Happy Two Months!

Aiden celebrated his two month birthday on February 19, 2009!  This is a belated post due to our trip to North Carolina, but here is a slideshow of pictures from Aiden's second month:  

     I can't believe how fast time flies and how much Aiden has developed in two months of life.  We love seeing all of the smiles of Aiden, especially when he first wakes up in the morning!  He loves to smile all day long-many people are amazed at his cute little smile with dimples.  

     Aiden continues to love so many different things, including his bouncer and swing which are still some of his favorite places to sit and sleep, besides Mommy and Daddy's laps!  Aiden took his first nap in his crib-where he slept like a champ!  He is starting to sleep longer stretches at night, allowing his mommy and daddy to regain their sanity!  Aiden loves bathtime and getting ready for bed.  He loves soaking in the warm water and doesn't cry anymore when he gets out of the bathtub now that his parents heat up his towel and pajamas before using them!  After a short feeding at night and being swaddled all tightly, Aiden falls right to sleep!  Aiden has a slight obsession with his MAM pacifiers and is glad that Mommy found him a clip to help keep it near him!

     He loves being read to and looking at his colorful books, especially his Dog Book.  He likes listening and dancing with music!  He loves to fall asleep in his stroller as we take our daily morning walks with Cobi and Sheffield...but always wakes up as soon as we get home and stop moving. Aiden also enjoys batting at toys in his playgym, looking at his monkey rattle, and his favorite things to do is look at his hands and feet!  He is tolerating tummy time better, especially when Mommy or Daddy put a blanket under him that helps him roll over.  Aiden got to see lots of different places this month, including his first out of state trip to New York to see Aunt Jen and Uncle Paul.  Uncle Paul did a fabulous job as Aiden's first babysitter-playing with him and putting him in the swing to sleep.     His two month birthday was celebrated with his first plane ride to North Carolina to see Grammy and Grandpa Ruff where he showed himself to be a fabulous traveler!  You also enjoy our daily outings that include trips to our favorite store, Target!  One of the joys of our Target trip is taking the elevator up and down to the different levels:)  

     Aiden is continuing to grow in his second month of life.  At his two month appointment, Aiden is now 23 inches (YEAH for the 50th percentile) and 9 pounds, 9 ounces (10th percentile)!
