9 months!!

I can not believe that Aiden is already 9 months old. Where has the time gone? He is no longer my little tiny baby that will let me sit there and hold him. Instead he is this big baby that crawls and wants to explore the world. Not only is he crawling but he is also walking along furniture and trying to balance himself long enough to stay standing. I am sure he will be walking in no time which means he will probably just be getting into more stuff. Each new stage is exciting and the time is going by so fast. His favorite thing to do lately is pull out all the DVD's and throw them on the floor. I am picking up DVD's about 3 times a day. It's ok though as long as he is getting enjoyment out of it. It keeps him busy for awhile at least.

He is doing more and more everyday. Paul and my favorite thing right now is getting him to shake his head. At first he was just copying us when we would do it but now he has caught on to its meaning. Every time we tell him "no" know, he just shakes his head and looks at us with a big grin. After that we are quick to forget what we were telling him "no" for in the first place. I have a feeling that might be his first word and I can't say that I am proud of that. He also likes to hear himself. A lot of times when I put him down for a nap he just sits there and gabbers to himself until he falls asleep.

I am sure I have said this before but I feel so blessed to be this little boy's mom. He is happy most of the time and such a cute little guy. I can't stop lovin on him and I can't imagine life without him. Here are a few pictures of him lately.

Aiden crawled under his jumper and stood up under it. He did find a peep hole through one of the leg holes. I am glad he stayed there long enough for me to take a picture. He did think he was pretty funny.

One night after putting him to bed he was just talking away. We came in his room and this is how we found him. He was just hanging out, having a good time.

Aiden will go to any length to get to what he wants
