9 months in and 9 months out

Today marks the day that Aiden has been out in the real world as long as he was curled up in my belly. Now that I've spent 9 months getting to know him it's hard to remember a day when I only knew 'of' my little boy.

Aiden and I woke up early today and spent a few moments with papa before he left for work. During this short time Aiden took one step, twice. Our jaws hit the floor. When they say babies grow up over night, sometimes it's literally true. Aiden's days as a bear-crawler are very numbered. So are his days of having only two teeth--he's been teething and digging in his mouth like crazy!

Aiden's favorite things right now are:
- Anything that involves the cat, Poof!
- Cruising around with his cow wheely bug
- Eating Puff crackers
- Bear-Crawling at an alarmingly fast speed
- Eating dirt

While we spent some time on the porch basking in the morning sun, I captured 'Aiden: The Nine Month Old' in all his glory.
