March '10-2

Spring is in the air here in Connecticut and Aiden is gearing up for a summer of fun including playing in the lake. He has been practicing by playing in any water he can get near. Puddles, bath water, water in the sink and the lake (even though it was frozen over until recently). Here are some pictures of his antics.

March '10

Aiden continues to amaze us with how good he is with his new sister Maggie and what a good boy he is in general. He has been showing quite a sense of humor lately and is always making us laugh. We are very lucky to have such a great kid! Here are some recent photos.

Welcome Maggie Mae!

Aiden has a new sister and it is really amazing to see the character traits she brings out in him. Here are a few examples: the first night we brought Maggie home she was crying so Aiden ran into his room and tried to get the baby Tylenol that we gave to him when he was teething in order to give it to her. The next night he wasn't able to fall asleep so he made me bring him out of his room to give a kiss to the baby and to his mom and then he went right to sleep. Tonight we laid Maggie on the floor in her boppy and tried to get Aiden on the couch to read Goodnight Moon (which we do every night) and before he would get on the couch he brought a toy over to Maggie. He is such a sweet kid!! He always kisses the baby before going to bed without us even asking him to. I think he is going to be an incredible big brother to Maggie! On the developmental front, Aiden is starting to pick up a few words here and there. Today he said "dot" and "Nona". He'll be talking before we know it! He also has a sense of humor. Robin was asking him to point to some numbers in a book. She said "Where's the number 5?" and he pointed to it and then she said "Where's the number 7?" and Aiden started laughing and pointed at the number 10 and a few other numbers before pointing to the 7. We're pretty sure though that he knew the number 7 but was just playing with us. He certainly is entertaining!! Here are a few pictures.
