Aidan 9 Months

Since Aidan is almost 10 months now, I thought I would update for his 9 month check up stats. At his check up, he weighed 20lbs 1oz and was 28 1/2 inches long. He is crawling everywhere, pulling up on everything and is beginning to walk. If I could enter him in a crawling contest, I would because he is the fastest crawler I think I have ever seen. He is always into something and is all over the place. He started taking a couple of steps about a month ago and is starting to walk more. He doesn't say many words. He has his b sound down and said ball the other day. I think he tries to say bye bye when we leave because he usually says bbb bbb. He has all four of his bottom teeth in and is getting his top four teeth in (three broke through at the same time, so we had a very fussy baby for a while.) Aidan is a really laid back and easy going baby. Although, he does have a little temper when he can't get what he want or he loses his patience. He loves to watch tv (very different than Avery at his age). He is defintely all boy and loves to play ball or bang toys on the tile to make noise. He also thinks it is so funny to be told "no, no". I'll follow him into a room to find him standing up by the wall outlet looking for me to come tell him no. He is also a very snuggly, loving baby and loves to hug or snuggle. Here are some pictures of our big boy.

Avery's First Fieldtrip

Avery and I went to the pumpkin patch today for her first fieldtrip with her preschool class. She was so excited and could barely decide on a pumpkin to pick. Avery rode with me and we followed the bus there. The entire time she was asking me where the bus was, could I see the bus, did we lose the bus and were we there yet. Next time, I think she may just ride the bus.

Aidan Walking

Aidan has been walking everywhere recently. As you can see, he also loves to take Mickey along with him. Lauren gave Avery the Mickey Mouse for her birthday but Aidan loves it! He can't pass Mickey without hugging it and gets so excited when he sees it. Avery is usually pretty nice about sharing Mickey but we may have to get Aidan is own Mickey to snuggle and slobber on.

Avery The Duck

Avery dressed up as a duck for preschool today for farmers and farm animals day. She loved the costume (Aidan did too, he loved to tackle and hug the fluffy costume) and ended up wearing it all day. We were making duck jokes all day like: How does a duck sneeze? Aaahh quack! She insisted on wearing the paws over her hands for most of the day and tried to eat her afternoon snack that way. I started calling her a diva duck when she asked me to come into the bathroom and get the toilet paper off of the roll for her because she couldn't with her duck hands on.
