HE CRAWLED!

Our baby is growing up (sad face), he finally crawled last night. It was only a couple of shuffles, but he was able to get the hands and knees working together to make some forward progress. As soon as I can get it on video I'll post it.

In other news, I have another cousin. My uncle and his new wife just had a little girl about 30 minutes ago! Congrats Uncle Pat!

Daddy's new ride

Chandler got a new car today and he is so happy! He got himself a 2007 Lexus ES350, pretty sweet! Aiden and I are excited to go cruising in it!

Little Swimmer

Our little fish has been spending his weekends in the pool, so we thought it would be a good idea to sign him up for swim lessons. He started Saturday and is doing well. We are teaching him to float on his back, get his face wet, hold on to the sides of the pool, and even go under water. He is in the class with 4 other babies from 7 months to 20 months. We really like learning how to play with him in the pool and to make him more aware of what to do in the water. We sing songs with the swim teacher and he even gets to go on a slide. By the end of the summer, he should be able to go under for up to 8-10 seconds. He will be such a little fish by then!


Back at home we practice our swim lessons and then follow it up with a little sun bathing...its really just for pictures, he doesn't need a tan just yet!

Standing Tall

Aiden loves to bounce in our laps before bed. He holds on to your hands and just bounces like crazy, laughing all the way. I can't get enough of his funny little laugh.

Well, all this bouncing has turned into standing. If you hold his hands, he will put his feet down and push himself into standing. He is soooooo proud of himself, its priceless. I almost think he will walk before crawling. Right now he only gets up on all fours and rocks or lunges out to move forward. He gets that the knees need to move, but the hands moving in conjunction is still a foreign concept. Oh well, it just means he is still out little baby boy.

A round of applause please

That is right, Aiden can clap his hands now. His dad has been teaching him to clap and he finally copied him yesterday. Dad claps and then Aiden claps. Sometimes Aiden will clap and look at you to copy him. It's really funny. We can't wait to show his teachers because then he can clap with his friends when Mr. Shepard comes to play music for the class. The babies are so cute when they listen to him playing guitar.

Our little planner

Aiden visited his dad at work today. We had lunch with Casey & Michelle, it was fun. Then Dad and Aiden played at his desk. He helped daddy write a plan and made lost of financial recommendations. All he needs is a financial calculator and he will be set! A little CFP in the making.

Second Tooth

I can't get a picture of them, but they do exist. Aiden now has TWO teeth and the drool is unbelievable. I believe the average human produces approximately one gallon of saliva per day, if that is the case then babies must produce 2 or 3 gallons. His chest is soaked with drool all the time and mom is doing 2 loads of laundry a week...just for Aiden! He looks so cute though when he gets that big smile and you can see those two little teeth peeking out. His dad will turn him upside down to make him laugh and that is how he shows off his new chompers. Its pretty cute.
