My 29th Bday

I know that 29 is not really a big milestone year and it's not usually that big of a deal but my 29th birthday was.  Mostly because it was Aaden's first night away from Mommy and Daddy.  He had his first sleepover without us.  My birthday fell on Friday the 13th so we went out to dinner with a family and a few friends.  Aaden came to dinner with us but he went home with Grandma and Grandpa around 930pm and spent the night at their house.  I was a little worried in the days leading up to him spending the night there and not for any reason other than I didn't know how he would sleep and didn't know if he would wake up and miss us.  I was worried about him even though I knew he would be in the best care with my mother-in-law, Ann.  And of course he did just fine.  He did wake up in the middle of the night and Ann got up and played with him for about an hour - he's pretty lucky, Mom or Dad would not be willing to get up at 2am to play with him, we'd give him a bottle or bring him into bed with us or something but we would definitely be trying to get him back to sleep so that we could go back to sleep as well!  I'm glad that we all survived his first night away - now the next time will be even easier.  I think it's good for him to have some time away from us and with his grandparents.  It's good for him to know that he'll be ok with other people and that we will always come back for him.
Here are some pics from dinner that night

(We have a lot of cute pics from the night but I just posted ones here that included Aaden)

I don't like this picture of me but since it's of the 3 of us,

I'll take one for the team

Alivia came to visit for a little while!

It looks like she's choking him in this picture but I'm pretty sure she wasn't

Doesn't Aaden look so tough with that pacifier??
