Aiden is talking more and more! We traveled to Virginia, another week passed, and I started to notice a marked difference in his efforts at communicating verbally.
Expressed words include, up, more, please (mainly sign language only), truck, dump truck, dog, hot, plane, bye-bye, hi, help, no, hush (thanks to "Goodnight Moon"), Oliver, Mommy, Daddy, kitty kitty, and several more. And of course, vrooooommmm is heard regularly all over the house. He also makes the "eeeeeerrrrrrrrrr" sound as he pretends to blend things (yes, we still drink smoothies often!).
Opposite from Oliver, Aiden is not fearful of the loud noises various machines make, including my hair dryer. He likes to carry it around and make his own vvvvvvuuuuhhhh sound. One morning, I had finished using it and put it up. He fussed and I asked him what he needed. He rubbed the top of his head, pointed up, then did the sign for please. He was telling me he wanted to play with the hair dryer. He certainly communicates boldly in whatever way he knows how!

Traveling with the boys
Travel with the boys has changed over the past year. Aiden is certainly more aware and active. Oliver remains entertained by looking out the window, telling stories, or watching a show. Our most recent trip was on a plane and I traveled without Mark. The way there was uneventful. The way back, however, we had a long layover that I just wasn't excited about. However, I had not taken into account the fun and free entertainment in an airport! During our 3+ hr layover, we had lunch, rode the train/tram all over the airport, ran and walked on the moving walkways, rode the elevator, rode the escalators, met new friends and raced them on the moving walkways, and explore airport maze art.
