Aidan has been learning lots of new things lately! The most exciting thing this week is that he is already creeping!!! On Thursday he pulled himself up to stand using one of our chair's foot rests, reached across to the coffee table, and used the coffee table to keep his balance as he walked over to the TV! (Check out the amazing video!) Mommy and Daddy can't believe it. It looks like Aidan is going to walk soon!!!In other exciting news, we think that Aidan is starting to use signs! He is definitely clapping when he he happy or excited, he has a very assertive "all done" sign which he uses to mean "stop" as well, and he uses the "more" sign sometimes when he wants more and sometimes when he wants some bottle at mealtimes. It is amazing!
In terms of eating, Mommy has given up introducing one food at a time to Aidan, and it is now a food free-for-all! Grandma Ruane gave him cheerios for the first time in CA last week, and he **LOVES** them. For a couple of days he wouldn't eat anything unless cheerios were on the side! At this point, he has eaten meats in babyfood (chicken, turkey), veggies (carrots, squash, corn, spinach, peas,) starches (potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, oatmeal, barley), tons of fruits (pears, apples, apricots, bannanas, blueberries, plums, prunes), and various crackers (Zwieback cookies, Mum-mums, cheerios). We have done both baby food and milled regular food, and a little bit of unmilled stuff (cheerios and bananas). Aidan loves feeding himself cheerios and crackers and banana mush, although the bananas get stuck all over him! Eating is a lot of fun. We're going to do more finger food soon!
