I'm on the move!






Well these days I'm really on the move. I all of a sudden realized that I could go places in that walker mommy and daddy bought me like 3 months ago! I love to walk all over the kitchen and try to get into things. One day I knocked over the trash can...that was neat.

My favorite place to walk is into the laundry room. That is the neatest room in my house. It has these 2 big white things that spin around...one day I saw Elmo in one of them! He was spinning around everywhere. Everytime I get in in my walker, I head for the laundry room.

Today mommy took me for a walk on the sidewalk (in my walker). I took off and walked 3 houses down and back...and I was wearing shoes! Shoes are funny, but it's better than scraping my toes (like I did yesterday). I had so much fun walking. Mommy is going to take a video of me walking tomorrow.

I guess I'll sleep in my bed...geez mommy!

Mommy kept saying, "When Aidan is 6 months, we'll make him sleep in his crib." Ha...that didn't happen. Then mommy said, "When Aidan is feeling better we'll put him in his crib." Well I just decided to stay sick for a while longer...I got tubes put in my ears! So then the day came...I am better! Uh-oh for me!

I remember the night very well...it was April 26th and I had woken up around 1:00am (in my crib). So mommy brought me in her bed...as usual (yay!). Well I guess I was a little restless...well not really restless, but having fun rolling around in mommy and daddy's bed and hitting mommy in the face (I like to do that when I'm trying to go to sleep). That's when it happened...mommy said, "I'M DONE!" She took me in my room and said, "I love you Aidan, but you have to sleep in your crib baby!" She laid me down and then sat in the rocking chair in my room. It was nice to see her there, but that didn't make me happy...i cried. I really put on a show for mommy that night. I cried on and off for 2 hours (putting my paci in every few minutes). Then I fell asleep and the next thing you know, it was Tuesday morning at 7am and mommy was getting me out of bed! That wasn't so bad.

Tuesday night I only cried for 30 minutes and then Wednesday night I didn't really fuss that much. Now mommy doesn't always come in my room and I'm ok with that. I usually can fall back asleep in a few minutes...unless i need a new diaper!

Mommy said that she's been getting so much sleep that now she feels groggy! Geez mommy, make up your mind..do you want to sleep or not??

Grandma visits!






Grandma came all the way from Daytona to visit me! I skipped school all week and hung out with her at mommy and daddy's house. We had so much fun! We all went to the zoo and I loved seeing all the animals. Mommy bought me a season pass, so now she says we can go all the time! YAY! I hope you enjoy my pictures!
