Daily Aidan


We have been reading to Aidan since before he was born, but he has really started to enjoy it recently. Currently, one of his favorite books is Look, Look!

I love reading Aidan this book, and it's really cool to see him develop his own rituals with it. For example, I can guarantee you he will laugh at the cover and first page. He'll enjoy the next few pages, then study the cat page for a long time. Once he moves onto the next page, which has fish on it, he whips right by it. No time for fish. Then the last page has stars and a moon on it and he always gets a big smile on his face. Then he'll close the book, turn it over, and do the sign for "more" and we'll read it again. This typically happens about half a dozen times at each sitting.

I am SO loving being his mom!

being in the tub makes Aidan happy. He's feeling okay today - but you can still see those swollen eyes:(

Fun stuff today: Aidan started giving high fives and cruised all the way around his activity table!

Monthly Aidan


Aidan is eleven months old today! We're on the countdown to his birthday...
Right now, Aidan:
-army crawls and rolls wherever he wants to go
-will eat anything we put in front of him
-claps, waves, and is the happiest baby ever
-plays with an empty water bottle in the car to keep him happy
-loves riding in shopping carts
-says hi, mama, dada, all done, and the occasional NO
-is still a great sleeper - with his lovey and a sleep sack

5/16: first kidney beans. Yum!

I heart Trumpette


In a previous post, I talked about my love for Trumpette Socks. Aidan has had more than his fair share, and when he outgrows them, they still look like the day I bought them.

Unfortunately, one of his new pairs started to fall apart after the first washing. I called the company and they said they would send me a replacement pair. They lied. THEY SENT ME A WHOLE NEW BOX! Unbelievable!

There are so many places that have horrible customer service, so I want to tell as many people as possible about my great experience. Next time you're looking for a baby gift, buy Trumpette socks!!!
