Happy half birthday Aiden! You are well on your way to becoming our big little boy. We don't have a doctor's appointment until next week to compare stats, but I think you may be close to around 18 pounds. You love to smile and lots of people have been commenting on what a happy baby you are (little do they know that is just because you are being held by mommy or daddy all the time). The ladies at daycare are still trying hard to get you to take a bottle, but you eat baby food well so that is what you have most of the day and then nurse most of the night. So that means still not sleeping thru the night but you are working on it. You love laughing at Aubrey and she loves to entertain you. You are getting so close to sitting up by yourself and can do it for a couple of seconds before tipping over. You like to jump in your jumperoo and watch the doggies. You make lots of noises and like talking to yourself in the morning when you first wake up. Unfortunately, you have also been our sick little baby for the past month with ear infections and a chest cold which you needed an inhaler for for wheezing, but you take it like a champ and are barely fussy. The doctors called you a happy wheezer but all you did was smile for them! We love you more and more each day - if that is even possible - and want time to slow down so we can enjoy these stages as long as we can.
You and mommy have had lots of "mommmy and me" time recently. We have enjoyed trips to daddy's rugby games and we even took a trip to Michigan for Lucas' baptism with grandma and grandpa while daddy and Aubrey stayed home. You had lots of fun playing with mommy in the car, sleeping with mommy in a hotel, and playing with cousin Lucas. Mommy and daddy were Lucas' sponsors and here is a picture from the day.
