At first you seemed okay with Harper...in that you pretty much ignored her. But she only grew more and more interested with (and the kid at the table behind us).
But, she was a persistent little lady...and found the outer limits of your baby bubble. Then you deployed your best defensive stink eye. Or is that an "I'm scared" look!
Yeah. That's definitely a 'scared' look. Either way, we will have to hang out with Heather, Justin and Harper more often! And beg Jen and Buck to visit from Seattle more often!
And guess what? On Friday night YOU SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT!!!! We put you to bed at around 9 and you slept until 8:30 am!!
On Saturday morning we went to hang out with Josh and went to the bird store to check out a Mccaw parrot. You got to see all the beautiful birds hopping around and chirping while. You were pretty much amazed by all the activity, noise and color in that store.
The bird looked like this. Josh and Amy may name her "Roscoe"
Then on Saturday night we had a BBQ with your Aunts and Uncles, but you slept through the whole thing! Another great night's sleep for Aidan!Another cool part of being 14 weeks old is that you got a whole new wardrobe! Well, not new. But we were finally able to crack open the storage box of clothes for 3 - 6 month old babies because your 0-3 month supply was too small!
Finally you were able to wear the Yellow Submarine onesie that Aunt Sham got for you before you were born!!
Well, you can smile about it, Mr. Serious!To lighten the mood, we had a little daddy and me time. And we got some good smiles out of you!
What a handsome boy in your Yellow Submarine shirt!And, since you're 14 weeks old, you have to do your exercises too! You and Mommy did more and more tummy time too! And you got so good at holding your head up and even practiced standing on your tippy toes!
That's right-- that's a new play mat! We saw it on a friend's blog and decided that we were tired of letting you play on the floor on a pile of blankets and yoga mats. So we headed off to Buy Buy Baby and got you this cool multicolored mat, which will also be a puzzle for you to put together once you get older. But for now, it just makes Tummy Time that much more fun (and more successful).As if Tummy Time weren't fun enough already, we decided that - since it was such a hot weekend, and since we were already getting invitations to go swimming and people's pools- that we had to test the waters...literally.
So I blew up the old inflatable pool and we suited you up and hoped for the best.
We looked the part...now to do the old toe test.One toe in the water...pretty good...
Let's try two feet in the water! Hmmm...still considering it...
But not hating it. So, that gave me the courage to try a little more:
Not too bad, this pool thing...
Not too bad at all!
Up above the waist and we're still a thumbs up! Now for the whole submerge!
Success! You LOVED swimming! You and I swam in the pool for a good 30 minutes...splashing and floating and letting it all hang out!
You absolutely loved Swimming time!In fact, you loved it so much that before dumping out the water the next day, we went for another swim, which went over just as well! (Except that you peed all over your swimsuit and threw up in the pool-- but, hey, we're still figuring this whole thing out!)
And the rest of the week was a success too! You slept through the night two more times, had dinner with Mimi and Pops and again with Nanneh and Baba.
You got to wear a whole lot more big boy outfits and play with some new big boy toys that we unearthed from storage for you, including the one-man-band Turtle you love and the Eric Carle froggy!
Sorry that you kind of blend in there!
and...tomorrow... you're taking your very first road trip all the way down to Houston, TX to see your Uncles, Aunts and Cousins!
We'll definitely have some stories to tell for week 15! But, for now, it's bath time on a Thursday night! Oh, by the way, you also are taking big boy baths...no more hammock in the bath tub! What a monumental week!
