Growing, Growing,Gone!

Oh My Gosh! Last night Shane decided to hook up our videocamera to the TV so we could watch videos we taken since Aedyn was born. My how he has changed! The very first video we took was of our first trip to Disneyland with Aedyn, Amber and Hugh. There was video over Thanksgiving, bathtime with Grandma and Grandpa Young, another trip to Disneyland with Grammy during Christmas, Mission Inn with Uncle Jon and Aunt Kat, playtime with Popa while he played his new instrument, the concertina, and giggle time with Daddy (with plenty of spit up)!He has GROWN!We think he weighs at least 17 or18lbs. and he barely fits into the 3 month or 3-6 months clothes!

The most exciting thing we caught on video was Aedyn SITTING UP all by himself! This happened on Jan. 3 at about 9 in the morning! He only sat up for a few seconds but he was doing it by himself. We have also been practicing rolling over, from front to back, and backto front. He's trying hard, and he gets really frustrated when he's on his tummy,butHe is able to lift his head 90 degrees and lift up his chest.

Mommy and Aedyn went to Disneyland for a few hours on Wednesday for my Mom's birthday,and although we didn't do much what we did Aedyn loved. We first stopped in at the Tiki Room. Aedyn just stared at the birds and water fountain with huge eyes and didn't make one peep. He then fell asleep during lunch, then we headed over to Small World. Aedyn was fast asleep all the way through the line and getting on the boat. It wasn't until we got to the entrance when the lighting changed and the music started that he opened his eyes big and bright and just stared at EVERYTHING we passed. He didn't miss a thing! It was awesome. The bad part was Daddy had to work so he wasn't there!

Some of Aedyn's favorite things to do and watch:

Watching Daddy do the warbly tongue thrust (you'll have to see it to understand)

Playing pattycake

Singing the songs Itsy Bitsy Spider (while watching Mommy'shands), Row Row Row your Boat and Wheels on the Bus (while doing the motions).

He loves his Good Morning song

Likes to have his feet touched

Loves to watch and have conversations with "the sun" on his Baby Einstein exersaucer

He loves to go bouncy bouncy bouncy Zoom! I posted a video! (and onlyDaddy can get him to laugh when he does this. I've tried and and he likes it, but doesn't laugh. Daddy must have the touch.)

Aedyn loves to dance with Mommy in the kitchen.

Aedyn loves to look at himself in the mirror,any mirror!

Right now Aedyn is in his swing after his morning bottle (have I mentioned that he's sleeping through the night at least 7-8 hours, without being in his carseat) just talking to himself and squealing with delight! He'a such a good baby, but he definitely has his own personality! He is PURE JOY!
