Aidan is now two and a half and an incredible handful. Apparently we haven't learned our lesson now though. Jaime is pregnant with our second child. She's due on February 3rd and, ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2008/08/07/nearly-a-year/ *DISCLAIMER: This post is not safe for small, Santa loving kids*  Aidan got to sit on Santa's lap at the Somerville firefighter's Christmas party a couple of weeks ago. This is sort of a special Santa visit since the part was being played by my dad. This is why ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/12/15/smoochin-on-santa/ We’ve been making Aidan laugh for a very long time. Its never been very hard. All my tired material is brand new to him and he’s an easy audience. Mostly though, his brand of comedy has been physical. Funny faces, prat falls, peek-a-boo, dramatic movements, and a good old ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/08/29/the-dawn-of-humor/ I recently upgraded my camera. I went to a digital SLR from my point and shoot. Admittedly, the Panasonic Lumix I was shooting with is a terrific camera with a lot of capability but I found myself wanting even more control and flexibility. I'm shooting with a Canon 30D ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/08/27/daddy-got-a-new-camera/ We had our Mancini Family Reunion in Connecticut this weekend. It was the first time that we've had Aidan out for a full weekend and sleeping in foreign territory. The last attempt was around Christmas when he was still comparatively stationary. Now that he's hitting stride, this was a ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/07/22/a-dry-run/ It wasn't so very long ago that it took a lot of word repetition to get Aidan to say a word. Even then it was really hit or miss. As he embraces parrot mode now he's picking up words with a frightening speed. Yesterday he came home with a onesy ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/06/29/bum/ I managed to get off my butt tonight and upload some new Aidan pics. That's no smal feat considering the size of my butt and the smothering heat we're dealing with right now. Aidan is whipping out the new words at a pretty alarming pace. His newest is "shrimp", which ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/06/27/photos-for-the-clamoring-masses/ Hi. Remember me? I used to run this website. There's something to be said for having a job you hate but gives you access to the internet. It gives you incredible opportunities to screw around and do things like setting up websites and running blogs. Now I have a job ... http://www.tomandjaime.com/blog/2007/06/25/hello/
