Chinese soup party

PoPo threw Aiden a little party for all of the family to meet him - what a day to meet so many new faces and try some very unique and special Chinese soups.

Well we've had a little hiatus from the blog writing this past month, in part because we've had so much going on. We drove down to Santa Cruz to meet up with the Corniea's, Goren's, Scovatti's and Pops/Mimi at the beach house. Aiden got to meet a lot of new faces including his new cousins and got to experience mom and dad's old stomping grounds (Cookie Co., Pizza My Heart, Planet Fresh Burritos, Blue Lagoon, Spokesman bike shop to just name a few) and we even got to introduce him to some Santa Cruz weirdness. Since the weather has been so nice we've been out exploring some of the trails on Mt. Tam with the new BOB stroller (BTW, if you're reading this and about to have a little one you should definitely plan to get a BOB and Snap 'n Go strollers, they're brilliant at making your life easier). Aiden still loves to cry and turns into what Pops likes to call him the Little Red Man but he has certainly taken on more of a mellow presence as well and he's grown to love his swing and some other gizmos we have around the house especially the ones with things that move in front of his face. He's started to love standing (while supported of course) but hasn't really taken to tummy time yet so we think he'll probably skip crawling and just start running, ha. Mommy has been singing Aiden some songs recently and he absolutely loves that, he coos and smiles, in fact he seems to coo all the time now a days, mommy is doing her best to get the mommy plug in there to have that be his first word so we'll see what actually turns out. We've even had some new visitors of late and even more exciting is that they're both expecting themselves (Andy/Jenn and Ben/Keleigh) - Andy even mastered the calming hold compliments of Dr. Joffey. One other pretty cool thing is that we got a letter from the Obama's and the White House welcoming Aiden to the world.
