. It is subject to change of course, since June is still a few months away and a pregnant mind is fickle. But at this point it's a decently solid choice (and was also on my list when I was pregnant with Aden). His name will be Ethan Elwell.

According to Babynames.com, Ethan means firm and strong. I think this is going to be pretty accurate just based on Aden's name meaning:

Aden most definitely is a little fire!
