Happy Fourteen Months!


Happy Belated 14 Months Aiden!! We have had a really busy month and have LOVED every single moment with our little man. Here are some highlights from the past month:

Aiden is busy, busy busy!!! He is walking all over the place, often with some random object in his hand...a phone, book, piece of trash, etc. We spent a week in North Carolina with my family. Aiden was a great travel buddy and this has been the easiest time to travel with him yet. He loved spending time with his Grammy, Grandpa, and Great-Grandma:) Aiden also had a special visit from G and G Rogers:) Thanks for to both of our families!

Aiden has learned how to drink from a straw and is obsessed with anything that his mama is drinking....which this month means he has had his share of sweet tea! His favorite foods are bananas (especially when he gets to hold the WHOLE banana and shove it all into his mouth) and ANY fruit, goldfish, eggs, and cheese.

Some of his favorite toys (besides electronics) are: corn popper and other pushing toys, mini-kitchen, books!, Mr. Monster, riding toys, and Tupperware/other kitchen gadgets! I think this kid might be a chef when he grows up for how much time he could spend playing in the kitchen...

He loves to listen to music, especially his Wee Sing cds. He pulls a cd out, walks it towards the stereo, and even knows how to help put it in order to listen to music!!

He understands so much of what we say and follows directions often-gets specific books (his favorites are Pooh, lift-the-flap, Tickle Monster, and Go Dog Go!), brings us things, heads towards his room when it is diaper changing time, etc. It's awesome to see this development day to day. Most of our days are spent playing around the house, playing telephone, running errands, library storytimes, playdates with friends, taking the dogs out to play when it's somewhat warm out, and keeping Aiden entertained!!! He loves to meet new people and running around stores when you let him out of the stroller:)

He LOVES his bath time after dinner. We race towards the bathroom first to brush his teeth-he loves his toothbrush so much that sometimes he can't even part with it when he gets into the bathtub). Next, we pick out toys for his bath. His favorite toys right now are his squirters...he loves filling them up over and over again. His favorite part of the bath is when we let the water go down. He races back and forth across the bathtub running away from our hands to take him out. Once he is dried off, he loves to help rub in his lotion and comb his hair! So cute:)


Aiden's newest word is "Up" which he will say when he wants to join us on the couch or walking up the stairs-so cute:) He also has added to sign language-his new signs are "milk", "please" and "bath". He also throws his arms up in the air when asked "How Big is Aiden?" He nods his head "yes" and "no" when asks questions. He loves to wave bye-bye to people and give high fives! Here is a video of him signing please:

I can't wait to see what another month brings! Happy 14 Months my precious boy:)

Great update! Yes, it has been a busy month and it is amazing to see Aiden's change and development. He should be ready for Little League by summertime.

What a cutie! Enjoyed the I-chat today. Can't wait to get the cousins together sometime as it will be fun to watch them play.

P.S. What is with the beer bottle on his toy bookcase?
