21 Months

 Aiden's 21st month.

Clothes: 2T & 3T
Diapers: size 6 but they don't seem much bigger than 6's so we will see.
Fav Food: Bananas, Oatmeal, Yogurt, Pb&j sandwiches, Pizza, Spaghetti, Eggs, Potatoes,  & Juice.
Things he says: Bye, Juice, Keys, Come on!, GO!, NO!, Please, Thank you- which sounds more like DeeDo, Ball, Daddy, Mama, Train, Hello, This, Drink- dink, Wow, More.
Fav shows/movies: Despicable 1 & 2, Curious George, Super Why.
Songs to sing with actions: 5 little monkeys- jumping on the bed & swinging in the tree, Insy Winsy Spider, Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes, If your happy & you know it.
Toys: He loves sticks or anything that resembles a one, balls, his train set, puzzles.

He loves to shower with his Daddy which is really nice. He had a bath last night and it wasn't so enjoyable for me- he splashed me which was funny for him but not so much for me.
He loves to go to nursery and is sad to leave when we pick him up.


 No matter how old he gets, I still think love taking pic of him asleep on our couch.


  Aiden likes to play with the blinds, so he climbs up onto the couch.

  Apparently there is no softer pillow then Mama's pregnant belly. He must have been pretty tired to fall asleep in the store.

  It took several attempts to get I'm to sleep with my jacket under his head instead of my belly.

  Sometimes I get lucky and he decides not to be camera shy.

  Lately he has been a little Mamma smuggler.

  This Christmas we decided to do our own little Christmas at home and then go visit family.

  He was super excited about his Strider. 

  So excited that he wouldn't get off of it to open more presents.

  Jerel got a 4 in 1 car jumper. I did a pretty good job picking his gift this year.

  Aiden also got a train set which he loves.


 I got a Bernina sewing machine!
  Cute puppy towel Grandma Nielsen got him with his name embroidered on it. When he gets out of the bath he barks like a dog. Pretty cute.



  Aiden wasn't exactly excited to get his picture taken.

  But at least we tried.

  Such a cutie!


 Giving Grandma Achatz Good Bye kisses. 
 Aiden got a dart gun from Grandma Nielsen. -Watching a movie looking down the barrel.
  He found Daddy's air plane and knew exactly how to work it.

  This little rascal hasn't been taking naps and almost always falls asleep in the car.

  Playing Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes with Grandpa Eldon.





 And then jumping off the couch. He would throw his hands up and say "Tada" when he was done.
