Wow, time does fly! I can't believe that Aidan has gotten so big. I feel like it was just yesterday when he was just contented to lay on my chest and sleep and now he is up and moving. Contented only to be moving and exploring. As you can see, he can stand on his own. He doesn't dare take a step with out some help though. You can tell though that he wishes he could walk. It will only be a matter of time now before he can do that too.
The other day Aidan was rather intrigued by his dad's shoes. So, we decided that we would put him into them. We tried to lace them up so that he couldn't get out but his feet are still a little too small yet. He thought that this was quite fun. On the weekend Jamie and I attended an evening at CLA that was featuring Dr. Tim Kimmel; the author of "Graced Based Parenting" We went with some of our couples from our life group. We all have kids at different ages and the women are reading the book right now. It is such a good book. Lots of it is common sense if you are a believer but it is so good to read it and hear from someone who has done it in his own home. I would highly recommend the book. I am so glad that I am reading it now, while Aidan is so young and I can work on it now as such a young age.
He has definitely found the camera. Whenever it is out he will stop and smile for it. He thinks he is hot stuff, can you tell???8 month milestones:
~ he has cut two top teeth. They aren't the front ones but the fangs. That will make for some interesting pictures I am sure
~ he tried avocado for the first time last night and loved it (thanks kelly)
~ he can almost eat an entire banana
~ standing on his own
~ he has learned to ask for the slurps of our pop and he loves it! Whenever we have a can of pop he comes over with his mouth open nad he enjoys the tiny bit that is left at the lip of the can. He thinks he is getting so much! (oh the wonderful habits we are starting)

wow! he is standing eh?! That's amazing. Thanks for the 8 month update, I love the photos. He is getting big. I've only seen select few times and he is always so much bigger every time I see him :o), I guess that's what happens to babies haha
Happy eight months! I can't believe that he is already standing on his own and looking quite proud while he does it.
Megan, thanks for the update in pictures. These are great. What a big boy you have. Challenged with standing, next will be independence. What great fun. I'm glad to see you are giving him the important food groups. Now if he takes a liking to olives and raspberries you will have true genetic confession. Thanks again for helping us stay up with his development. Love you all, Papa...........
