First Pet

Aiden went to his first birthday party for a little girl in our ward. As a party favor he got a goldfish with the bowl and food. HE LOVED IT!! He would watch it, and talk to it. He would do the sign for fish every time we walked into the kitchen where it was. We named the fish "Hot" because that is the first word Aiden said.
Alas, like all 10 cent goldfish do, "Hot" went belly-up about five days later and he took the big swim down the toilet. But all drains lead to the Ocean, right?

5 days...that's pretty good. Anytime I have bought goldfish they have barely made it from the store to my house! good thing they are so cheap, go get him another one!

We had a fish named Pedo that was like a son to my husband... When he went belly up, it was the end of the world! Brad has never been the same since that sad day. Pedo and Hot are hanging out this very minute. I JUST KNOW IT!

What cute pictures... he is so fascinated. I remember when Brad's Pedo went belly up... it was a sad day. Good thing Aiden will never remember the heartache he felt when he lost Hot. :)

I love this! What a cute blog and an even cuter family! Your family picture is adorable! Is Aiden walking?

Thanks Jenna! No, Aiden is not walking yet. He just barely learned to crawl on his hands and knees rather than army crawl. It won't be too long though...YIKES!
