Things are going well!

Aidan is growing and changing everyday. It's fun to watch him discover new things. Daddy has helped him discover his love of baseball. Aidan loves it when you roll his little baseball to him and he "catches" it. Then of course Aidan's got to put it in his mouth to make sure the taste hasn't changed. He also loves to watch you play hot potatoe with the baseball. He really loves that baseball. I can tell it's going to be a long road ahead! Aidan's new way to communicate is through a series of grunts. Anytime he sees something that he wants or if he sees his baby food he purses his lips tightly and lets out very loud, deep grunts. It never fails when I bring him home after work and we hit that answering machine button to play our messages he laughs and grunts! It's pretty funny. Although I'm sure this could turn slightly embarrassing in public. Grandma Drane came down this week to watch Aidan while Brad is at the FCA baseball camp. I'm sure Aidan is being spoiled and loving every minute of it!!! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their summer!

Baby Leap Frog!

Nick had a great time singing a song for the family!
It's hard to believe there is only 5 months difference between Aidan and his newest cousin Ben.





IT'S OFFICIAL!
Aidan can now sit up on his own! It took some practice and a few face plants into the carpet, but he now has it pretty well mastered. We've also discovered that Aidan is a little Ham for the camera. As soon as he sees it, he's all smiles...even if he's crying he usually stops right away to put on his camera face! Papa (Grandpa Kocher) was down last week to watch some Spotsy High baseball games. Aidan loved having company. Aunt Judy was also down recently. She bought Aidan his very first "computer" (baby leap frog). Aidan wasn't quite sure what to think at first. In fact the first day, every time we would turn it on and start to read, he would cry. But by the next day he was all smiles. He loves to try and turn the pages all by himself! He's a real pro now. We were recently at the doctors for Aidan's 6 month checkup and he now weighs 17 lbs. 14 oz. Our next big event is Aidan's Baptism on June 18th. You're all invited and we'd love to have you come visit.
