TEETH!!

Aden has 2 more teeth coming in! Yeah!! He has had his bottom 2 teeth for almost3 months now. He has his 2 eye teeth coming in on the top. So we've decided he is going to look like a vampire!! Were still trying to "force" him to crawl, or atleast get on his knees. We put him on his knees and he just face plants himself! We think he's stuck in reverse! He will scoot off of his blankets, (we have hardwood floors) and just keep going backwords, into the dining room or into the other part of the living room! I know my son is lazy, but I wish he would catch up with what he is suppose to be doing at this age!!I mean, he didn't even roll over till he was 6 months!! I just want everything to go perfect and I know it wont, but I just wish he would crawl sometimes!!

Fathers Day

For Father's day, we decided to have both of our familes over for a bbq. It went really well, us girls bbq and made the meal and the guys sat around the fire chatting away. Tony had to work that morning so it was just me and Aden. Aden decided to do a "stepping stone" for daddy. So Heather and Tyler (boyfriend) did them and they turned out great. It's got Aden's hand and feet on them. And we also got Tony a bbq set, with all the utensil's for bbq, since we've been using our kitchen ones, I decided it would be nice to have a set. It went really good and I know Tony enjoyed every minute of it. We got my dad a new bbq for Father's day. And he was surprised and very thankful! Both grandpa and papa got a cement stone of Aden's hand and feet too. :)

On the other hand, Aden is doing so much better now. He isn't coughing, if he does its very rare and not as bad as before. He has an appetite now, the other morning he ate 2 bowls of oatmeal and a jar of fruit!! WOW! He has been drinking more of the formula too, so we've uped his ounces to 7 and he downs it in no time!! He's starting to put on some weight, which is good. Anyways that's all the news for now!! :)

sickness

I've had the last couple days off, and we got some things accomplished. We took an old dresser to good will, got a new one from a friend, got it stained! Tony had some alone time while Aden and I went to the mall and meet my sister, nephew and neice. We just strolled through the mall, poking our heads into various stores. And got Tony his Father's day present. Aden has been sick with "croupe cough" and he has been coughing so hard that he's thrown up, had tears running down his face. And they won't give us anything for it. :( I feel so bad, cause he looks @ us and has that look of help me, I'm in pain. He has had no appetite. We tried feeding him baby food and he spits it out, or turns his head away from it. He has started eating more formula, which is good, cause he's wetting his diapers more often. But still not as often as I would like. They told us the best thing for him is "fresh air" so I've been taking him outside as much as I can. But we feel so bad for him. :( On the good side, he has been sitting up on his own, and doing great with it. were trying to get him to crawl and catch himself when he falls. :)

sick

Yesterday I got up and ready for work, and got all Aden's stuff ready to go, since he would be spending a couple hours with a family member. I had to wake him up, and noticed he had a temp. So I took it and it was high, 101.2 and I called his doctor and they told me that was fine, until it got to 102 not to worry, just to give him Motrin. And now he's sick, horrible, coughing, sneezing, eyes are red. And he has been coughing so hard that he is spitting up mucas! So I stayed home with him yesterday and relaxed and tried to get his temp. to come down. About 5 it finally broke!! I was releived but he wasn't eating and cranky.

smiles

aahh life is so sweet with an 8 month old. I love the fact that he is actuall laughing now!! It just puts a smile on my face, anytime!! Aden is also "talking" in his terms. it's usally babbababa followed by him spitting! He is the best baby ever!! (I'm sure every mom says that!) Tony and I went out to dinner tonight, and Aden just sat in his car seat, talking away and playing, so Tony and I both enjoyed our dinner and had an adult converstation. :)

Today Aden and I went for a walk, it was nice and relaxing just breathing in fresh air and being outside. Ever since camping, he loves to be outside, he just smiles from ear to ear. After about an hour of being out and about we came back took a little nap. We then went out into the front yard and sat on the swing. I chatted on the phone for a bit, and I look over and Aden's passed out on the swing, it was only 7:30! And he's been asleep ever since. Which means he will be up early. Well that's our little one, he won't sleep in, up at 7 am every morning. Well I guess I should hit the hay, I have to work tomarrow early and have some chores to do when I get home. :)
