This kid is getting more and more daring. I left the room for not even 2 minutes to use the bathroom and I came back to this.
So cute and getting so sure of himself in his body and trying new things. Like climbing up onto things not anchored to the wall…yeah, gotta fix that one. 
And this picture is bittersweet. Aidan turns 3 in less than 2 weeks. (He is almost 36 months actual and 33 months if you adjust for his prematurity) But does the picture below look like a 3 year old? DH and I were blown away when I downloaded these from the camera last night. My husband said, “Geez, where did our toddler go? He looks at least 4 in that picture!”
I love you Aidan. You are my daily reminder that life is miraculous and wonderful in ways I could never have imagined before you.
Julie, over at A Little Pregnant, wrote one of the best rants I have ever read. For anybody who has ever suffered from infertility, miscarriages, prematurity, or complicated births only to have above harrowing experiences minimalized by a clueless granola cruncher…this post is a MUST read.
Aidan is REALLY into emulating Brandon lately. He climbs into his shoes and puts on any of Brandon’s clothing and accessories he can get his hands on. Belts, shorts, work jackets, baseball hats, sunglasses, etc.
Most mornings now when Brandon is getting ready for work Aidan will go running into the bathroom and tell Brandon, “Want hair like Daddy’s!” That is Brandon’s cue to wet Aidan’s hair down and put in some gel.
Do these two look alike or what?
Yesterday when I was asking Aidan for a kiss, I puckered up my lips very tightly and he just stared at me. He ran his little index finger around my bottom lip and said, “Mommy wrinkles!”
Ugh. At least I had to be puckering for them to be seen!
I mentioned in an earlier post that Aidan is really ramping up his pretend play skills. For a while he has been playing with his Little People SUV and pretending that the mom and baby in the SUV are “Aidan and Mommy”. He usually has us driving and going to Little Gym or Pump It Up.
But today, he was driving it around and I asked him where they were going and he replied, “Going to get Mommy some coffee!”
So either once a day Starbucks is too much or I just have a very observant child! I am going to believe the latter, because let’s face it….Mommy needs her Starbucks!
