Baby Aiden's 1st Christmas

Christmas Day has come and gone and, wow, the day was wonderful. Christmas is just that much more fun with a child to share the experience. Aiden was so excited to see what Grandma and Grandpa Helmers, and Nana and Papa Kastl got him for Christmas.

Christmas has turned out to be a landmark day in another sense, Aiden now greets me from sleep standing in his crib, no longer lying down or on hands and knees. What a big boy! His crawling just gets faster and faster, and he prefers standing to anything else. It is now a constant watch to make sure he does not fall back or loose balance when on the hardwood floor or ceramic tile. He is pretty tough, bumps and scratches with few tears.
