Busy, busy, busy

Life has been just that, busy. School, Jake working two jobs and a mobile baby make for a crazy life. Not to mention that we are kicking ourselves for not opting for the bigger apartment when we first moved in. We are trying to figure out what our next move is going to be when our lease is up in August. School is going well, almost done with MCC and I say that with a huge sign of relief! On to NAU! Right now I am taking a public speaking class twice a week and although I was dreading it, it's not too bad and I have an awesome teacher. Jake is still busy being super fiance/dad and working two jobs. We are still trying to figure out the major details to our wedding, such as a date! Since we are really thinking about Hawaii, we can't book until 11 months in advance so since we want a March/April (of next year wedding) we can't officially pick a date for a few more months. It's frustrating so I have been attempting to plan the reception which we are having here to celebrate with everyone else! PARTY! :)

News on Aiden, he is eating solid food about two times a day and is still breastfeed the rest of the day. Mostly right before his naps and bedtime. This kid loves to eat and LOVES baby food meat. Which blows my mind because it smells horrendous! His newest love are the gerber baby puffs. They melt in his mouth which gives me a little peace of mind that he won't choke. He can chew them even though he still has no teeth! He gets so excited when I pull them out and shake the container. His weight gain has slowed down and I am assuming that is because he is mobile. When I say mobile, I mean MOBILE. This kid can get across the room as fast as I can blink. It's insane and it scares the crap out of me!

I will have to upload pictures later, my phone automatically uploads my pictures to my photobucket but since that is full, I have to delete some to get the newer ones on there!

From here....to there.

Aiden has become mobile and he LOVES it. I can no longer set him on the floor to play and know that he will stay there. A good example......

It is pretty hard to tell from this picture but he had crawled/wiggled his way across the room! Here is his other new trick.....

That's right, he is officially able to pull himself to a standing position and he is very proud of himself. Now that he is more comfortable with standing he will pull himself up and then do a little dance. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever, I just need to get it on tape.

In other updates, Aiden figured out how to clap, I was clapping yesterday and he started mimicking me. It made me so excited I squealed like a little kid and he started laughing. Aiden is also eating baby food twice a day now and he loves it! He's a big veggies eater but LOVES baby food meat. (YUCK!) It smells disgusting but you would never have guessed it with how he eats it.

My Aunt and Uncle bought us two different high chairs. The one in the picture above is his portable one that I use when I am in the living room with him so I can watch my TV show! haha The other one obviously stays in the kitchen.

Here are some other random pictures, I haven't updated in a while so I figure why not! :)

Jake's parents got a new puppy, he loved her. Photobucket

Cool race car at the mall! Photobucket

This is the best investment we have made I think so far, it's called a fisher price cruise and crawl magical jungle. It makes noise when you hit the monkeys hands and comes with balls that go down the ramp in the center. He has also figured out how to pull himself up on this as well! Photobucket
