Aidan is growing up so quickly it's mind-boggling. He probably says 100 words - maybe not quite that many, but we've never counted. Some of his favorites are:
- NO! He is quite opinionated and doesn't mind telling you exactly what he wants, even if he doesn't know the words to use. Grunts and points are big. If we don't figure it out precisely quick enough, a full on temper tantrum will ensue. We have been working on whining, and Mommy has started saying "No one likes a whiner" way too often. Hopefully, this stage will pass!
- Mote! - As in reMOTE control. He is obsessed with TV, even though he doesn't get to watch it very often. We turn it on when Mommy is getting ready for work in the mornings, because the Wiggles are on at 7:00 am, and they are his absolute favorites. Mommy and Daddy sometimes want to gouge their eyes out listening to the same songs over and over again, but it keeps him happy. When he yells MOTE and we don't indulge him right away, a full on temper tantrum will ensue. Again, hopefully this stage will pass. Here he is, after he conned his Pop into turning on Finding Nemo. No wonder he likes him so much!
- Jeff !!!- As in, WAKE UP JEFF! (It's from the Wiggles, and goes along with the Wiggles discussion above.
- Kizzay! - Our little dog, Kizzy, is Aidan's best friend. He loves to call her - "KIZZAAAAAAY! She doesn't like him quite as much as Aidan likes her, but at least she tolerates him. Here is the object of his affection:
- Pop - Besides calling Poppy Pop, he also loves the Dr. Seuss book "Hop on Pop" and asks us to read it at least once a day. Here is Daddy reading to him.
- "Boo" - as in BLUEBERRIES! His favorite food in the world! Luckily, his Granny brings them to him by the bagful. Here he is enjoying a homemade blueberry smoothie Mommy made for him!
- Bubs - as in Bubbles! He loves them. Whether on this bubble blower or his new bubble blowing lawn mower, bubbles are always a big hit!
Here is one family shot from Memorial Day!
