Monthly Aidan


At nine months, Aidan:

-wears mostly 12mo clothes and size 3 diapers
-eats three solid meals each day, nurses twice a day, and has two bottles a day

-can roll over both ways
-babbles all day, and says dadadadadadadadada
-can clap and wave
-sleeps eleven hours each night, loosely swaddled with a lovey
-takes a good 2-hour morning nap each day, and sometimes takes a long afternoon nap
-loves to feed himself, including waffles, scrambled egg yolk, cheerios, and grapes
-thinks rough housing with his dad is the funniest thing EVER
-isn't too picky about what he eats. He's even started liking watermelon, much to Mom's chagrin
-is busting out of his "bucket" car seat. We keep putting off transferring him into his big boy car seats because of the cold weather
-thinks turning his crib aquarium on and off, on and off, on and off, is wildly entertaining

3/16/09: Aidan created his basketball bracket. Among the highlights were picking Cleveland State and Siena as surprise upsets. Unfortunately, he chose Northern Iowa as a Final Four team. We'll see if his championship pick comes true...totally unsolicited, he chose KANSAS. Smart boy.

We now return to our regularly scheduled programming...

So let's just say that technology and I have not been having a great relationship the last few weeks. My laptop crashed, and I had to tear it completely down and put everything back on it. Luckily, all of my pictures were saved, and I continued taking Daily Aidans during our hiatus. I'll use this week to catch up. Enjoy!

My new favorite website...

Aidan's First Haircut

Today was Aidan's first haircut. I loved his longer hair but it was time...his bangs were getting in his eyes!
I can't believe how much hair she cut off. Aidan was a really good sport and only fussed a little bit when she was messing with his face.
His hair looks a lot blonder now, and he looks SO much older!
