Aidan's First Halloween

Aidan's first Halloween; he was a bat....

Clap Your Hands

Thursday evening at the monthly LaLeche League meeting Aidan figured out how to clap.

Locomotion

Aidan scooted backwards across the living room this evening. He made it about four feet. We were told that he performed this same feat yesterday at school.

A New Game

A game has developed out of necessity. Aidan's nose has been runny (allergies? cold?) and we do our best to wipe his nose, so he doesn't have to eat too much mucus. But, of course, this causes some irritation on this face (just like blowing your nose a bunch of times causes a raw nose), so he complains as soon as you bring your hand anywhere near his face.

If you can throw a little towel over his head (thus covering his eyes), you can play "Where's Aidan?", which then allows you to wipe his nose while the towel's on his head.

But, the game has advanced: We now cover his head, and ask him, "Where's Aidan?" He then pulls the towel off of his head by himself. The next step was to put the towel on mom or dad's head and ask "Where's mom/dad?"

At first, he didn't do anything, but once we showed him how to pull the towel off of mom/dad's face, he quickly got the hang of it.

Aidan's First (Table) Meal

We gave Aidan his first food today. The menu consisted of sweet potatoes, delicately blended with water.

Well Checkup

Aidan had his six month well visit with his pediatrician today; he is 18 pounds 14 ounces and 27 inches (2 feet, 3 inches) tall.

Six Months Old

Aidan is six months old. He is also starting to treat mom and dad as though they were a jungle gym....
