Family, Elephants and Cars OH MY!

It has been quite a busy 6 weeks or so in this household!  Back in the end of October we had Adam's brother Jason and his family come stay with us for the weekend. They have Lexi, 7 and Addi who he is 6 days older then Aiden, so as you can imagine it was quite a fun weekend!  We took them to the discovery center and then Trick or Trunk at our Church.  Aiden then developed his first ear infection the next day ( I know thats pretty good for a 21 month old!).

The next weekend Adam's younger brother Blake came down to go to their first ever Bear's game.  The game was a little cold for my taste, but it was an amazing win on the Bears part.  Aiden had so much fun wrestling around with his Uncle Blake.

Then about two weeks later we headed up North for Thanksgiving.  We spent the first few days in New Haven and did Thanksgiving day there (first time ever since we have been married!)  It was a blast and all of Adam's siblings were there and the kids all got to play together.  We then headed down to Indy to see my family.  Aiden was able to play with Alex his cousin (they are 6 months and 6 days apart).  They seemed to have alot of fun playing and "sharing" toys together.

Since being home, Aiden got another cold and I spent a week fighting Bronchitis.  Needless to say Aiden has had lots of good moments with daddy this past week!

Now for Aiden Changes:
Over the last month or so Aiden has become a huge daddy's boy.  The moments are nice but its hard to see when he cries at the door when he leaves :(
He is pretty stubborn with some of his words.  He has said more and please but prefers to sign those when he is asking for something.
He is getting a ton better with knowing his body parts.  He knows his hair, eyes, nose, ears, mouth, tongue (which is out all the time courtesy of Childs' traits!), arm, elbow, belly button, leg, knee and feet!
We are working on the colors and he can say blue pretty well (not always sure which one it is though :) )
He does not watch too much TV but the one show he watches is Babar.  Not one I had ever heard of but seems a lot of people watched growing up, pretty cute about elephants and his animal friends.  Most of the time he will watch a few minutes of it and then he is off climbing on to something!
He has started picking up his bat and has started to get a pretty great swing (one proud daddy!), he also does this with the golf clubs (sorry Papa). 
And last but not least the little bug has figured out the IPAD. He was able to play a few games before however now he has figured out how to unlock, and he scrolls right to his apps.  He has a Mickey Mouse clubhouse, Chugginton, and a Cars app.  The whole time on Cars he is vroom vrooming with his mouth and trying to drive it. 

I think this about updates over our last crazy month or so!  Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
