The Butler's: Aiden 18 month update

Since Aiden is already past 19 months this post is over due but what is important is that it is here. I could just sit and watch Aiden play and discover new things all day. He is such a little character and so full of love. He has such a cute sense of humor and loves to make people laugh. One of his tricks is that he discovered he has holes in his nose so he will stick both fingers in his nose and laugh and laugh. His first work was “ticka ticka” meaning tickle tickle and it is a nightly occurrence for him to come up to Paul and I and grab our feet and say “Ticka ticka ticka” with a big grin on his face. He is also quite the dancer. Lately he has really busted out some moves. He has this cute little booty shake going on and has started getting his arms into it and everything. Paul has gotten some videos on his phone but every time I pull the camera out he gets distracted and stops dancing. I guess I will have to sneak it out one of these days. He loves giving kisses and blowing kisses but he must be running out because mommy is not getting nearly as many kisses as she use to. He also loves to color. He is always going around saying “color, color” and running to the closet where he knows the crayons are kept. He loves talking on the phone and it is not rare to find him talking to Aunt Holly. (I think up until last weekend when they were visiting he thought she lived in the computer.) He is saying so many new words and adds more and more to his vocabulary everyday. The latest include potty, spidy (spider) and woof (dog).

I can’t believe that my baby is a toddler now. I don’t know where the time went. He is such a sweet little spirit and for the most part a very good little boy. I will admit, sometimes he does try my patience but what toddler doesn’t test their limits. We are so thankful that Heavenly Father entrusted us to care for him and let him join our home. It wouldn’t be the same with out him. We love that little boy more then words can say.
