Busy, Busy, Busy

In my last post, I mentioned I was taking a trip to Waterloo for Aiden's baptism. That was last weekend and everything went great. I got to spend time with Uncle Adrian, Aunt Jeni and Aiden while Mom and Dad went to a wedding reception. It was your typical night with 2 infants...lay us together...we play, you watch. You know how it goes. I got to show Adrian and Jeni how I eat bananas like a big boy and show off how my raspberries have improved. It was fun!

Then onto the baptism. Mom is Aiden's godmother. There were quite a few people in the church and there was lots of singing, which I enjoyed. I felt I controlled my behavior quite well. Unfortunately, I can only be entertained by dangling toys for so long. I said my peace with a loud raspberry and a couple whines and the next thing I know Dad and I are in this room and my diaper is getting changed. It turns out this room was a nursery and it had a saucer!!! Needless to say, Dad and I didn't make it back to the service. Afterwards, Mom found us. I was content playing and talking to this nice lady. Unfortunately, Dad was on his own as to why he didn't return to the service. It's a good thing I lasted long enough in the church so we were not gone too long. If I could talk this is where I would tell Dad, "you owe me."

Following the baptism we were off for Sunday brunch, which was fun. I got to hang out with all sorts of family. From uncles and aunts to great-grandparents. I had a great time. Aiden slept throughout the meal so I was able to take advantage of all the attention. I don't think that will last long so I'll take it when I can get it.

Now that we are home I continue to grow and grow. I am big enough to wear jeans and Mom thinks I look like a little man. Mom also went shopping for diapers and I am moving into size 4, which is labeled "little cruisers." Let's just say she had a moment! I've been cutting teeth and 1 finally came through. Sleeping is a little tough, but things could always be worse.

I just had my 6-month appointment and I am now 19.1 lbs and 27 1/2 inches long! I have been eating lots of sweet potatoes and bananas, which I love. I have the go ahead to start eating oatmeal cereal...I wonder if Mom thinks this will be the magic trick to sleeping through the night.

Now it's on to this cold weather and Mom has been really bundling me up. I guess this is my new outfit for the next few months.
Mom was able to get the x-mas tree up so I guess the next big thing that will be happening is my first x-mas.

Hope everyone is doing well and I'll be in touch later.

Love to all,

Simon
