Annie is such a good big sister. She spends so much time playing with Aidan. As a result, some of his biggest smiles are reserved for her.

Tummy time
I haven't been putting Aidan on the floor on his belly enough. He spent at least 20 minutes, maybe more like 30, happily playing on the floor today. He was so happy and so smiley, I just had to take some pictures.

Siblings
I have often thought what a blessing it is that the kids each (well, except for Aidan) have a sibling his or her own age, own gender. Jakin and Corban talk to each other All. Day. Long. Just jabbering about professional soccer players, Fantasy Football, Legos, or Star Wars. Long after we have sent them to bed, we can still hear them yapping upstairs. And they enjoy doing the same things together, especially games with balls.
Annie is Lauren's little Mommy. Annie is the one who gets up with Lauren in the mornings these days (much to the delight of her mother who is still getting up multiple times each night with a 4-month old). Annie is the one who takes Lauren to the bathroom, helps to get her breakfast, and helps to get her dressed. The girls like seeing Daddy in the mornings and then they just play.
Girls doing girl things. Boys doing boy things. Lots of mixing it up. Good days.

Dirty girl
Lauren's recent run-in with the dirt pile outside.....
.... was a good opportunity for me to use my new mudroom sink!

All five
That's a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches ....
A lot of dirty underwear in the laundry
A lot of soccer practices
A lot of incredulous looks and disbelieving stares when I say that we have five kids. "Are you kidding?"
Nope. Five. And it's a wonderful thing. For so many reasons.

Some recent Aidan pictures
Aidan is usually a very happy boy. And he makes everyone around him happy with his sweet smile. He smiles at everyone he sees so it's a joy to be out with him.
Hanging out with Dad
Aidan reserves the best of his many smiles for his older siblings
Big boy loves the exersaucer, especially when one of the other kids is talking to him
I did say usually happy.... every once in a while, Aidan's pouty lip makes an appearance. That, too, is very cute.
