No, that is not puke...it's bananas

That's right...Aiden had his first cold last week. All I can say is those colds are no fun and I believe they are worse on the parents than the baby! We really can't complain b/c he didn't cry a lot or keep us up ALL night he just wanted to be held and was not his happy self all day. He did get up throughout the night which is unusual for him but wasn't too bad b/c he would fall right back to sleep after a quick bottle and a little TLC.
Even with a cold, Aiden has advanced to a walker!! He loves it although he doesn't really "walk" in it b/c he's not really sure what to do but he does like to sit in it, talk to and play with Elmo and Cookie Monster! He loves to sit in it while I am cooking, cleaning, dancing or whatever in the kitchen and while Mike and I are at the table, too cute!
this is his usual demeanor, happy and smiley :)

Aiden had his 4 month check up last week and the doctor's first words were, "wow you have a big boy on your hands". Not sure if he meant big height or big weight but either way, Aiden is a big boy! He is 17 pounds and nearly 27 inches long (he didn't want to cooperate and straighten his legs while the nurse was measuring him)! He got 3 more shots which he did not like but we managed to get through it.
We've had a busy few weeks...lots of family time now that Aiden is getting bigger and more interactive. He's grabby at just about anything and he's putting EVERYTHING he can grab in his mouth! The doctor told us that babies can get their first tooth anywhere from four months to a year...he seems to believe we're well on our way! Mike and I have started back to the gym! We have a nice routine down and it's working out very nicely...I go by myself some nights while Mike stays home with Aiden and Mike goes by himself and I stay home the other nights. On Saturday mornings we go together and Grandma watches Aiden for us! Hopefully we'll have beach ready bodies before we head to Sea Isle in July!
Mike's birthday was on the 6th and we had our first party since Aiden has been born. Our friends tell us that we have fun parties so I thought it would be fun to celebrate his birthday since we didn't do anything last year due to being pregnant. We had about 15 friends over and we had a great time! Mike's brother Chris was able to come after work and he always brings a good time! I will say that we are clearly not as young as we once were and not drinking for 9+ months really decreases your tolerance!
Two quick things we've done since the last post...
* took Aiden to his first Auto and Boat Show at the Farmshow in Harrisburg (he slept most of the time so he didn't get to see all the lavishly expensive cars)
* took Aiden to his first indoor semi-pro football game (the Harrisburg Stampede) not a fun trip for mommy b/c daddy was there working with Dan and it was a loooong walk from the car to the door w/ a 17 pound squirmy baby wrapped in a blanket with a winter coat on a chilly night but it was still a good time with our friends Kris and baby Dylan.
someone has learned the art of "raspberries"
"now which one of these makes this thing move?"

At the car show, that's me in some $50,000 silver car, I know Mike will be so mad that I have no idea what kind of car it is but if it was a pair of shoes or a purse I would know exaclty what kind it was...(just ignore the man with Steelers jacket, it was Super Bowl Sunday and I really wanted to beat up every single person in that place that was wearing black and gold)...and there's me in the same fancy silver car laughing b/c I couldn't get out of the bucket seats! needless to say, I'm glad I wasn't wearing a skirt!
