A visit with Aiden John (AJ) at 19 months....

Aiden is actually sitting in timeout for ramming his car into people, but he is still smiling!
Aiden is often awake before Luke and Liam and he loves to sit at the kitchen table and look at books while I am getting things ready for breakfast. He is looking at his favorite book, The Napping House, which was a 1st birthday gift from Aunt Sarah, Uncle Jason, and Cousin Calvin.
Firetruck birthday party!! Luke and Liam attended a birthday party for a neighborhood friend of ours and they got to ride in a real firetruck.
A visit with AJ at 19 months and counting....
Favorite time of Day: Mornings are probably my best time of day. I can be pretty grumpy in the afternoons.
Favorite Snack: Goldfish crackers and Dried Yogurt puffs.
Favorite Toy: Anything electronic....but I don't like the toy ones, only the real thing. I will climb almost anything to get a cell phone, t.v. remote, camera, etc...Mom even found me hanging from her purse in the laundry room when I climbed up the bench and tried to get her cell phone in her purse on the coat rack.
Favorite Book: The Napping House
Favorite Food: Spaghetti and Breadsticks
Favorite Treat: Dum Dum suckers
Favorite People to Play with: Luke, Liam, Daddy, Mommy, and our neighbor Melissa ("Lilla" as AJ says).
Favorite Song: Happy Birthday
Favorite Comfort Item: Swaddle Blanket with his paci attached to it.
Favorite Movie: Toy Story
Favorite Outside Toy: Cozy Coupe Car
Favorite Words: Mommy, Daddy, LeeLee (Liam), Uke (Luke), Cheese (when smiling for camera), No, Mine, Candy, Juice, Elmo, Movie, Mote (remove), Ipah (Ipod), Blankie, Cow, Truck, Up, Down, Owie (over), Book, etc...Aiden already says a lot of words!
Aiden is a smart little guy and amazes John and I with what he knows for his age. His development is definitely ahead of Luke and Liam at this age. He already knows how to sit in time out and often spends a lot of time there because he can be very persistent. He can be sweet and hug on your neck one minute and then bang you over the head the next minute. He is happy, outgoing, loud, and rarely ever shy around even people he does not know. He has a devilish smile that he flashes when he is doing something he knows he should not be doing.
He loves Luke and Liam and they love him too and watch out for him everywhere we go. Recently, Aiden has been asking to hold Luke's hand as we cross the street to go places. Liam often brings Aiden his paci and blanket when he is upset. We have our rough moments as well, of course. Aiden was pitching a fit about something recently and it bothered Luke and Liam because he was screaming so loud. Luke looked at me and said, "Mommy, maybe we don't really need a baby."
