Shopping at Walmart


We needed to make a trip to Walmart today because
Mommy forgot to pack some PJ's! Mommy didn't think
Aiden would be drooling so much so didn't pack but
one bib so we needed bibs. The updated information
we received on Aiden prior to travel had foot size
measurements that was very incorrect! His feet are
tiny. We brought size 5 sandals with us and his
pinkie toe sticks out the side. He went barefoot all
day today and of course he wants to walk as much as
we will let him. His feet were black with dirt by
noon. Mommy just couldn't have that so a trip to
Walmart for shoes was necessary! I guess babies do
not wear many shoes here in china because they were
extremely limited in selection. In fact, there was
only one pair of shoes in the entire walmart that
would fit his foot, thankfully they were baby blue
not pink:) We have had a very good day together!
Aiden is so easy going, except for bathtime. He is
nothing but smiles to everyone he meets. Shaelyn is
simply thrilled. I bet she has kissed him 100 times
today. I finally had to tell her enough. She is good
with him but she can not pick him up. He looks small
but is very solid and surprises you when you pick him up.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. We
love you all!
