So Much!

I have so much to share because it's been forever since I posted. If you want to know why...

AIDEN IS TEETHING and never sleeps anyway.

I seem to have found the trick for his daytime naps though, and he's been asleep an hour. So I can blog briefly about what's up.

Virginia:

AMAZING. I had a great time. I never wanted to come home. Two weeks was awesome, I could have done 2 decades and been satisfied. I took Aiden to the aquarium with his Mamma Jesse, Fiance Gracie, and Auntie Karen. We had family portraits done with my sisters and my mom. We made pottery, we had more pictures done, we went visiting and bouncing all around. It was FANTASTIC. I missed out on a baby shower that I REALLY wanted to go to because Aiden started getting an ear infection right before we had to fly home. I got him all better with a homeopathic remedy though and life was good. Sadly I missed what was probably the best baby shower ever! :( My only regret from the trip.

Aiden's 4 Month Appt:

He's huge. Hands down. 3 weeks ago he weighed in at 16lbs 4oz...which is 75th percentile for weight. What's more shocking is that he's 27 inches tall, putting him at 95th for height! He had his two vaccines like a champ, showed off for the doctors, and flirted with the nurses.

Aiden in General:

Well, he's teething...that's a challenge, but Hylands is AWESOME. He's having cereal twice a day now, and it's so cute I could die! He rolls on his tummy all the time, and I think in the next couple weeks I"ll be telling everyone about how well he scoots, cuz he's trying REALLY hard. He's sitting pretty well, sometimes without his arms for a short while, but mostly balancing on his arms. It's a neat trick! He likes to jump when you hold him...his little legs are crazy. Bathtime is still his favorite thing in the world...especially since he has found his toes (he found those in Virginia, along with his shreaky voice...) and he spends much of bathtime trying to suck them, and splashing his feet in the water. He's coming up on 5 months...i can't believe he's been with us so long! He'll be in college before I know it! He's still the sweetest and cuddliest little boy you've ever met, and he loves loves loves to talk! He has much to say, so you better listen up. :-)

News about B:

We got a letter a week ago from Immigration...B has his citizenship interview and test at the end of May...he will officially be a citizen by the end of June. I'm so excited I could burst. This opens up a lot of opportunities in the area we want to be in. I'm physically ill thinking about going home finally...I want it SOOO bad.

So I started this post at 3:00 this afternoon. It is now 8:48 and I'm adding a note. Aiden sat unassisted today...no arms on the floor or anything. That was this evening just before dinner. He did it quite a few times even! What a big boy!
