My first Pancake experience
Alright so yesterday was Shrove Tuesday (the day before Lent begins for us Catholics) and our church holds an annual pancake evening, where all the pancakes are provided and all we had to do was take our fillers and drinks.
A lovely evening all in all in spite of it's crazy beginning, with the massive thunderstorm on the way to the church which in the end made it an even more spiritual thing for us as we spent the whole journey praying,anyway Candice, Ryan and Kyla-Lee joined us(they came a little later so they would miss the big storm) as did the rest of the Hunt/ Fernandez clans... This was to be a special night, not only was it marking the beginning of Lent but it was also my first experience with these strange flat things that they call pancakes.
THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!! Mommy put just the tiniest sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on for me, and that was the end of that, it was finished quicker than you could say YUM!
i just couldn't get enough of the wonderful flat meal (which is meant to be rolled, but i got so excited that i unraveled it) Man oh man why have you kept this from me for so long?
(Please excuse the quality of the pic as it was taken with mommy's phone)
My first tastes of pancake and Kyla just chilling:

I've been a very busy boy...
Hi all sorry i haven't been posting much lately but i have been a very busy boy!
Now the last time i posted was all about my 1st Christmas, but as you can guess there have been loads of things keeping both me and mommy and daddy busy since then...
So lets begin... during and just after the Christmas season we were busy house(or at least dog and cat sitting) for uncle Pierre and aunty Rene and also for uncle Sean, aunty Larine (also Thomas and "sunshine")so all in all it was 5 dogs and one cat! lots of fun...
Then came my 1st New Years, well that was also loads of fun, aunty Mel and uncle Andrew came and so did aunty Gerry and uncle Kevin and my friend Tyrone! we had a nice braai, (Tyrone and i pretty much polished off a big bag of flings between the two of us) and we then played for a while. But alas i didn't make it to see the New Year in... Mommy was mean and put me to sleep, it was all her fault!
I have also found a new hiding/play place i call it "Toy land's cupboard of fun" but mommy calls it " the Tupperware cupboard" this is a really fun game for me as i pull absolutely everything that i can get my hands on out of the cupboard and then climb in, and sit there like I'm on my throne,surveying my wondrous deeds of unpackment... (yes unpackment is my new word, i am the king, that's why i can make up my own words)
I have also been cruising now for a while BUT i have some new tricks too, i can pull up on gates and shake them like I'm in a prison movie, i can also climb up all the stairs at home now, i must admit it was quite funny the first time i did it, i gave mommy and daddy the fright of their lives!
Hmmm now what else can i do?
... oh yes i can stand unaided for about 15-20 seconds- this is my proudest accomplishment this year as it totally amazes both mommy and daddy, Yes i know I'm ammmazing! i just cant wait until i can walk, WOW it's gonna be great!
OK OK so it wasn't just me that's been busy, it's mom and dad too!
mommy has been busy planning my party- it's going to be such fun,I'm turning ONE! and practicing the cupcakes and chocolates so that when she has to make them for real they will ROCK! I love my mommy!
And daddy has been very busy at work, he has been building some new applications for the teams to use, he has made quite a few apps for me to even start explaining what each one does, but he is very good at it, he won two awards for it, the first award he got a really cool trophy and the second one he got a trophy and a 27" LCD screen for his PC at work(he has a BIIIGGG picture of ME on it) we are so proud of daddy, he is so clever, but he must just be careful because one day i am soooo going to be more clever than he is... hey dad watch out!
Oh yes i also have a new play friend, her name is Angeline and she comes on Thursdays, she is our new maid, i love to follow her around the house and watch her work- such fun!!
some things i love to do:
1) i love to swim
2) i love banging on gates
3) i love playing in Toy land's cupboard of fun
4) i love the beach
5) i love ice-cream
6) i love smiling
7) i love to pull my tongue
8) i love my dog

