Aidan has seemed to take notice of the cat for the first time. He will look for where her meows are coming from and will watch her move around the house....

Aidan Update
Aidan started to scoot forward (just a wee-little bit, but forward nonetheless) on his tummy to get closer to one of his new toys. He is also able to figure out how to put one of his more complicated teething toys into his mouth, although this only works sometimes and he is best at it with his left hand.

The Model Family
A photographer from La Leche League came over to the house for a photo shoot of the family; we'll possibly be included in a future LLL publication.

Matthew Knee Update
Three months after the surgery, the doctor prescribed a new knee brace for Matthew, which he can wear while being active. The doctor encouraged him to try shooting baskets, try running with 20 degree changes of direction (which will be eventually increased to 90 degree turns), shuttle relays, etc. However, Matthew is not allowed to do any of these activities without the knee brace (which hasn't arrived yet) and he's not allowed to actually play basketball or compete in any "real" activities, but at least he can shoot some hoops....

Aidan Update
Aidan turned over from his back to his tummy twice this morning (although once he got his arm stuck under him and he couldn't complete the turn).

Aidan meets his great-grandmother
Aidan meets his great-grandmother for the very first time. Renee developed laryngitis and wasn't feeling particularly great, but the visit turned out to be a grand success.

Aidan Update
Aidan is sucking in his lower lip and then blowing out, making his version of "blowing raspberries." Very cute.
