Playtime!

Finally We Can Post to our Blog!

Sorry for the really delayed posts! Our computer was not working due to a horrible virus that Felicia downloaded. Yeah, not fun! So we had no access to our pictures. But everything's okay now so lots of pictures will be posted soon! Main message to all: BACK UP EVERYTHING!! =)

Aidan's almost 4 months old (will be 4 months on 11/24/09) and he's so fun! He is a chatterbox, especially when he's sitting in his throne aka the bouncer seat, and he's super loud now. He's been trying to roll from tummy up to tummy down but hasn't been successful. He continues to kick like a madman and has adopted a new habit: kicking his legs out straight while we're changing his diaper! So we have to distract him somehow: whistling, singing... We've found out that he's a little bit ticklish - he laughs when we wipe underneath his neck with a baby wipe. And yes he really does laugh like us! His favorite toy? His hands still! He's finally noticing that they are hands and has been batting at things but not consistently. Finally he's a true Leo: if we don't pay attention to him, he gives a really loud "yell" - more like "ack" to get our attention!

Play Date with Auntie Sheri and Bella

We visited Auntie Sheri and Bella for the day for a "play" date. LOL, more like - Mommies' having lunch (excellent lunch, by the way, Sheri!) and the babies just chilling date! Here are some pictures from our day out.

Close-up of Bella crying... still so cute!

Awww, she's yawning! Who's tired?

Uh oh....



LOL, Bella's looking at Aidan and wondering why he's crying!

Proof that Aidan isn't always an angel! Bella's like, "Mommy, why is he still crying?"

Two little babies in a good mood finally (well, semi-good for Aidan!)

What a cutie!

Fun with Auntie Shelle

What a Smart Baby!

Oh my gosh! Aidan's had a fantastic day of achievements today! First of all, he was able to lift his head completely off Ryan's lap for at least 10 seconds and for more than one time! And his head was in midline! That's amazing for a baby who was sucking on his hand and pillow just yesterday! Then he figured out how to drink from a bottle and didn't even fuss at all! It took Ryan one week to retrain Aidan and he just GOT it all of a sudden! Amazing! I swear he's just the smartest baby ever (but I'm sure it's cuz I'm his mommy and am totally biased! But I don't care! I still believe it!). So YAY for Aidan!

Fun Times for Aidan

NOT SO HAPPY HERE

LOL, Ryan wanted to put on Aidan's first hat - his stocking cap from the hospital. As you can see, the experiment went really well! LOL! But we tried it again later and he was fine. Boy was the hat stretched out though. Definitive proof of how much our baby boy has grown in the past 9 weeks!

TUMMY TIME

We're still working on his head and upper back control. Yeah, yeah, it's the PT in Mommy. Superman is definitely more successful than plain old lying on the belly!

BATH TIME

Aidan loves taking baths from day one. In fact, he even loves to drink the water and eat the soap while taking a bath! Haha... But his favorite part is definitely when we dry him off and massage him with baby lotion. He coos and laughs the whole time.

Visitors!

Aidan loves being around other people and loves visitors! Whenever we have guests, he's the most well-behaved baby. Isn't that the case for all babies?! =)
