Aidan's First Haircut

I know most "first haircut" pictures are of toddlers, but Aidan is just so ahead of the curve that he was ready for his first haircut at only three months old! He had some very long wisps in the front that needed to be snipped (the Donald Trump Combover just wasn't working), so I took him to my hairstylist today. Aunt Lindsay came with us and Aidan had so much fun with her while I was getting my hair cut! Then he sat in my lap for his turn while Lindsay took pictures. And yes, I did save his first lock of hair. Afterwards, Aidan went to McDonalds for the very first time. What an exciting day!

Off to college we go!

We've been to visit Mommy's old co-workers at UT-Dallas this week. Aidan is always a big hit!

A new toy

We put Aidan's walker together last night so he could have a tray to play with his toys on. He likes it, but his feet are still several inches from the floor and he gets tired after a few minutes. Here he is napping in his swing and grinning for the camera! His new hobbies are kicking things, and standing up (with help, of course).

Tummy Time

Here are some pictures of Aidan with two of his favorite toys, his jungle playmat and his fish mirror that we use for tummytime. He had a very up-and-down day today. We think some bottom teeth may be on their way! When he's happy, he's very happy, but when he's upset...it's all over! Kind of like that nursery rhyme about the little girl with the curl in the middle of her forehead.

Here are some pictures of my sweet growing boy :)

Fussy

Aidan's been a little fussy off and on during the last week or so. I think he may still be recovering from all our company over 4th of July weekend! He takes one good three-hour nap in the mornings, but going down for short naps throughout the rest of the day is getting to be a challenge. Nights are getting better. He goes down around 8pm and stays asleep until almost 5am (although last night he had a relapse and was up at 3). He has been using his hands more...he loves to swipe at the animals on his jungle playmat, and sometimes he'll even grab at a toy, although usually by accident. He's also becoming a drool factory so he's wearing lots of bibs these days! Tummy time is getting better since we started propping him up on the boppy. He hates when we put him directly on the floor. In other news, I threw a baby shower for my friend Sarah who is having twin boys later this summer. Aidan can't wait to meet his new playmates Rhett and Wyatt!

American Baby

Happy 4th of July!! Here is Aidan with Aunt Amy, dressed in his patriotic outfit.

Family Visit

Aidan is having such a fun weekend! His grandparents Grammy and Papi are here from Florida, and his great-grandparents (Gamma and Great Pa) and Uncle Jason are also here. Grammy gave him two new books, Papi gave him some different colored "high-top sneaker" socks, and Gamma gave him his first pair of sunglasses. Last night we had a surprise 80th birthday party for Great Pa so Aidan got to help him celebrate. When Aidan is not napping or snuggling with Grammy, he is the center of attention in the living room. He also loves his new bumbo seat!
