Aiden is 7 months old today! Happy Birthday AJ and thanks for sleeping from 7:30 until nearly 7:30 am this morning! That was the best birthday present ever, I think you must be going through a growth spurt. Aiden's latest hobby is trying to talk louder than his brothers at dinner. John and I have decided it is pretty much impossible to carry on any type of conversation. He is starting to sleep on his belly and is weaning off the swaddle blanket, but still enjoys his pacifier. We are just starting to introduce a "lovey" that hopefully he will enjoy as much as his brothers enjoy their beloved "doggies".
Luke and Liam had an eventful weekend with a few new summer purchases. They have had their eyes on the older neighborhood kids as they ride their scooters and roller blades around the neighborhood. So, over the weekend, we got them each some very beginner skates that go over your shoes and a small scooter with three wheels that does not require any balancing. John and I thought we had a little time before they would be riding or skating, but we were definitely mistaken. We also thought we would use some helmets that some twin friends in New Jersey passed down to us several years ago; however, we were mistaken about that as well.
The boys were skating down the driveway in a matter of minutes (with no help from mom or dad) and were riding the scooters within 24 hours. The helmets, we found out, were WAY too small so first thing Sunday morning we made a quick trip to Target for new helmets since the boys were talking about skating when they got out of bed that morning. They are quite the sight and a little faster than I was hoping they would be!
