Aidan and Danny

Chris, Ashley, and Danny cam to visit yesterday. Aidan was so funny. He followed Danny around and wanted to play with whatever toy Danny had. We will have to work on sharing. Aidan has never spent so much time with anyone his own age. We had a great afternoon laughing and taking pictures.

Aidan's wish list

Aidan already has a list of things he wants for his birthday.... Actually it's Dads list.
At the Library down the street there is this cool maze toy that Aidan loves and will play with for hours if we let him. Ben thinks it's really cool too and wants to make one for our house.
So here are the pictures of it. G-Pop I think you might end up involved in this somehow... (Smile)

We got Aidan a new cup a few days ago. He figured out how to drink from it so fast. He was having troulbe with hisold one. Now he's a pro. Aidan has been fuusy this week--- cause he's been cutting his two top front teeth! Yippee now we can see them and he's feeling better-- and sleeping better.

He got a new handmade sweater this weekend and can't wait to grow into it! Thanks Caroline. He has a new swing gate which Mom and Dad love.

Tuesday he had his first Gym and Swim class at the YMCA. He loved it. He is the younget in his class...appearently only moms of two year old boys sign up for these things. (there were 2 girls-- so I should generalize...) Aidan loves the water and splashed and kicked. He can now climb out of the pool "by himself" we think we just taught him how to get out of the tub...

Happy four weeks old to Cecely this friday!

A Visit to Grammy's house

What fun we had on sunday. Grammy has a new toy...and the kitty down there doesn't run away. Aidan had fun "playing" with the cat, the car, and his G's.
We also visited Grandma Schneider. She really watched Aidan and he loved her purple pants. All the residents smiled at Aidan-- and he smiled right back. He is such a socal little thing.
The pictures of Uncle Ben are from his choir concert. I didn't get to go--long drive and no sitter. :( Maybe next time.....

New Foods

We have found a food Aidan doesn't like. Lima beans. This is the first time that Aidan has refused a food. He tried so hard to like them too. We will see if he likes them mixed with other veggies later.
Ben and I think it's funny 'cause we both hate limas. We gave him lima beans because we didn't want to only give him things we like. We got some great pictures of his non-liking of lima beans.

I am feeling much better today. That cold was not fun! Aidan had a little case of the sniffles over the weekend- Mommy of course got the yucky sinus infection.
We went to the doctor's today. Aidan is doing well. No shots this time.
After the doctor we stoped by the Pet shop (It's much closer than the zoo) and Aidan said "Hi" to all the puppies. They had a westie puppy who looked just like Molly did. (and probalby was sick too) Aidan really liked the fish. We keep talking about getting a fish tank...maybe next year. (Like I really need another animal in my house.The whole reason we were at the pet store was to buy crickets for the lizard--yes we have a lizard....)



Aidan has been a joy this month. He has gotten over the frustersation of not being able to get around. Now he can crawl and stand up. He even "walks" behind his tonka truck. He has been all smiles and giggles. He continues to feed himself anything I give him. He is eating protein in the form of chicken, fish, and tofu. Ben says he can't figure out where Aidan got his taste for meat... :)


Aidan's love affair with the cats continues. He had me in stiches today as he chased after and caught the cats. Mao, I think has resigned himself to the attention. He purrs as Aidan tugs on his fur. Aidan also loves to climb. He gets onto the dishwasher and today climbed onto his walker.



A big Happy Birthday to Ceceliy Rose Bennedict. Meghan and Geoff greeted thier bundle of girl (suprise) on Friday the 1st. She is 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. Mom and Baby are doing fine. I can't wait to see them. It's such a long drive from here to Pittsburg though.

I have started to search for fridge magnets for the Bug. He loves to eat the ones I have now. I am looking for letters, or animals-- something baby friendly. Walmart, Target, and T"r" Us don't have any. Does anyone have any ideas?
