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!
For Old Time Sake…
So, when you child starts to sleep from 8:30pm or 9 till around 6am or 7 even 8 some days for like 2 or 3 months, it’s easy to adapt to it. But tonight Ayden decided for ‘old time sake’ that he’d wake up in the middle of the night… so it’s 3am ooh now it’s 4am.. that’ll make for a fun day tomorrow.. luckily Wed is Canada day and a holiday.. ya what’s with that in the middle of the week – weird. In any event I made him a bottle like it’s my job to do – Mom entertained him and then is now feeding him. So I think we’ll be alright… he’s not screaming or fussing – he just woke up. The importance of the burrito… We wrap Ayden very snuggly in his blankets, as...
First Swim
Ayden had his first swim at Oma & Opa’s house. We’re pretty sure that he enjoyed it.

The Ring is OFF!
This is just a quick post to let people know that the RING is off. perhaps a back story is in order… when they circumcised Ayden they well not to get to graphic.. they pull the skin way back… hold it on the end of this ‘Y’ shaped plastic holder and then slice down the middle.. then they wrap this skin around a tiny piece of plastic. this plastic bit as I am to understand cuts the circulation off to the skin wrapped around it and when the skin dies off.. the ring falls off. Kinda like how the belly button is formed. So every night for a week and a bit we had to give Ayden a bath, normally it’s every other night. We also had to put Vaseline on it so it wouldn’t stick to the diaper. But now it’s off and healed up nicely....