Our First Christmas!
Okay so I'm pretty sure that you have all gathered by now that this was Aidan's first Christmas, so you will then realize just how much excitement there was in not only our household but that of the Granny, Grandpa, and Noona and Goompa's homes too...
To say that mommy and daddy went a little crazy with the gifts, could, well, be an understatement, the floor under the tree was crammed with gifts and Aidan's stocking was,i guess you could say, overflowing...
Anyway our Christmas festivities really were extended this year, it all started with opening some pressies on Christmas eve with moms side of the family, then Christmas day we stopped by at Noona and Goompa's to give Nana and Granddad their little gift and was surprised to see that the little Mr got yet another noisy toy... however mommy doesn't mind it too much as it's not as bad as some of the toys that were around back in her day! After we left Noona and Goompa's we went home and had a lovely fruit breakfast and open (wait for it...) more presents and spent the rest of the day playing with our new toys.
On Boxing day we went down the coast to visit daddy's family, and lo and behold there were more gifts... Now both my toy boxes are full! Yes that's right i have two! Well i suppose everyone needs just a LITTLE spoiling at times...now we have enough toys for upstairs, downstairs and in a bag for when we go out!!!

Sleep Training...
So about 2 weeks or so ago, Andrew and i decided that it was time to start training Aidan to sleep in his cot, as he is too long and wriggly now to stay in the bed with us...
So this was how bedtime in the Bevan household happened, mommy and Aidan went to bed and Aidan would have his last feed and fall asleep, then later in the evening daddy would come to bed however by this time Aidan has almost successfully pushed mom out the bed and has laid claim to pretty much every inch of our queen size bed , mom and dad ended up practically sleeping on the seams of the bed whilst the smallest body of the lot, stretched out ,proud as a peacock with this feat that he managed to pull off once again! Now this was getting out of hand so we decided that it was time to train him to go down in his cot, we decide to put his camp cot into our room(so that he still has the same sights,sounds and can still smell his mom and dad's presence (nooo, I'm not talking about fart smells!)
Anyway night 1 was a complete disaster he nearly screamed the whole complex down when we tried to transfer this presumably sleeping baby into the cot...well that didn't work... anyway we waited a couple of days before we tried again, but this time mommy pulled out her DIY skills that she tends to hide, and totally disassembled Aidan's proper cot moved it through to her room and reassembled it next to her side of the bed,(now i didn't think that this would work either as he hates this cot just as much as the camp cot!)
Well that night we tried again expecting another sleepless night and after his feed next to mom, we rolled over and went into our cot! now the only time he comes into our bed is just before his bedtime to have his feed then again when (still sleeping - i might add) he climbs back in bed at round about 3-4am for his morning feed then low and behold he goes back into the cot after that...
Now this makes mommy so proud when she puts him there and he is content but last night he decided, "well OK I'm full of milk i think I'll just crawl into my cot on my own thank you very much!" that almost made my heart break because it made me feel like he didn't need my help anymore, he could now do it himself...
well anyway the point is, now all three of us have a decent chunk of bed to ourselves...

I was a GOOD boy this year, Father Christmas...
"I was a GOOD boy this year, Father Christmas... Now give me my present!" Not quite the words coming from Aidan as he sat on the FAT mans lap, it was more of a case of, "DUUUDE! I have never seen such a big grey beard like that before, are you sure it's real? if only i could reach it and give it a pull... But alas, my arms aren't long enough to get over this Fat belly!"
Oh well i guess i'll have to take his word for it!
Anyway besides not feeling totally 100% of my normal self we still had a great time at daddy's work with all the other children, even my friend Tyrone was there with aunty Gerry and uncle Kevin and his granny and grampa... there was so much food and things to see but my favourite part has got to be my funny bloon doggy that the nice fairy lady made for me, it looked like Aimee, ooooh yes and when i opened my present and saw a cool truck...
Man, it's sooooooo cool, its a blue tow truck with a red bumper and green tow hitch, but the reason it's super cool, has to be the tinted windows, i think i'm so cool cause i have a car, Wah wah wah wah wah!
well bye for now i'm going to go and have my nap and then when i wake up i'm gonna play with my truck... VROOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
