Here we go......

I've been wanting to start a blog about how our lives have changed since Aidan joined our family since January.... 

Well here it is late August and I'm finally making my first post.  It is hard to believe that Aidan will be a year old in less then 2 months, it doesn't seem like that much time has passed since they placed him in my arms after giving birth to him; I guess that is what lack of sleep and a demanding 'almost' toddler do to your sense of time.

How things have changed....

• Sleeping soundly or for how long you would like is no longer allowed

• Completing thoughts or tasks without interruption... yeah right, not in my wildest dreams does this ever happen

• We breast feed, co-slept, cloth diaper, don't practice "letting him cry it out", & are exposing him to baby sign language.... if you would have asked me even on the way home from the hospital I would have said there was no way he would ever sleep in the same bed with or ever wear cloth diapers or be contemplating breast feeding past a year old & I probably would have looked at you like you had 3 heads for even thinking that.

Aidan is a very active, happy, & loving little boy.  He cruises well from the couch to the coffee table to the couch again.  He pushes his fire truck and even rides it on occasion too.  I'm sure he'll decide to let go of the furniture and walk any day, he already stands on his own for a few seconds at a time.  We have our 10 mo. well visit this Tuesday so we will know how he is doing on the growth charts.

Well I think I will end this blog here and I'll post more later.

Oh, Aidan did do something rather amusing yesterday... we decided to let him go around bare butt for a little while this afternoon and not even 30 sec after he was let loose to roam the living room, I feel this warm liquid hit my big toe... he was peeing while he cruised around the coffee table giggling as he went.& I guess he showed us why we don't let him go bare butt very often! :)
