Aiden at 6 months

Aiden,

Seriously, little one?  How have you grown so fast?  This month has brought a lot of changes to your little life.  You've mastered rolling around and have decided that crawling is the new goal, which you are very close to getting.  It's so cute seeing your little bum rock back and forth as you try to get your legs to do what you want them to.  This month you've tried peaches, applesauce, oatmeal, bananas and pears.  You're a little more picky than Patrick and only liked the peaches and applesauce but we'll keep trying to get you to eat more things.  I still haven't completely jumped into giving you solids every day since I still think of you as a little baby but you're starting to lose your patience.  You love nursing or drinking from a bottle but every time you see us eating from a plate, you know that's what you really want.

Thank you Aubree(Spellbound Photography) for doing our pictures!

You are still the happiest baby I know.  You love to smile, laugh and babble!  You are talking all. the. time. and have started saying mamama and dadada.  Whenever I point to myself and say mama you think it's the greatest thing and laugh every time.  Soo cute.  You also think your brother is the greatest and laugh at him all the time.  The only time you get upset with him is when he doesn't share his toys.  You used to be happy sucking on whatever we gave you but lately you have wanted specific toys and when Patrick takes them, you get the cutest little pouty face and start crying.  

You're a great little sleeper, sleeping around 10-12 hours a night before you wake me up for food.  Naps depend on how crazy our day is, but when we're home you take 2 naps that are between 1 1/2 hrs 2 hrs. each.  Sometimes more.  There have been a few nights this hasn't been the case because I think you've started teething but overall, you are really good to your mom.

Aiden, I really don't know how to put into words how much you mean to us.  We love you and your brother more than we can express.  You brighten our days and add something to our family that we didn't know was missing until you joined us.  We love you.  Oh, I cannot say how much we love you.  Happy 6 months, little man.
