And, I can't believe we've been home 4 months today, July 5th! In looking back, I still can not believe we've been home 4 months. And the memory of flying half way around the world wasn't a dream, that we really brought Aiden home and he's here with us! Just hits me weird sometimes! lol It seems so short and yet seems like he's been here forever. Aiden is doing really really well. I'm beginning to believe it now, lots of friends and family have told me so, okay I believe you all now! I'm such a basket-case worrier though. I'm so into Aiden's schedule, it's my first thought when the hubs asks "so what's going on this weekend?" or if Taylor asks "what are we doing today?" I need to get a grip, seriously! It's like I think he can't function without his schedule. ((maybe it's me that can't function without his schedule?!?))
This past Saturday was our local town's fireworks celebration. I don't have any pictures, forgot the camera both nights! At least I didn't forget the diaper bag! :) We went to the park where they had lots of tents, tractor's, games, a firetruck spraying water on the basketball court for anyone who wanted to indulge, and food. Aiden ate his first hot dog, loved Tay's snowcone, and enjoyed some free lemonade! That evening was the fireworks show, so we set out at 8:15 to get a good spot, and waited. Any other time I would have said no way, 8 pm is Aiden's bedtime but I'm trying to relax and enjoy. When the fireworks started, Mike got Aiden out of the car and we watched his expression. Yep, he liked them! He pointed and said "oooooooo"! I was afraid he'd get scared with the loud boom, but he didn't! WTG Aiden!! :) He already had his pj's on, so when it was over he fell asleep on the way home and I laid him in his bed sound asleep, and not a peep all night! :)
So yesterday we went to some friends of ours house for a 4th of July celebration. Had a great time and Aiden did too. He let some friends hold him, enjoyed the fireworks, and the food! So I was really happy that he was happy, and let me tell you, it was GREAT to be with friends again! I've missed them and hanging out with them! Aiden fell asleep on the way home again, even later last night, but he had a great time, we all had a great time and I'm so happy he's adjusting well, and is happy! :)
Aiden's tastes have changed a lot! He wants pretty much what we're eating, baby food is gone! He loves blueberries, cantaloupe, pretty much all fruits! We're seeing more of his temper, but that's normal for this age ... right? :) He has 10 teeth now. The first set of molars are in and it's really hard to see that his teeth bothered him at all. He doesn't drool or put his fingers in his mouth, so maybe he's not a bad teether, we'll see! :) Love to see Aiden smile when he sees his grandparents! Can't help to smile big at that one! :)
All in all, I'd say Aiden is doing great! Some days are rough, but most days are great! Just hang with me Aiden, we'll make it yet! :)
