Aidan turned 7 months old last weekend! We were out of town for the weekend for my Great Great Aunt Lena's 90th birthday party in Iowa, so I'm a little late posting! This month Aidan has started sleeping all night, sitting up really well, trying to move around more, and eating lots of baby food. He also has longer, fuzzy hair that likes to stick straight up in the back!

I will be 5 years old in 3 days! Can you believe it?! Today I had my birthday party. It was a Moana gymnastics party. I had it at the place where I take gymnastics classes. It was so much fun!

We got there early to set up all the decorations. Daddy even turned on Moana music. I LOVE to sing the songs from Moana! Then my friends started arriving, and we got to color with crayons on the paper covering the table until it was time for presents and cake. I got some really great new toys and games and books!
Check out my Moana cake!

Yummy cake
Liam is such a mess!
James can be messy sometimes, too!
After cake, it was time the gymnastics teacher came to get us and take us to the gym to do some gymnastics! We started out with some warm-up jumps and animal walks. Next came an obstacle course: jumping down the long trampoline, climbing over the row of mats by the wall, jumping in the ball pit, and then climbing up the ladder. After a few times through the obstacle course, we had some free time to try the balance beams, trampolines, rings, and bars. Last, we got to play games with the parachute. It was super fun! Everyone was worn out because it was a lot of exercise!

After the party, I handed out my treat bags and said thank you and good bye to each of my friends and then headed home. It was such a great birthday party! Thank you again to all of my friends who came! I had a blast!
