In two days, my little boy will be FOUR MONTHS old! I'm having a hard time believing it but it becomes a little more apparent each day, the more he grows and changes.
Aidan has taught himself how to squeal (in delight) and scream (in anger). The squealing is the cutest thing you'll ever see. He buries his face in your shoulder and just lets loose this sound of pure happiness. It's quite the opposite when he's unhappy though. He doesn't always scream - he mostly just cries - but when he's super-p!ssed, he'll throw his head back and let it go. It honestly sounds like we're killing him, which, with the windows now open majority of the time, I'm expecting neighbors to call the police.
Aidan also likes to reach for things, which to me is very promising given his sight issues. He loves sitting in his bouncy seats that have objects hanging in front of him and reaching for them. On his carseat carrier, we have a blue octopus hanging on it that has a crab hanging off of it and when you pull hard enough on the crab, it plays music. He did that 4-5 times yesterday and another couple times today. He's beginning to understand "rewards", in that manner.
He has also moved past just making vowel sounds (like 'ahhh' and 'uhhh') to beginning to incorporate consonants. He now loves to look at me and say "ahh goo" and he loves to tell Daddy "bobobobobobobo".
His next well-baby visit is the 25th of April. Once I am able to speak with his doctor concerning solids, we will be starting him in on them! SOLIDS!! He'll also be weighed and measured again, which I am very anxious to see. At 2 months, he had gained 4 lbs. and grew 4". I'd be shocked if he isn't upwards of 12-13 lbs. Not sure on the height.
And our last big news - my big boy gets baptized on April 30th!
Here are some pictures of him I took yesterday. Sorry they're so big.
