We have been experiencing some beautiful weather the last couple of days which has been wonderful with such an active little guy! I think this picture is such a good one to describe his ever growing personality. He has moments of complete insanity in his playfulness...he will literally walk in circles laughing at times! He has really started enjoying his independence. He prefers walking rather than being held and usually will only eat if he can feed it to himself.
He has also started playing more independently then he used to. There are times where I will be folding laundry in the living room and I will turn around and he will be sitting alone in the hallway looking through a book or playing with a toy.
Recently, Aiden has been on a roll learning and maintaining new habits. He will click his tounge anytime you ask if he wants food or milk, give kisses and wave goodbye when you leave, clap anytime anyone around is clapping, laugh this amazingly cute fake laugh when others around him are laughing, and has finally started standing up without the assistance of an item to pull up on. He is growing SO fast!!!
And to share the best news...I have finally quit my job to be a stay at home mom. For those that knew, I was supposed to go part time when Aiden was 1 but my employer could not offer my position part time. I have continued to work full time despite the hardship on our family, but we are finally at a place where it is reasonable for me to be home. We are very excited for this change (and just a little worried). I have about 6 more weeks of work...let the countdown begin!!!!
