7 Months

So, Aiden turned 7 months back on the 17th. I never got around to posting about it so here it is. We love this kid so much. He gets cuter all the time. He has the biggest open mouthed smile I have ever seen. At his 6 month appointment he was still kind of small but he is moving up in the percentiles, especially the size of his head. He's above average there and below average in height and weight. He is starting to chub up for him though. Aiden loves baby food, any kind and I think can't wait to move on to more and more real food. He's still an amazing night sleeper and he is having more and more time during the day without sleep. He is pretty content all day unless he wants to eat or needs to sleep. His very latest venture is learning to move around more. He is a pro at rolling all over and just a couple days ago he figured out army crawling. He can now get where he wants to go. I imagine he will be crawling for real before we know it. Now we are just waiting to see when he will cut his first tooth!

Ok, there are a ridiculous number of pictures and this wasn't even all of them. I couldn't help myself though. They are all just too darn cute. 

Love the drool hanging off his chin. It's so him.

 Baby fingers and toes are so cute.

 These next couple he was watching Olivia do whatever it was she was doing. He was totally intrigued and very excited by it all.

 He does this a lot and I don't know why but it makes me chuckle a little.

 Ok. The end. I swear. But really, can you get too much of this little dude?!

I kinda love living in Marana where these are the views I get whenever I leave to go somewhere. Gotta love not being surrounded by neighborhood after neighborhood or stores or anything. I also love how frequently we have seen these kind of stormy skies this Monsoon. Love it!

Aunt Jenn.

Fish stick fish tacos. Yum!

Love this boys beautiful eyes.

Ha Ha!

It's a colorful bird, made out of a box Noah's birthday gift came in. So cute.

Easiest Monkey Bread Ever

We love this monkey bread you make with Pillsbury Grands biscuits. It is super simple and very tasty. If you want to try it just go to the Pillsbury website. Always a yummy breakfast.

A couple weeks ago we finally advanced from the bumbo during breakfast and dinner. Aiden learned how to get out of the bumbo and he moves around in it too much. The high chair is much nicer and limits his mobility.

 He loves being at the table with the family.

Shortly before the start of the new school year I finally took the plunge and moved things around so the littlest people around here could be in new beds. So now my sweet little baby Olivia is in a toddler bed and Aiden finally got to advance from the bassinet to the crib. I am pretty sure he is super happy about it too. He really was from end to end in the bassinet. It is always weird at first to not have the baby right next to me anymore but it is nice now. All the kids usually sleep through the night and Jay and I have our room all to ourselves again. I can't believe my little people are getting so big though. If I recall correctly I think my eyes got a bit watery when I put Olivia in her big girl bed the first time. Just so hard to see them growing up. It's fun though.

 Olivia looked just so big in her little bed.

 And Aiden looked so tiny in his big bed.

While Jenn was away at the beginning of the month the kids had a little hang out time in her room. They all just chilled on the bed and watched cartoons one evening. They love being in Aunt Jenn's room.

Barbecue, A Swim and Goodbyes

This was the last weekend with Marilyn and her family before they moved to Toole Utah. It was a fun time and we are sad we won't have these times regularly anymore. We hope they have a fun time with their new adventure in Utah.

 What better time to swim than when a thunder storm is rolling in?

 I managed to capture this catastrophe as it was happening. Kylie and Zoey were diving in and Noah thought it would be fun to try and jump over them at the same time. He ended up landing on Zoey's head. There were tears but it all ended up okay in the end.

 I am really sad I won't get to see these little girlies together all the time. They had really become good friends.
