Breaking the Silence Part IV

















AIDAN:
This sweet kid-o was born August 2 - so he's now 8 months old. It's amazing how time flies. You'd never know he started out skinny with little frog legs cuz he now matches the other 3 in the chunky baby category. You just wanna squeeze those cheeks! (Both sets of them!)

Aidan is a VERY social baby. He has craved eye-contact from a very young age. That's all it takes to get a big, wide, slobbery grin from him. He's a momma's boy, but that's to be expected at this stage in the game, right? He does hang out during late-night sports recaps with daddy. He's sitting up and a nudge away from crawling. His legs are (and always have been) strong - so we wonder if he'll skip the crawling all together. 

All the kids are in love with Aidan. Even with the transformation Jackson went through when Aidan was born, there was NEVER an ounce of jealousy. Jack's never had anything but kisses and hugs for him. That has been a serious relief for me and Dan. Could you imagine if he was upset to have another baby around? I don't even want to try. But now that our family is complete, it's fun to see all the kids interact. Harrison and Emery are HUGE helpers. Short of changing diapers and nursing, they take great care of Aidan. 

So - the final tally is:
Brown hair (as babies) 3 / Blonde hair 3 (Tie)
Brown eyes 3 / Blue eyes 3 (Tie)
Girls 2 / Boys 4 (Girls win - girls ALWAYS win!!!)
