Better late than never

Where has the time gone? I blinked and my baby is now a rambunctious, charming, sneaky, silly toddler, and we have number 2 on the way! Where has the time gone? These days Aiden is learning and doing new things every day, and I don't want to forget any of them! Also, it is so hard to be away from a large chunk of our friends and family, and I hope to keep everyone updated with this blog.

There are a few things that happened this week that inspired me to start writing things down. A few days ago, Aiden and I were reading a book from Jean and Alina, the Dr. Seuss ABC's. I will point out words and pictures and he will say the ones he knows and attempt the ones that he doesn't. Usually, if he can't pronounce it, it will come out, "dada". Well, after saying "bubble" and "turtle", I said, "Aiden, can you say rhinocerous?" He stopped for a second like he was going to try, then just said, "No!". It was so funny! I was proud of him that he actually used the word "no" in context! I have a feeling that will not be the last time!!

Aiden has been learning words daily and the other day he actually strung a few together! I told him that we were going outside, and he ran and got his jacket and said, "Jacket, hat, brrrr!". It is going to be so fun, and I'm sure sometimes exasperating, to hear what he has to say! I can't wait to hear what goes on in that head of his! It will be so exciting to really get to know my little man.
