Oops! I blogged too soon. The sun is gone and all we have left is the fog. NO blue sky, no yellow object up there, missed opportunity. Oh well. At least it isn’t raining yet. We still might be able to go on the swings yet today. Maybe after his Nobs’ nap.

It is really too bad that Anthony and I are so sleep deprived because the sun is finally out. There are still clouds in the sky but the sun is definitely making an appearance. We really should take Aidan outside so he can see what this wondrous yellow object in the sky is. And blue, is that a colour he hasn’t seen in the sky in a dog’s age.

I guess we will have to suck up the tiredness and go outside for a walk. Hmm, maybe this is a good day to see if Aidan likes the swings. We will keep you posted.

It is always fun for Aidan during bath time but I have found something that makes it easier and more fun for Mommy. How do you make bath time safer and more contained? Why use your laundry basket of course.

I was reading my “blogging baby” and there was another mother talking about he son outgrowing his baby bath tub and what she now uses. (She also has no space for extra stuff.) I was reading this just before I put Aidan in the bath tub and I thought “what a great idea.” It was indeed.

Aidan can reach all his toys, he is not slipping, he has a place to put his hands and a place to brace his feet. What more could a boy ask for. Oh yeah, it also is usable for other tasks and it rinses and dries quickly. What a great idea.

Aidan was having so much fun that both cats came to check him out but Andromeda was the most interested. I guess that she likes the “captive” audience.

What do you think of these pictures? Could one of these be the one for the “beautiful baby” search?

Today Aidan has proved that nothing and nowhere is safe in the house. He has figured out how to consistently pull himself up anywhere. He started by pulling himself up on the chairs that we have blocking him from the fireplace and the dining room. I thought no problem this makes sense. Then Aidan pulled himself up at the small coffee table that has Tammy’s present on it. He seems to think that anything that is wrapped must be for him, so he decided to start unwrapping it for himself. Luckily I am still faster than he is.

So, you are thinking what next? Well, he then pulled himself up to the larger coffee table and wrecked havoc on a piece of paper. Then I need to change the boy so he got some time in his crib while I got some things ready. He now can pull himself up in his crib again. We now need to check the height on the mattress again (there is one more lower setting.) I thought that he would still be unable to pull himself up in the playpen because he ends up with his face mashed in the mesh. No, wrong again as you can see. This is a later photograph, I think that the space suit was the really helper in the pull up marathon. I think that it gave him confidence. Anyway, here is some photographic evidence for all of you back home.
