More pics...

Love this one. I had to put Aidan down in Anthony's crib for a quick minute after Anthony's nap and Anthony didn't want to get out! He wanted to lay with Aidan in his crib - what a loving big brother!

Fast alseep


Happy 1st Valentine's Day, Aidan!

Love this pic

A kiss from Anthony

Enjoying some downtime with my Godfather. Definitely a moment to capture since Uncle Mike doesn't particularly like holding babies quite this small. Fortunately for us, Aidan is a BIG "small baby'!

Anthony

Thought I'd dedicate a post to Anthony...



Here he is conquering a HUGE fear of Monkey Joe. Now they're friends :)

Another fear of the big slide at MJs...He must have done it about 20 consecutive times, probably more!

Just being silly

First Day of Daycare

Aidan's first day of daycare was a sad one for me - even though he was a bit of a challenge during my leave, I dreaded this day.

Blog Update

Things have been busy in the Marino household so here's a brief update...

There was a bit of remodeling (not really), just Anthony apparently in no mood to nap

Some new discoveries


Always laundry to do - seriously, is this child mine?

2 Month Check-up

Aidan went for his two month checkup yesterday. Unfortunately it was more of a sick visit. My poor baby has RSV. This isn't how I expected my last week of maternity leave to turn out, but all things aside, I have enjoyed my time off with both boys.

Here are Aidan's latest stats followed by some recent pics:

Weight: 12lbs, 7 oz - 69th% (what a chunky monkey we have!)

Height: 22.5 in - 35th%

Head circumference: 41.5cm - 86% (he's VERY smart!)

The Boys

Since I never posted holiday pics, here are some random pics of the boys. We are so happy to have welcomed another boy. Anthony is doing awesome as a big brother - far better than I ever expected. He adores his little brother and loves giving him lots of hugs and kisses.

Aidan Richard

We joyfully welcomed Aidan Richard Marino on November 7th at 12:30PM. He weighed in at 7lbs, 9oz and 20 1/4in long. He arrived a week early and I couldn't have been more ready! We are all so excited that he's here and Anthony is a proud, very affectionate, attentive big brother.

Such a sweet big brother

Summer Fun - Part 2!

I didn't take as many pics toward the end of summer, but I did manage to get a few very sweet moments.

Cannot get enough hugs from this kid!

Loves his Daddy!

Too cute!
