Things finally started to settle down this week after a lot of crazyness. Daddy got home from his 2-week Bangladesh/India trip on Tuesday night, and it was wonderful for Mommy to see how thrilled Daddy and Aidan were to see each other on Wednesday morning! We all spent a couple of days transitioning into normal life again (Daddy had to get over a 10 hour time change!), and we all loved being together again.
On Sunday, we co-hosted a "first birthday party" for Aidan and his friend Jake for all of our neighborhood friends, and Aidan chowed down on multiple slices of fresh juicy watermellon, - yum! - he liked them even better than birthday cupcakes! It is amazing to see the babies crawling and toddling all over the place - they are so much bigger and more developed than they were when our "new mom's group" first met last September!
Mommy's favorite thing that Aidan is doing this week is that he is starting to "babble" in sign language! He goes through rounds of evolving signs, like "hi- all done - more - hi" - he definitely understands that we understand signs (or some of them!) and is excited about using signs to communicate. Mommy is determined to learn more so that she can teach Aidan and we can have more developed conversations! This week, she's mastered "bus" and "truck" (thanks to Grandma Ross's tutelage last week!), and she wants to learn "window" and "light" next (Aidan points them out every single morning).
Random note: Mommy thinks it is absolutely adorable the way Aidan sleeps. He passes out and then turns on his side and puts his arms and feet up on whatever he can - pillows, blankets, Mommy or Daddy - and if he doesn't find something to put his arms and legs up on, he will creep or crawl in his sleep across the bed until he finds something that he can put his arms and legs up against! So precious!
