We had a wonderful easter weekend. My parents came down to see us and were able to witness Aiden taking his first steps! Our little baby suddenly seems so big and kind of fits the toddler name now! I still can not think of him as a toddler!! But his first steps were about 6 in a row...what he will do for an m&m. A few minutes later he took 11 steps in a row. All week so far he has been taking steps here and there. He will not just stand up and start walking yet. He does pull himself up and then will let go and start walking, everyday he seems to do a little more.
Boy does he love being outside! I always knew this, every since he was a newborn, if you took him outside to get some fresh air it was his instant calm. He took many walks with Grandpa Childs when crying! Yesterday was my first real example of how hard this upcoming winter will be on him. We have had some incredible weather this last month and half (as almost everyone has!) and we have been outside everyday. We take almost daily walks and Adam has had a game almost everyday that we have been able to go to. Yesterday was chilly and windy, so no morning walk. After his afternoon nap he went crawling to the door and would just cry until we went out. So we went outside in several small increments and all he wanted to do was walk up and down our sidewalk holding my hand. Too cute!! I know it will change as he gets older but I am loving every moment that he is walking now, because he almost always wants to hold my hand!
I cant believe how fast these last 13 months have gone by, and esp the last several here in Tenn. Its been amazing how much he has changed. We moved down here and he was waking up every two hours at night and not crawling or talking. Now he will sleep 10 to 11 hours at night (waited a long time for this one!!!!), hes crawling so fast and now walking, and he is talking. He says mama, dada, byebye, and I swear he says pa when we talk about Grandpa Childs. He is such an amazing little guy and I am so lucky to be at home to witness these amazing changes.
I plan to be getting on more often to keep everyone in the loop with our lives.
