Happy Ten Months!

Happy Belated Ten Months, Little Bug!! Here are some updates from the 10th month of our little boy's life":
Aiden continues to bring joy and life to those around him. He loves to smile and laugh at lots of things-and what a cute laugh he has! He loves to give smiles, bat his eyes, and do whatever he needs to do in order to get attention while we are out and about!!!
Aiden has become more of a little chatterbox this month. At times, he is very quiet and at other times, he babbles like crazy, making lots of new and interesting sounds. He often points and talk about things-I can't wait to hear words so we know what his silly thoughts are!
The second tooth came in this month...and what a cute smile two teeth make:)
Aiden loves, loves, loves to play!! He is especially fond of his Cozy Coupe, as you see in SO many of our pictures. He just climbs in and out all day long:) He also LOVES electronic things-remotes, phones, stereo, etc...anything with buttons and he gets mad if you remove them from his hands. Other toys that he is enjoying as of now are his slinky, books, activity box, blocks, and stacking stars!
Aiden was dedicated this month at our church here in Connecticut. We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Rogers here to help celebrate this special occasion in his life. While they were here, Aiden also took his first trip to the zoo!
We enjoyed Aiden's first trip to the pumpkin patch!
Aiden just recently started to clap...and it's one of the most adorable things to see in the entire world. He first started clapping at bedtime while we sat in his rocking chair listening to a few lullabies before bedtime. Now, he does it during the day and every once in awhile, he will even clap when we sing If You're Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands!
We had a visit from Grandpa Ruff which included another hiking trip for our little man. We are so glad that he loves to ride in the Baby Bjorn and will be sad when he finally outgrows the thing!
Aiden is one CRAZY boy when we go out to dinner-I don't know what it is but Aiden + Restaurants= Chaos! He won't sit in the highchairs they provide, he stands and reaches for food and does anything one shouldn't:) It's like a big wrestling match...hence we eat out less and less!!!
Aiden loves when his Daddy finally comes home:) It's so cute to see Aiden crawl over to the gate to welcome Daddy!
We still have a picky eater on our hand-thank goodness for fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, and oatmeal. We are trying to branch out and offer him more foods that we eat, including toast, spaghetti, and anything else that can be broken into small pieces for the little man. Now if only he would eat all that was offered...
Aiden LOVES bathtime-his favorite things to do are playing peek-a-boo with the washcloth and playing with our little bucket cups. He either tries to drink the bathwater (Yuck!) or puts it up to his mouth and makes silly noises in them. It's pretty funny!
We still have a boy who loves to get up early-it will be interesting to see what happens during the time change! Aiden also takes two naps during the day, which helps keep his mom sane!
Aiden's days are filled with lots of playtime, naps, errands, eating, jogs in the stroller, helping take care of the puppies, trying to get together with friends, and being loved by his mommy and daddy!!!
Happy Ten Months Aiden...We Love You!
