"It's time to partay!"

Aidan held up a baton today that I bought for him at the dollar store when I was placing orders for the balloons for his birthday party. He said, "My get this for my party." I was so amazed that he could remember something from nearly six months ago like that! Then he said, "Mommy, it's time to parrrtay!" I thank goodness that I didn't have anything in my mouth because I surely would have died from choking to death. I laughed and laughed. He's such a ham that he just danced around the room repeating himself.

On another note... two HUGE temper tantrums today from Aidan. One at Target and one on the stairs - his time out spot. He was crying and crying on the stairs, and I told him he couldn't get off the stairs until he was done crying. I tried to encourage him to stop by asking, "Are you done crying?" He replied, "NO MOMMY!" Well, at least he's honest... :-)

We rode bikes outside today for almost an hour. Aidan is getting SO good on his. I am so grateful that we started therapy for him. It has made such a huge difference in such a short amount of time. While we were outside today, he was telling me something, and I could understand him. What I did understand was when he said, "Forget it!" Where or where do they get these things???

Austin had a big sleeping day today. He is so great at putting himself to sleep. He actually prefers it. When he gets sleepy, he'll get fussy until I lay him down and give him his pacifier. It's so cute... and such a change from Aidan! :-)

Austin had some great tummy time today. He was pushing his head and tummy completely off the floor and even trying to scoot a little bit. When he's on his back, he can turn his body 180 degrees by sliding around. I'm struggling a little bit with ways to entertain him. He is beginning to sit in his swing and bouncer seats for very short periods of time. He prefers to lay on his back and "talk". He is drooling up a storm, so the teething process has begun! He will wake me up at night from how loud he is when he sucks on his hands. He claps them together and then sucks on them. It's really cute! :-)

Tomorrow is gymnastics for Aidan in the morning and then a birthday party in the afternoon. We have a busy Saturday... good thing because Daddy is working, so it will help pass the time!
