Computer savvy or lack therof

Still figuring this stuff out…blogging, life, you name it

I have been messing around with a lot of different wordpress themes and layouts and really have yet to find one I *LOVE*, so I think I finally just need to get on with this business of blogging and tweak as I become a little more savvy.

Last Friday, November 23, was Aidan’s 2 year “adjusted birthday.”  For those of you not “lucky” enough to be in the preemie club, this was the date Aidan would have been 2 if he had been born on time.  We spent it with family celebrating the holiday and watching this wondrous boy plunge forward full force into toddlerhood.

Sometimes it is easy for me to remember all that I missed out on when he arrived so early, there are many more days where it is easy to forget.

Aidan is, after all, doing scores of things we may never have had a right to expect from a 1.5lb preemie.  Aidan is running, tumbling, counting (sometimes to 20!), reciting his ABC’s, learning his colors, singing along to nursery rhymes, learning how to manipulate us ;-), and getting quite the sense of humor.  He will even declare to us that certain things are funny…in fact he is always right.

At this point, to catch up some of my fellow bloggers, I will start posting entries from an old site I kept when Aidan was first born.  Bear with.  :-)

Took this cute pic last week.  This might be a contender in a best “bedhead” contest.  :-)

And a great one of him playing Nintendo Wii with his cousins on Thanksgiving.  Do you think he was having a good time?

 

Feeling kinda clueless!

If you only knew the number of hours it took me just to get this blog remotely up and running, you would laugh and then go tell all of your friends.  I am intelligent about a lot of things, but coding is definitely not one of them.  I did find a theme to plug into my site that would allow some pictures to randomly rotate when the page is loaded.  (you should notice if you reload the page, that a new image appears in the header) I am still monkeying with the correct settings for the pictures to display correctly, but I think I am on my way. 

 I plan on writing a post in the next couple of days that will give you some back history on all of us and probably posting some of the updates I sent out to an MSN Group shortly after Aidan was born. 

I promise the blogging will get more interesting than this, I just wanted to get something down and make sure I remotely know what I am doing. 

So I can get some eye candy on the page, here is a copy of the family photo we took last week.  Aidan is usually SO eager to pose for the camera, but as you can see he most definitely was not in the mood by his expression.  Sadly this was the best picture of the bunch.  ;-)  The photographer says 2 is the hardest age to shoot.
