Dear Aidan,
These last 18 months have been the best months ever for Daddy and I! We love spending time with you each and every day...even on the days you wake us up at 5:00 a.m., eager to play trains! You have given Daddy and I so many new things to do on the weekends, like go to the playground, play trains and Little People, or just go for a walk! One of the best things you have given back to us recently is sleep! We LOVE that you now sleep through the night!
You make us laugh....and cry, but usually you are busy making us laugh! We love when you show us your muscles, play the air drums to Dave Matthews Band, say "ooooh" when we have told you what something is, speak gibberish to us (we know you are saying something!), and we do appreciate your love for trains.
You are talking more and more each day! We love to hear you say, "yeah" or "no" when asked if you want something. You can say so many words now, that it's difficult to count them all. We love that you always try to say what we are saying!
You are very helpful around the house to Daddy and I! When Daddy comes home, he loves it when you help him put his shoes back in the closet and his work clothes in the hamper (Mommy and Daddy can't even seem to put their clothes in the hamper themselves!). I love how when I get out the vacuum cleaner, you get out the broom and start sweeping the floor. You've almost got the sweeping part down! You always make sure I put the wipes container back on the table and you throw your diapers away for me! You also pick up stuff that does not belong on the floor and throw it away.
I love that you have been a trooper with your food allergies! You are a great eater, given that you don't have many great offerings to eat! You and I both LOVE spaghetti and I love that you can eat spaghetti or rice with a fork...independently! You always have amazed me with your ability to use a fork and a spoon. What amazes me more is that you now insist on having a napkin (or "nah-in" as you say) and that you use it appropriately and set it by your plate!
You are active, yet very attentive and I love your sweet personality. At times when I least expect it, you are patient. I love your attention to small details, yet your ability to see the big picture. You have a great sense of humor and everyone can see that within a few seconds of meeting you. Your smile can brighten anyone's day and I'm glad that you are here to brighten mine every day!
I can't believe you are already 18 months old and in 6 short months you will be 2! I hope you continue to grow and make us laugh each day. I hope you quickly outgrow your allergies. Most of all, I hope you know that Mommy and Daddy love you SOOOOO MUCH and we are so lucky to have such a wonderful little boy in our lives.
Love Mommy!
