We finished our Holiday travels today and arrived back home in Bluffton, South Carolina. Aidan immediately ran around the room reintroducing himself to all of his toys. Actually, the first thing he asked was, "My watch my videos?" After he was denied the television, he ran around expending the energy the car trip had pent up. He jumped off the couch, flipped off the couch, rolled off the couch, and dove off the couch on to his 80 pound teddy bear.
The night went sour when he took a spill on the tile while riding on a non-riding toy (whoops! - we made a note of that in our parenting "how to" book). It was a pretty bad fall, but he rebounded quicker than we could have imagined. In the middle of his cries, he asked, "My watch Toy Story?" Of course we gave in. A juice box and Toy Story video later, and he was fine.
Austin is enjoying his new "lovie" as we're calling it. It's a soft blanket/dog thing that we are using when he goes to sleep. It's like magic... as soon as he feels it, he closes his eyes. It's the equivalent of Jared's ear to Aidan. :-)
Jared and I have taken turns holding Austin while he sleeps tonight. It's one of those special things that is just so wonderful... I know we'll look back and treasure the hours we get to spend holding them. Austin is beginning to coo much more, and he has become quite the wiggle worm. He rolled from stomach to back for the first time tonight, but I cheated just a little by moving his arm out of the way for him. Won't put it in the
record book just yet...
Well... I'll leave it at that for now. Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds...
