Just out for a drive....

Checking his blind spot

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Aiden just realized tonight that he can finally stick his tongue out.....after 6 months, it is kind of weird to see that it's not attached anymore!

Surgery Day

Aiden had surgery today and did wonderful! He had a frenulectomy because he was "tongue-tied" and the procedure only took about 8 minutes. He didn't even have to get an IV, they just used gases through a mask for him to fall asleep. He only cried until I got his bottle out and when he finished it, he was laughing and smiling just like nothing happened.

This is one of the best before pictures that I could find. His tongue is attached at the tip and that is why it kind of looks heart shaped.

*Thanks to all of the staff at The Surgery Center of Lancaster for taking such wonderful care of Aiden!

Pictures

Just a bunch of pictures today......

New toy

Since Aiden loved the playground swings so much, we decided to get him a doorway jumper. He likes it (not quite as much as the swings outside and I don't blame him) and it's great while it is still cool outside.

He likes to reach for the wall and his new kicks give him the traction he needs!

68 Degrees!

Today we had gorgeous weather and decided to go to the park. We tried Aiden in the little kid swings and he had a blast. He just laughed and "people watched" the entire time.....so fun!

Can you tell he is having fun?

Thursday

I keep trying to think of different places to take Aiden's picture and today I thought the stairs would be kind of cool. He is getting a lot better with controlling his upper body, but he still can't quite sit on his own.

6 months

Well it's been about 2 weeks since I last posted and in that time Aiden and I have both recovered from a stomach virus and he had his 6 month check-up and shots. He is 27 inches long (75th percentile) and 14 pounds 14 ounces (10th percentile). He makes us laugh a lot with his silly little personality, and Brian was nice enough to get me a Flip video camera so I can capture him on film. As soon as I learn how to edit and post videos I will (it could be awhile though!).
