Lots of Teeth!

Aiden seems to have found his voice and is coming up with a bunch of new sounds. His favorite lately is when he puts his bottom lip just underneath his top gum and says "ba" or "fa" and sometimes it's a combination of the two. It's a lot of fun to watch because it looks like he's talking, unlike the usual moans and squeaks babies make. He also loves blowing raspberries which is adorable but very messy. He is also very chatty and wants desperately to tell you what he's thinking...I'm sure that day will come soon enough.

We visited some friends over Memorial Day weekend and Aiden got to try his first beer. Apparently he found the bottle to be quite comforting on his teething gums. He must of liked it because whenever our friend would take the bottle away, Aiden would lean forward to grab it and put it into his mouth. His top teeth have now broken through, but now I think he's got some more bottoms coming through. I can't wait till he has all his teeth...he'll be much happier and so will his parents.

I can't wait till I get to spend all day with him...only 6 more days of work!!! Yay!

I'm a horrible blogger!

I can honestly admit that I have done a horrible job updating my poor baby's blog. After viewing my friend Jeana's blog I realized I've been a total slacker. I will try and be better.

Let's see, what's new with Aiden since January 1st. He's now 8 months old and there are too many things have been discovered but I will hopefully remember them all. Aiden started sleeping through the night just after Christmas (I think this is the biggest accomplishment his daddy and I are thankful for), he started rolling over at about six months. At the same time he was rolling over he got his first tooth (bottom middle), which was followed quickly by it's neighbor. He is now getting one of his upper teeth, however, it's not his middle one so he might be looking like a little jack-o-lantern for a while.

Aiden started swim class at 6 months and he absolutely adores it. From the moment he got in the water he started kicking his little feet like he was swimming - too cute! His friend Jack is in our class and the boys are absolutely adorable!

Recently Aiden's favorite thing is to go swinging at the park. He smiles and giggles the whole time. He still doesn't know what to make of the slide, but I'm sure he'll enjoy that too soon enough.

Aiden is not quite crawling yet but he does get on all fours and rocks back and forth. He is a fabulous roller and maneuvers pretty well on his stomach - turning himself 360 degrees. He's been eyeing our entertainment system and all the buttons...I'm sure that's going to be another fun adventure!!

I posted some recent pics of Aiden. He's lots of smiles with mommy's friend Miss Amy and smiling for the camera during outside play time (6 months).
