I promised!

Aiden is such a moose! His physical went well today! He came in at 27inches and 18.5 pounds! He's a big big boy! He was showing his doctor all his neat tricks like sitting up, standing, jumping, and rolling all around! He even showed off his sign for "pick me up" which is what he interprets the "all done" sign to mean. LOL He didn't like getting his shot, but we got him settled down and all was well. He took two long naps today with me (I was so tired, but what's new).

I haven't gotten jack done around the house, so I'm going to go clean the kitchen before I go for a walk. Mr. Man is in bed already. :-) Oh to be small.

IT LIVES!

This blog has been pitiful the last couple months. I apologize to my loyal followers.

Aiden is a BEAST! Tuesday is his 6 month physical, I'll update on height and weight after that appointment.

He still sleeps very very poorly day and night and that has been a constant drain. Actually the primary reason I don't post on here much recently. I'm so very sleep deprived, but Baris and I have worked out a schedule to ease some of that insanity for me so I can get some rest over the weekends.

Other than not sleeping, Aiden is just awesome. He has learned to roll all around. On Mother's Day he demonstrated his all new mastery of the back and forth rolling...over and over and over again. Just last week he showed me how he could be one place...then NOT! Simply by rolling across the floor, stopping, changing direction, and rolling again. He can hold himself up on hands and knees for a little bit, but doesn't do it much unless I put him like that. I don't think he likes it. He's trying to scoot on his tummy, but for now he's decided that scooting on his back will do. This trick is tons of fun at diaper changes, as you might imagine. He loves to jump jump jump his jiggles out, he gets super excited and if I just hold him, he goes bonkers jumping up and down. It's so cute. He's laughing a lot more now. He's still stingy about it, but I hear it more often. I'll do anything to make him laugh, and do it until he will laugh no more because I just love the sound of it and the look on his face when he's laughing. He thinks my friend's 3.5 year old is so funny when he jumps off the couch, just laughs his little jiggly baby butt off at him!

He's eating a lot of foods now. I've made him sweet potatoes (the current favorite), applesauce, pears, peas and carrots, and avocado (which he didn't like). He's also had peaches, green beans, and squash. I even give him yogurt melts and he loves those! The only thing I have to say about all this is that I miss the exclusively-breastfed-poo that didn't stink. HAHAHA! He eats twice a day now, and knows that it's coming when I put him in his high chair. He gets all excited. When I'm feeding him he goes "mmm! mmm! mmm!" :)

He is SUCH a water baby! He just LOVES being in the water, watching water, touching it, splashing, and loves his Baby Neptune movie all about water. I took him to Long Lake today with his girlfriend Emily, who turned one yesterday, and put his feet in the lake. He wiggled his toes and kicked his feet to splash the water. He just loved it. It was a beautiful afternoon.

A few weeks ago Emily's Mommy and I took the babies to the park to swing for the first time. I think Aiden likes it, but he's so busy studying things that he doesn't get all excited. His little girlfriend gets ALL jazzed up though! The babies just love the park!

So that's pretty much all that's new. The only other thing going on is my new blog:

So now I have two blogs. I'm commited to once a week on the other blog, so I'll post on this one at least that much. :-)

I hope all my readers aren't too rabid. I would post a picture of Aiden from recently except my husband hasn't finished migrating my files over after reformatting it (a task that took him three months to get to by the way...those of you who see him regularly can feel free to give him S*** about that). Hopefully by my next post it will be done and I can get you a new cute shot of my little man!

All the best,

Megz
