8 months

Aiden Monkey turned 8 months yesterday!

Here's what he's been up to in the last month:

• A few weeks ago we finally started bathing Aiden in the regular bathtub.  We were just being really slow about getting a no-slip bath mat (it's an alligator!) and a kneeling pad (never realized they had these!) for us.  We also had maintenance come take the glass doors off.  They were a huge pain to get around while trying to bathe Aiden.

• If Aiden sees us eating anything, he comes crawling as fast as he can and makes a certain noise that we've come to learn means he wants some.  We give him teeny little bites :)

Here Trent was giving him a Kix.

Examining a blueberry.

• He pretty much always insists on standing.

Over to check on Sam (Tanis and Kent's dog).

• Speaking of standing, Aiden no longer gets stuck like that!  He figured out how to get down a few days after I posted his 7 month post.  Yay Aiden!

• We got Aiden a little highchair.  We just went with the Busy Baby Booster.  Aiden loves the activity tray that fits into the feeding tray :)

• Lately when Aiden puts something in his mouth, he lets part of it hang out.  It reminds me of a little puppy dog :)

Here he has my hair tie - there was a little clip attached to it that's in his mouth..ha.

• Aiden keeps calling people!  It's usually those on my speed dial (he's called Trent, my mom, Jen, and my dad several times), but he has also called a few people off my contact list.  I'm really sorry if you ever get one of these calls..haha.

Btw, I love his bed head in this picture :)

• He loves to play with measuring cups, silverware, anything that he can bang around and that makes a loud noise :)

• He has started making a face where he scrunches up his nose.  It's so cute!  I tried to get a picture, but it's hard to tell.

• When I'm washing dishes and loading the dishwasher Aiden often comes in behind me and unloads it..haha.

• To our dismay, Aiden has figured out how to open the DVD player and opens it all the time.  We're just waiting for the day that he breaks it :/  I wonder if there's any child lock we can put on it ?

And I think that's it!  

I seriously love to just sit and watch Aiden.  It's like I can see the wheels turning in his little head as he is learning so much!  And for your enjoyment here are a few more pictures from the last several weeks :)

Getting tired.

Do you need some tanning lotion?

Zonked!  He's getting so big!

Love Daddy!
