Aiden's First Tooth

We were in Dallas for a baby shower this past weekend and Aiden was quite fussy. We went to bed, woke up on Mon, and Aiden's first tooth had popped through!  It's on the bottom, his right side.  If you look closely, you can see the little white tooth.

Saturday Mornings

We "snooze" on Sat morning.  This pretty much means we try to sleep a few more minutes while the boys crawl around us.  Oliver is content to snuggle, but as soon as Aiden wants to wrestle, Mark and I become human wrestling mats.  Some have been lost to the floor...

Vroom vroom!

Aiden has been vrooming for a while, but today, we were reading and I was making the truck sounds and on each page, he mimicked me.  It was a very consistent this time, which made me take note and smile.  On one page, there is even an ice cream truck and I smacked my lips.  He did the same.  So precious!

Aiden - 12 months

Aiden is 12 months!


For some time now, he has been making a scrunchy face and I just love it.  He will breathe heavily in and out of his nose when he does it too.  So funny!


Aiden is my incredibly social child.  He wants to know what people are doing and be near them (especially if that person is his brother!).

He can push a push toy, but he is much more content to crawl (one leg up, one down) and is quite capable of getting where he needs to be. He is an explorer and observant.  He easily found the cookie location at Gramma Janet and Grandpa Dude's house, and slipped his little hand right on in!
  
He is also a climber.  And proceeded to climb up the chair, and onto the piano at our house!
