As many of you know, life intervened in our vacation and has given us non-stop challenges with which to deal. I want to start keeping this blog again, but it may be difficult for a while longer. So for now, I just want to record a few firsts for myself --
December 31: Aidan waved for the first time
January 3: Aidan said Mama for the first time
March 15: Aidan said Dada for the first time
mid-February: He learned to pull up to standing in his crib and to cruise around a bit.
The last few days: He learned how to navigate the perimeter of the whole house cruising. He even holds onto walls to get around.
March 30: He played his first game of catch with Daddy. They rolled a volleyball back and forth between the two of them, and Aidan thought it was great fun.
There are more firsts to write about, but for now, those are the ones that I want to record.

sorry
I've been so remiss about posting Aidan updates. We have all been horribly sick for the last two weeks. Thank God we are about to leave tomorrow for our first vacation as a family -- a Caribbean getaway. I will post some cute Aidan beach pictures when I return. Hope everyone is having a good start to 2007!

FIRSTS
The "firsts" are coming fast and furious now. It's like being on a bullet train around here.
On New Year's Eve day, Aidan waved goodbye at Daddy for the first time. He has done it a few times since -- lifting his hand and jiggling it awkwardly when someone waves at him. Too cute.
But the biggest milestone is that he has said his first word. Yesterday he started to say "Mama" when we were together. At first I thought it was just another random syllable, like "babababa" and "yayaya" and all the other babble we've been hearing. But then he kept saying it, and only when I was around and when he wanted me or when I was holding him. His babysitter told me that he didn't say it at all when I was gone, but started again when I returned and he wanted me to pick him up. I'm thrilled. We're thrilled. What a huge achievement.
I will post some new pictures soon, hopefully tomorrow. For those of you reading, you can leave comments about any entry, and of course I'd love to hear some responses to all of our news. Shameless procuring, I know, but what can you expect?
