Aiden is most definitely on the move. He went from scooting a little on the floor to crawling on all fours in a week. John and I have both said that he is highly motivated to get things off the floor, perhaps more so than his brothers; however, maybe that is because there is more "stuff" on the floor to pick from. Either way, he is fast and has recently tried to climb the stairs, stand up in his crib, and climb the small plastic slide in the bonus room. I can no longer depend on one of the boys to be stationary and stay in one spot for two seconds!

We made our third trip to an apple/pumpkin orchard over the weekend. We are having an unseasonably warm October and we have really enjoyed being able to do a lot outside. This time last year we already had a small snowfall! We had temps in the 80's over the weekend so we made a trip out to another orchard that has lots and lots of animals to pet, feed, hold, etc...The boys (including Aiden) loved it except maybe the cows. Aiden screamed his head off when the cow mooed at him and apparently terrified him. Even the thought of going near the cows again was enough to put him in tears for awhile. Pretty funny to John and I...
