A Crawler and A Sentence-Speaker

We now have a crawler on our hands!  For the past few weeks, Aiden has been using his toes to scoot himself around the room.  (Oliver was more of a roller/scooter.)  He can get to just about anything that is in the room, within reach of the floor.  Today, however, he got up on hands and knees and took a few "crawls" forward.

At one point, Oliver started to crawl around him, encouraging him, and showing him the proper technique.

On the Oliver front, Oliver has been saying full sentences periodically.  This evening, he said, "I want a banana, Daddy."  It was so clear, I think Mark had to do a double-take.

Aiden Months 4-6

Quite the personality Aiden has!  He is easy-going and super joyful (as long as his basic needs are met - fed, changed, rested).  He is growing so big!

So proud!

Mommy/Daddy, Look!

Oliver regularly shows us how big he is.  Mommy/Daddy, "Look!" is what he says. 

Here, he tries his push bike.

Like Father, Like Son

Remind you of anyone??

First Day of School

Oliver had his first day of school!  He only goes one day/week for a few hours, but he comes home with so many stories and new ideas!

Putting his shoes on.

Ready to go!
