I recognize the face, but I've never met the child I came home to. He put together all the skills he's picked up along the way and acted like a kid, not a baby. He stood up and sat down without any fear. Pulled up on everything he got near. He walked holding on to just one of my hands with solid, confident steps. He "chatted" the entire evening. And I really think he tried to mimic the word "kick" when I said it. (That would be Ryan's kid, saying something sports related for his first word.)
The last few days Aiden has been blowing his lips together like crazy. I tried (multiple times) to get it on video. I did capture it....but only for a few seconds (hence the 'finally' you'll hear). Doesn't do justice to the crazy noises he's been making, but it will give you an idea. Oh - and the drool - I sure hope I don't have to send the kid to kindergarten with a bib on. Ryan fixed a toy tonight and said he was pretty sure it broke because too much drool got in it. Yeah, ick. You can say it.
