Big Accomplishments

We've had a busy month for firsts! Aiden learned to ride his bike without training wheels AND he finally gets to move up to the next swimming class. He's been in the Pike class at the Y for 2 years and finally he gets to be an Eel. Yeah! He is really enjoying riding his bike without the training wheels. We got to go on a family bike ride and it was a lot of fun. Owen also had a busy month. He began standing up on his own, crawling on all fours, climbing the stairs and he got his first haircut. I was trying to wait until he was 1, but his hair was so long. I only had a tiny bit trimmed off(I'm not ready for a big boy haircut yet!), but he still looks like a big boy. He loves being able to stand up! It allows him to get into so much more than he could before. His favorite thing is taking the kitchen towel off the oven. He's also discovered Dixie and loves to crawl at warp speed to get her when she's near.
Hudson continues to exasperate and entertain us! He is such a bully to Cullen and Aiden and plays way too rough with Owen, but at the same time he can be super helpful and say the funniest things. When you ask him how old he is, first he says "my sic"(6), then we say "no" and he says "my seven", then we say "no" and he says "my four", then we say "no, your 2" and he says "I not 2". I've started homeschooling Cullen and Aiden and today Hudson and I were talking about books and he said I needed to get him a book for homeschooling. He has a huge vocabulary and still loves the big words. We told him that we were going to Florida and we were going to fly on an airplane to get there, so now he likes to ask everyday "We go to Florida?", "Fly on airplane?"
Cullen and Aiden have been doing great with homeschooling! They like doing their worksheets and really love the reading part. It's really fun to learn along with them!
Cullen is still a great big brother! He loves to get Owen up from his nap and carry him around. He'll even pick Hudson up when he wants to be held and I'm holding Owen. He also does a good job of watching out for Aiden when they are together. We went to Marineland and they were so cute running off to the rides together, holding hands to make sure they stayed together. They are really great buddies!
