Peek-a-boo

We got a new washer a few weeks ago. The box has become a permanent fixture in our living room as Aiden's clubhouse. Here's Aiden peeking out the window.

Aiden is 10 Months Old

Well, the blog hasn't been updated for a while, but little Aiden sure has been busy! Aiden now has six teeth with two more on the way! He has learned to crawl from one end of the house to the other at the speed of light, and he has steadily improved his balance as he cruises around the furniture. He constantly does funny little things that make us laugh.

Aiden was Yoda for Halloween. He wasn't too crazy about the costume, but he did allow Mommy and Daddy to take a few pictures. Mommy and Daddy even dressed up too.

Aiden is 9 Months Old!

Since we haven't posted in a while, here's what Aiden's been doing. Aiden continues to grow and has started exploring the house now. He loves to stand and pull up and walk with our help. He has one bottom tooth and at least one on the way. He babbles a lot. "Da Da" still continues to be his favorite word. His little tummy troubles have been improving since his 8th month. He is on solids foods - three meals a day with fruits, veggies, and cereals. Aiden is so much fun! He loves to play and laugh. It won't be long before he is terrorizing the neighborhood.

We went for Aiden's 9 month appointment this week. He weighs 21 pounds, 1.5 ounces (62%). Our little guy is now 27.5 inches long (that's getting close to half of Mommy's height).

At the end of September, we went to Hilton Head. Daddy had a convention there, and Monmmy and Aiden just had to go with him. :) Aiden loved swinging on the playground.

Aiden also loved dipping his feet in the ocean and playing in the sand. Long strolls on the beach usually put him to sleep for a good long nap in the shade of the beach umbrella. We drove at night so the little guy slept nearly the entire trip both going and coming.

This is the life!

My 6 Month Stats

Mommy took me for my 6 month checkup ay the end of July. Drum roll please.... I weigh 18 lbs and 12.5 ounces (71 percentile), and my height is 26.25 inches (42 percentile). So you can tell that Mommy and Daddy are feeding me well. I am now eating oatmeal in addition to my rice cereal. Mommy has started making my baby food (only green veggies so far), and I may start those in a few weeks. She plans to make carrots this weekend. My favorite activities these days are bouncing and trying to crawl. I am getting close. I just need to learn how to move my arms and hold my head up. Right now, I drag my face, but it generally gets me where I want to go. :) My favorite toy is little bug that crinkles when I squeeze it. I am babbling a lot these days. I can say words that sounds like "hey" and "da da".

Daddy and Me

Hooray! I'm six months old!
