So we haven't had much going on lately except Ayden growing, and myself getting older. I turned 31 years old in January. I feel like I am getting old. Its funny because as you grow up you can't wait until you turn 12 then 16 then 21. Then after about 25 years old you want to start counting backwards. They always say you are only as old as you feel. So I guess I still feel younger, for now. We will see after another year of chasing Ayden around. :) He never slows down. If he ever stops moving he is asleep or he stops for 2 seconds to give you a brief moment of peace and then he is off and moving again.
Here Ayden is getting ready to go out to the barn with me. He loves it outside but doesn't like that he can't get on the ground and cawl around. Its way to muddy!
Here is my brother and Ayden hanging out at our house for my family birthday party. I also had a barn surprise birthday party, but Jessica and Cy forgot the camera, (opps) but Jessica Smith had a camera but I have not been able to get them from her yet.
Ayden and I opening presents. The paper and ribbons are the funnest for him to play with. He likes to eat the paper. Yummy!
Here we are posing for a birthday picture. This was the first time he had really seen ballon's and he loved them. He pulled them around with him for a week. He had a blast!
And last but not least, here is Ayden all ready for bed and wiggly as can be. He never slows down until the last second before he closes his eyes.
So we got to get up at 5am and go to the hospital. Ayden couldn't eat anything after midnight and he only had a little water at about 2am so I was thinking he was going to be a bit grouchy but as you can see at 6am he was pretty chipper. They were trying to get the SP02 monitor on his toe and he hates having his toes touched (he gets that from me), so it took about 10 minutes to get an accurate reading. We finally got it and then he was the 1st surgery scheduled for the day. He was pretty styln' in his baby hosptal gown (they definitly do not look this good on adults).
He started gettting hungry right before they came and took him but he held it together prettty well. The nurse took him off to surgery and he didn't even care. The surgery took about 10 minutes and the doctor came out and told us everthing went well and that he had a lot of thick fluid behind his ear drum. He was in recovery for 2 minutes (until they were sure he was breathing well) and then they brought him back out. He was mad but not as bad as I thought he was going to be and he calmed down in about 5 minutes. 
Here's an after shot, leaving the hospital. He slept all the way home, woke up ate a little breakfast played for a bit and now he is taking another nap. I wish I could recover that fast. We will see how he does as the day continues! I hope it will help him sleep better at night. That is my greatest wish!! :) But we are really happy all went well today! Now hopefully he can start to hear all his words better, the doctor said he has been hearing like he is underwater all the time.
