A Wicked Weekend

The weather this week has been wonderful - clear and high 60s / low 70s - and just in time! Aidan is moving so fast that we have to get outside so he can have a positive outlet for his energy. Aidan's energy is seemingly boundless: he could cruise and drag Mommy around the house all day - but it makes Mommy exhausted! This week Aidan has also been squeaking and screaching: also known as experimenting with sound, but in a way that quickly means going on walks near buses or other distractions! It's pretty amazing that such a little person can make such big noises!

On Wednesday, Aidan had his first picnic in the park: He played with his friend Grace and her dog, Bella, and then sat in his stroller and ate cheerios while watching buses go by. (What more could a baby ask for?)



On Thursday, his third tooth (top, middle-left) started peeking through. His other top one (middle-right) is on its way, and Mommy can't wait! Teething makes Aidan unhappy and full of stressed energy, which makes life difficult for everyone! Tylenol helps, but hopefully we'll have a break for just a little while soon.

On Saturday, Grandma and Grandpa Ruane babysat for Aidan while Mommy and Daddy went to go see Wicked on Broadway! It was our second Aidan-free date since his birth, and we had a wonderful time. Fortunately, Aidan also had a wonderful time with Grandma and Grandpa - they took long walks, watched lots of buses, dogs and people, played in the parks, and Aidan was only upset for a little while. (Yeah! Hopefully this will mean more dates for Mommy and Daddy.)
