Discoveries

*Gravity*
Aidan has discovered how funny it is to drop his sippy cup off the side of his highchair and watch Mommy pick it up.

*Splashing*
Bath time has become a wave pool. Good thing Rubber Ducky doesn't get sea sick.

*Biting*
Mommy's shoulder seems to be the spot of choice to sink his teeth into. I've been trying to watch for triggers, and it tends to be when Aidan is tired or when he's pulling himself up on me. (uses his teeth for a little more oomph!)

*Lip Smacking*
This started when he was hungry, but has turned into a fun sound and now he does it all the time. We've started making patterns with it...I smack once, he repeats, I smack twice, he smacks twice, and so on. Very cute.

*Sharing*
What Aidan likes to put in his mouth, you should like in your mouth, right? He has been practicing sharing (not intentionally) by handing his toys to Mommy and Daddy. We praise him for being such a nice baby, say thank you, then hand them back. Aidan loves this game. He also tries to share his toys with Roxie, but then she gets scolded, so Roxie isn't too keen on taking Aidan's toys unless no one is paying attention to her. Then she grabs one and runs away. Almost all of Aidan's plastic toys now have teeth marks in them.

*Puppies Love Food*
Note the sharing comment above. Aidan shares his food with Roxie. He'll pick up one piece and pop it in his mouth, then pick up another piece and give it to Roxie, who eats it out of his hand. Over and over I tell him "the food is not for puppies, the food is for Aidan to eat". It's just way too much fun to feed the dog.
