I am really on the move now!

So for the past couple of weeks, I have been working on perfecting my walking skills. For about a month, I have been able to stand up in the middle of the floor, but not go anywhere. On September 3rd (the day after my birthday), I took 2 steps for my first time ever. Over the past couple of weeks,I have taken as many as 12 steps in a row...maybe a little more than that.

When mommy picked me up from school today, my teacher told her that I was walking back and forth to my teachers. I have done some of that with Mommy and Daddy too. Mommy brought me home from school today and I have to admit, I was a little bit grumpy and tired. Then Daddy came home and I perked up some. That's when I decided to show them what I could do! I stood up in the kitchen (like I always do), then I walked all the way to the front door (about 40 Aidan steps). Mommy and Daddy clapped for me....they seemed very excited. So I just decided from then on that I would just walk around the house. I walked back and forth all over the place. When I would fall down, you know what I would do? Get up and start walking again. Walking is fun and I am very proud of myself. I can't wait to show all my friends at school tomorrow!!!

The only bad thing about walking is, you get boo boos. I already got one today! Can ya believe it? I fell down outside and scraped my knee...it didn't hurt and I didn't cry, but it was bleeding a little bit. I'm sure Mommy will take a picture of it tomorrow.

We went for a walk tonight, but I didn't want to walk, I wanted to ride my tricycle. When we got back I was too pooped to let Mommy video me walking around. I'm sure she'll break out the camera tomorrow!

Catch ya later guys! Pretty soon, you won't be able to catch me! :)



Say goodbye to my cute bear walk and hello to walking on 2 feet!

Sesame Street LIVE!

On Saturday I went with Mommy, Daddy, my friend Evan, and his parents to see Sesame Street Live. We got to ride the MARTA train down there! I don't actually watch Sesame Street, but I had a BLAST! I was so amazed at all the furry people on stage! My friend Evan LOVES Elmo, but he fell asleep during the show!!! Good thing he woke up after intermission, because Elmo came out and did Elmo's world! Mommy was excited because Mr. Noodle was there! He's a goofy guy who can't do anything right! The best part of the whole show was intermission! I got a $10 Elmo balloon and some cotton candy! YUMMY!!! I heard Mommy and Daddy saying that this balloon better last a long time....I'm not sure what the big deal is. :) Evan and I were so good! We sat the whole time and watched the show! I can't wait to go to my next concert!


Daddy was holding me up so I could see better!


I was amazed at all the lights and furry things.



WOW! I love balloons and this guy had A LOT of balloons!!! Mommy and Daddy bought me one...they were only $10! :)


It's The Count...apparently he likes counting and my Daddy likes him a lot!



There's Elmo!


It's Mr. Noodle...the goofy guy. I heard Mommy say that her friends at work would never believe she saw the real Mr. Noodle!!


Now here is someone I can relate to! The Cookie Monster...him and I like the SAME THING!

After the show, we went to a place called "Hard Rock Cafe." We almost went to Hooters...maybe next time! On our ride home on the MARTA train, I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were at home and Evan had come over to play at my house! Our parents were watching football and Evan and I had so much fun chasing each other around, giving each other high fives, and sitting on my Spider Man couch. Mommy and Evan's mommy Jennifer took us for a ride in my wagon! I've never had a friend in my wagon before! It was hot, but we had fun!

Mommy thought I would probably sleep really well...after the long day I had, but boy was she WRONG again! Hahahahahaha! Maybe I'll let her sleep all night soon. :)


Evan and I were having so much fun...can't you tell???
I'm showing Evan how we play spoons at my house...he was pretty good!

We had so much fun sitting on my Spiderman couch together! Mommy and Evan's mommy kept trying to get our picture...they thought we might look at that red ball for a picture...they were right! :)


All done with these pictures ladies...I'm off to find my spoons...c'mon Evan! AHHHHHHH!
