Happy 7 Months!

Goodness, It feels like I just posted for his 6 months. Ughh time is really not generous on going slow these days. I LOVE this stage in his life right now, and Chris agrees! We love it because he is playing, jabbering, happy, and trying new things, BUT is not mobile yet. I am thankful because he's going to be a handful and on the go like his Daddy!! lol He had his first and second big snow at home and likes looking outside so I know summer will be fun! Aiden can say "hey or haa" and he says it  a LOT now. He is a BIG mama's boy right now and he is starting to understand when he doesn't recognize people. He actually likes playing on his stomach now, which we thought would never happen, and hasn't quite mastered sitting by him self on the floor yet mainly because he doesn't want to. He likes to kick his feet and legs so much (which I think I say in every post) so after he realizes he cant sitting he wants to be on his back or tummy kicking again!! I think we have a soccer player on our hands...

Here are a few more pictures from the past few weeks!

Happy 6 Months!!

Aiden,
How in the world has time passed so quickly? I spend every day with you but it just does not seem like enough time when I think of how soon you will be grown. This month has really made me sad b/c its the "half way to a year" month and that made me realize just how much I cherish these days! I thank God and your daddy everyday for the opportunity to stay home since right before you were born! I am glad I haven't missed a moment and hope I can continue to do this until you start school - Lord willing! You are sooooo fun now, your dad and I both wish we could stop you at this age just a little while longer. You laugh, smile, hug and kiss us, jabber, play, sleep pretty good, are on a schedule, and trying new things now but still not mobile so we like it the best! I favor it because once you do move I will worn smooth out again as you wont ever stop going I can tell already. You STILL kick your legs like crazy - you get so happy by laughing and kicking. I swear you say "Ha" as in Hey since we both say it to you very often when we come in the room or look at you, but when you cry you make a "ma" noise in there every time if we don't come see whats wrong right away. Its like you add that in calling me to come get you!! You had your first Christmas; although, you didn't realize what was happening you were cute sitting there helping us open presents and being so curious with all the commotion at the gatherings! The 6 month check up went great, all looked good, and you weighed 13lbs 8oz and was 25.5 inches. Geez baby you are going to be petite like me I guess! You are finally going into a couple 3-6M body suits from certain places but most are still plain 3M. Your hair is filling in pretty good and its so cute on top cause it sticks up from your head! You've tried all the first foods and like them all so maybe you won't end up a picky eater. Now its on to the next stage and we just let you try juice in the Nuby stage 2 cup (mix between a bottle and sippy cup) which you didn't like at first but a week later you like the organic apple juice...water is still a not so much!! ha Well you just had your second vacation since birth! At 11 wks you spent a week in Florida and now we are in Illinois!! Its snowing so you get your first snow too :) How many babies can say they've been to Destin, Panama City Beach, and Chicago by 6 months!!! I pray we can keep this up for you too. You are still mommies little photography subject and I love taking pictures of you cause I think you're the cutest thing ever!! That smile lights my day and your little grin, bright eyes, and finger stuck in the side of your mouth is too cute. I also have to say you are such a mommies boy!! We love you Ada Boo!!
