Beautiful Weather, Beautiful Food, and Trouble

We've had some wonderful weather lately. With my mommy's recent diagnosis of severe vitamin D deficiency we've been spending as much time outdoors as possible. Luckily, we have a wonderful pond by the wonderful Panera Bread where we can go and feed the duckies, geese, beaver and giant fish. And we always have lots of bread that got forgotten and has gone stale to use.


Baby Aiden Wishing He Was Feeding the Duckies Too

And then there's the exciting news of baby Aiden graduating to a harness booster (just like mine) and eating at the table with the rest of us. He is also eating more stuff in little pieces and having a blast with all the new foods. If you are wondering, he is now in a booster like mine because he hated having the tray of the high chair constrict him and he felt like he was being left out when he didn't get to sit at the table with us.


Look at All This Beautiful Food


And this next stuff happened when I was at preschool. Mommy has Aiden's clothes in a pop-up bin downstairs so that she doesn't have to run upstairs every time he spits up (which is still quite a bit, especially considering he is 9 months old in 2 days). And baby Aiden has developed this annoying new habit of getting into it and making a mess of all the nicely folded clothes. Also, he is very into pulling on the cord that powers the TV. NOT GOOD! Must come up with a solution for that one.

Aiden = Trouble

Food and Good Friends

Baby Aiden has been eating solids for a while. He has also been eating little pieces of 'real' food in spite of not having any teeth yet.

A few weeks ago we also had a visit from my mommy's close friends Molly & John and their baby girl Sara. Sara is two months and 5 days older than our baby Aiden. She is the cutest baby girl ever. She is sweet and beautiful and smart and wonderful. Aiden and Sara really hit it off and my mommy was so excited to see her old friends that she never gets to see anymore because they live in Denver.

There's only one picture of baby Sara but several videos

We're really hoping to go visit them in Denver when me and Aiden are a bit older.
