We’ve been very very busy!!! Learning and growing, teething and eating! Its been a crazy few months with all the holidays and having a more active Aiden!
So, since the last time I wrote I am assuming Aiden was about 6 months old? I cant remember at the moment, but he is now 9 1/2 months old! He has two teeth on the bottom and we are slowing switching him over to milk-based formula instead of the soy formula. And boy does this make him GASSY! WHEW!
He wants to walk or stand as much as possible and he is getting more interested in crawling. Now when I sit him on the floor, he immediately starts to lean or reach for whatever is remotely close to him! I can’t put him down anywhere and expect him to stay there!
At night when I check on him, he is usually rolled over on his side or on his stomach! This is a really recent development. This morning Pete went in and found Aiden awake and sitting on his knees holding onto the wrungs of the crib staring up at him! He does the funniest things…..
I have to post pictures and definitely a video- I will try to do that tonight!
Aiden had a great Thanksgiving and a really nice Christmas with tons of cool gifts from everyone. We were lucky and managed to sneak in a visit with all of our loved ones and everyone was pleased to see how CUTE and how BIG Aiden has gotten. He’s weighing about 27 lbs now! He’s due for another check up soon so we’ll get the exact amounts then, but otherwise he’s doing really well!
His personality is developing daily- he gets made and kicks his legs or flails his arms- he reacts differently to Daddy than to me (some good ways and some bad ways!) and he is getting more opinionated about his food. We tried something new last night and he downright refused to eat it! He kept hitting the spoon and flinging Parmesan Pasta everywhere. But, when I gave him the Apple Delight, he was all over it. Funny how that works 
Well, I am very sorry for the long wait for this blog. I promise, it will all be worth it when the pictures come later!
Love you all!
