Aiden has been keeping us pretty busy this last week or so. Mostly in a good way! When he is not occupying Mommy (and sometimes while he is!), we are busy with getting Daddy ready for a week in Australia this week, and getting things ready for Mommy's trip to Halifax the week after... so, busy all 'round!
We made a special trip to the mall to get Aiden a life jacket that fits him so Mommy didn't have to be on high alert when we go swimming. That worked for a week, and then he discovered the joy of jumping in... Very glad he is in a life jacket, but still on high alert since he doesn't wait for an invitation but randomly launches himself out into the water!
Aiden's other joy is noise. Whether it is simply his toys banged onto the floor in such a racket that we can't hear ourselves think, or a nicer jab and poke at the keyboard, he likes to make noise. And bounce along to it. We have to be watching or he'll stand up on the stool to bounce along!
He's begun showing his tastes in food. Surprizingly, yes, he does like hot sauce! It doesn't seem to matter that daddy has given him spoonfuls that tend to make him tear up, cry, and grab at his mouth - he'll still reach for more.
He's also discovered the joys of shopping... this last time he kept us all moving - taking the random things out of our cart that he'd put in. So we improvised a "car seat" to keep him out of the way. Giving him cans of tuna to stack can work too.
And, just once in a great while he will be still and safely occupied. More often with the help of PraiseBaby DVDs, but there are a few rare occasions when he chooses to be still all on his own - this one with Dad, making it an all the more noteworthy an occasion.
