Aiden's recent stats

It is truly amazing how much a child can change in just four short months.  Aiden is doing some really fun things these days and it is so neat to see the changes every day brings. His recent stats include: 

*Weight- 14 pounds 11 ounces (41% of age)

*Height- 26.5 inches (90% of age)

*Head- 17.25 inches (84%)

*He is eating rice in the morning and oatmeal in the evening from a spoon.  He loves, loves, loves the rice and oatmeal. We thought it was a bit early for those items but his doctor suggested we add in a little solid food to add some weight on his skinny self!!  He is also getting 2 ounces of formula at night.  He absolutely HATES it.  It takes everything we have to make him eat it because he just makes the worst faces.  

Eating his first food from a spoon.  We have since perfected the method...this night it was a bit messy! 

* He is grabbing for toys, bottles, and pretty much anything else he can get his hands on.  He really loves grabbing mine and Josh's face.  

* Rolling over is no problem, but he doesn't like it much.  He is a bit lazy and would rather us roll him over. 

* He loves to put his foot in his mouth.

* He enjoys his bouncer with fun toys.  

Such a happy boy!!  

Broken Bow Trip

I'm once again a bit behind.  I have been meaning to blog a lot lately but haven't.  I'm going to combine our last couple trips/outings together. A couple of weekends ago we went to Broken Bow, OK to camp (in luxury) with our wonderful WAAP friends.  Of course I didn't take enough pictures but the ones I did take show how beautiful the area was.  We stayed in a gorgeous log cabin that was secluded all by itself with plenty of room for all of our activities.  It was perfect because they guys could play and be loud and not have to worry about being "shushed"!!  We got there late Thursday night and Aiden did great.  He seems to know when we are about 15 minutes from being somewhere because that is when he SCREAMS!  It is definitely the most trying time of a trip.  Friday we got to see Broken Bow from a true Broken Bower, Pam.  She gave us a tour of her hometown.  It is always fun to see where someone grew up.  WAAP Olympics also took place.  Saturday we went kayaking.  I must admit, I was very nervous because I do not like the water, but I LOVED IT!!  We will definitely be going back. Here are a couple pictures from the trip:

After our trip to Broken Bow, Josh headed back to Austin for his final week there and Aiden and I headed to San Angelo to visit my grandparents and then on to Lubbock to visit Marcus and celebrate his baptism.  I always think I take more pictures than I did...but these are all I got!

Finally, Josh, Aiden, and I went to Midland for a quick weekend.  Josh flew in late Friday night then Saturday we went to Erin and Michael's shower.  It was a great time and it was so fun seeing old friends.  I look forward to all of Erin's upcoming events!!!!!

I thought this picture was funny...Josh and Jake huddled around Josh's tiny phone watching the Laker game.  If you look closely you can see the "tv" propped up against the beer bottle.
