Three Firsts In One Day!
Who knew waking up today that it would hold so many firsts for our little fella. It started off good because Ayden slept in a little – as of late he’s been getting up at 6:30am.. give or take, but today he slept till 7:15am. I know!!! that’s crazy. It gave mom time to have a shower – which she normally doesn’t have time for in the morning. Today the infant development lady (Janice Richards) came to check in on Ayden – she makes sure that the little guy is meeting his developmental benchmarks and stuff like that and if he needs any help there’s a whole ton of people that are willing to step in and guide Ayden to make the most of his life. At 4:30pm today Ayden’s Physiotherapist showed up to teach Lindsay and I...
Ayden Phones Dad!
So I got a phone message from my son today.. and here’s how it went. it was awesome!!!
Ayden's First… Popcicle!!!!
Now, I know what your saying.. isn’t it bad to give a young child of Ayden’s age anything but formula as he can get allergies or even rot the teeth that are deep within his gums? But I’ve been trying to give Ayden all manner of “grown-up” food unsuccessfully, shot down by Mom – for Ayden’s well being of course. But tonight I come home to see mom eating a green Popsicle and after our ‘welcome homes’ she walks over to Ayden and says well think he’d like some of this.. and touches his tongue with the Popsicle! Now I’ll admit the little tike just loved it and I wish I had some of the stellar faces he made on film. He would smile and then stick his tongue out again – and again and again…...
Mirror, Mirror on the wall….
Today Ayden was looking in the mirror with me and started to smile at the baby who was looking back at him. For the last while he’s not been to interested in the mirror, but today he smiled and coo’d at the reflection! It was so cute!!!!
Rolling over!!!
Well this morning at 9:55am (Wed, July 8, 2009) Ayden rolled over for the first time all by himself from his back to his front. I was talking with Grampy on the phone and Ayden was lying on the floor. All of a sudden he rolled over from lying on his back (and rolled using his left side) to lying on his tummy…. I was shocked!!!! I immediately messaged dad at work to tell him and then called him as well….That’s such a big step for our little boy. I had tears in my eyes of joy and excitement!!!
First Television Program…
Tonight Ayden and I watched our first televsion program together… we we playing together in the living room and I noticed that he looked up and saw the television and it seemed to catch his complete attention for a little while so I asked Lindsay to turn to TreeHouse, a children’s station here in Canada that plays 24hours of continuous kids programming. And then Ayden and I sat and watched a full episode of Big and Small. It was really cool to see the look of wonder on his face as these characters moved about the screen. I had a great time!
