Big City Baby

This week Aidan is getting incredibly close to rolling over! He swings one leg over the other one so that it touches the floor and arches his back around, but can't quite get over his arms, which are usually in front of him because of his fingers (which are stuffed in his mouth). On Tuesday, he turned so he was lying completely on his side on the changing table, but didn't push any further. We are looking forward to the complete turn sometime soon! Recently, Alex has also discovered that he can give Aidan toys, and Aidan will grab them and hold on to them. He loves grabbing rainbow colored cups in the tub and his "itsy-bitsy spider" toy on his play gym. He can even stop the spider from inching back up its elasticized web -- talk about strength and eye-hand-coordination! Aidan has also been having fun "flying" with Daddy around the house - body horizontal to the ground, head forward, and tiny face shining with excitement. We are having a lot of fun playing together!

Our big adventure this week was having our friends Julia and Wayne come to visit from Los Angeles. We all tramped around the big City, and Aidan had his first taxi ride and first visit to Rockefeller Center, Ground Zero and FAO Schwarz. We also checked out Central Park and Time Square again, ate at Ray's Pizza on Lexington and got a good walking workout! It was wonderful to visit with Julia and Wayne, and Aidan was fantastic- he talked to the people and lights, slept in the Ergo carrier, and nursed all over the place without getting too distracted. We had a great time!
