Aiden is officially 9 months old! At his well baby visit he weighed in at 18 lbs 9 oz and 28.7 inches long. He took his two boosters and flu shot like a soldier.... with just a short wail. =)
New Developments:
1. Still doing the army crawl, but incorporating more of a reciprocal motion with his arms and legs. Very efficient... he's pretty quick now!
2. Can pull himself up to a standing position. He especially
likes to use Daddy and Mommy as an impromptu jungle gym
to achieve this position.
3. He's very naughty! I'm pretty sure Aiden knows the word "no" now... or can at least tell by the tone in our voice that he's doing something he's not suppose to be doing. He definitely tests his limits. But he's so darn cute, how can you be mad? I have to try pretty hard to make sure he doesn't see me giggle or grin when he is trying to be defiant.
4. He gives the most wonderful, don't-ever-let-me-go hugs. AND, he's learned how to give kisses!! It's the best!
5. A tooth is trying to pop through!
Another first for Aiden was dressing up for his first Halloween!!! Vic and I decided on a tiger since that is Aiden's Chinese Zodiac animal. We decided to surprise Grandpa and Grandma with a visit that evening, which ended up as a fun trick or treat adventure with Grandpa.
Aiden LOVES his Grandpa!!
And he LOVES his Grandma!!
Here are some fun pictures of our little tiger:
Our tiger in the jungle!!
We also took the opportunity to take some 9 month pictures of Aiden. He's such a cute ham.
It's hard to believe that in three months Aiden will be one year old. Holy cow! Where did the time go? I'm in the process of planning his Korean Doljabi with a Vietnamese twist. I was definitely torn about having a traditional Korean first birthday party without my mom here, but my brother and Vic both agreed that it is something that she would want me to have. It'll be tough planning it without my mom's expertise, but luckily I have a great support system to help me!
Looking back at the past 9 months, it is amazing how much our life has changed. Vic and I often ask each other, what in the world did we do before Aiden!!?? Life is good!!
