Peas, Pears, & Bumbos! :)

As I mentioned in my last post, Aden has started to try out some solids! And so far his favorites are peas & pears. :) Here are a few photos of his happy, messy first solids experience.

Aden has also just started to sit up with a little supportive help. It's so fun to see him growing up!! Instead of letting him lean against pillows, though, we decided to get him one of those ever popular Bumbo seats. He isn't quite sure what to think of it yet, but he sure does like sitting like a big boy!

Last, but not least, here's a photo of Aden holding his head up so well!! And of course he is looking at himself in the mirror. It seems we are raising quite a vain baby boy!! :) He loves to sit and stare at himself in the mirror. It's so funny!

5 Days & Counting...

Well, we are 5 days out from our last day in New York. It's been a great 6 months full of absolutely amazing adventures, blessings and surprises. But we knew it wouldn't last forever, and now that we've had our fun it is time to say goodbye.

The movers come on Tuesday to make a list of the items we will be moving. Then they come Wednesday to pack everything up, and Thursday to move everything out. We will be leaving around noon on Friday, shortly after Harold's graduation ceremony. What a wonderful way to spend my birthday!! :) It's been a long two years for us, and we couldn't be happier that this Nuclear Training Program is finally coming to an end.

We have been spending our last few days in New York with our close friends we have made here. We are sad to know that they will be leaving us and going to Washington State. :( But we've been careful to take lots of photos and to keep every memory made here with our friends close to our hearts. These times will always be remembered. :)

Well, of course in every post I feel like sharing photos of Aden is a must!!

He has been changing so much lately!! Two of our newest updates are the highlights of our lives right now!! Aden has learned to roll over!! :D He will go from his belly to his back and sometimes he even makes it from his back onto his belly!! :) His pediatrician said that he is "very advanced"... ;)
And for our other update??

Aden LOVES peas!!
That's right...who would have thought that any son of Harold's would ever love a vegetable??! Aden has started the transition into solid foods...very, very slowly...but we are happy to see him enjoying the process. :)
