Sitting Up

We are working on sitting up with little Aidan. His legs are so strong that he pushes himself over backwards constantly. He's almost there though. As long as we put a toy in front of him he's happy and will stay sitting for a few minutes. Our little guy is growin up so fast! Here is a picture I took a few minutes ago... he loves the piano Tracy gave him! Messy house but happy baby, I think that's a fair trade!

Half-Birthday

Tonight Anthony and I were singing Aidan a happy half birthday and as we got to the last verse he got that big pouty lip and looked like he was going to cry. It was the cutest thing ever. I mean, here we are singing a song and he gets upset! We tried again and as soon as we started he did it again. I went and grabbed the camera to snap a photo but by that time he was smiling.... of course!

Sleeping

I am so happy to let everyone know Aidan finally goes to sleep on his own! Well, just about. Since he was three weeks old I have been swaddling him and rocking him to sleep. For about 5 days now I have simply set him in his swing and he has fallen asleep!!! YAY! I am so excited. Now that he has learned to go to sleep without Mommy and without being swaddled our next step will be to move him back to his crib. One step at a time! It is so nice to not spend most of my day swaddling him and rocking him to sleep!!!

SSSOOOO BIG!

Oh my goodness, time is flying! Aidan is going to be 6 months old on Monday. Let me do the math for you, that's half a year old! He is getting so big. He just had his shots last week. He is a whopping 17 pounds and 26 inches long. I can't wait for those teeth to come through. He is quite the drooler. Crawling is right around the corner too! He rolls all over the place, this is his prefered mode of transportation. He scoot too. He pulls his legs up underneath him but not his arms yet. He also just figured out how to use his arms to push backwards!

Our little man is growing up so fast!
