Friday Extravaganza

The Passing of the Keys
This morning we noticed Aiden passing an object from one hand to the other. He was just sitting in his bumbo playing with the plastic keys (and working on a dirty diaper). He dropped them on his right, bent over to pick them up, passed them to his left hand and passed them back to his right. Dr. Ally told us to expect this at his 4 month appointment and we'd been waiting.

Bad to the Bone
We went to Kid to Kid the other day and I found three items for $11! Aiden scored two new pairs of Baby Gap pajamas and a seersucker romper. The jammies had a "spring 2008" tag inside meaning they're pretty dang new, they retail for about $20 each so I was excited. Our favorite new item is the skull suit you see on the left.

Jumping for Joy
Mr. Man is quite mobile. Have I already mentioned this? He doesn't crawl but he does roll and he moves fast. Because of this we've had to find ways to contain him a bit. A jumperoo has been the answer; we found it on craigslist for $10 and Aiden loves it. There's no way to describe how much he loves it so I will take a video next time he uses it.

Sleeping Arrangements
Mr. Man is quite mobile. We put him to bed on his back but he's always in a different position in 5 seconds or less. Frequently we find him sleeping the short way in his crib. Last night we got a good picture to illustrate this.

Granana!
Aiden's Great Grandmother Sue (Granana rhymes with banana) and Great Aunt Liz are coming for a visit in September. Adam and I have tickets to see Jim Gaffigan (he's a comedian) so Sue and Liz will be supervising Mr. Man in our absence. We'll also be doing other things during their visit but I'm fairly certain this particular weekend was chosen because they'll get some solo time with Aiden.

The Road Trip
You may remember we drove to McCall the other day. By the time we got home Aiden had spent a good chunk of the day in his car seat and was anxious to get out. He started rolling around like a crazy man the moment we took him out and he played with intensity for a good 30 minutes. We took a few videos; I will edit and post them a little later.
