Hello everyone and welcome back to tales of our little man! Well as the title would suggest his vocabulary has become a little more comprehensive. Pretty much all day long we hear, "dadadadada" and the occasional, "mamama" but the most distinguisable is "nana" which of course is his version of "NO" and now "Hi-Da" which he says when he is waving at himself in the mirror. LOL! He's such a ham! Any opportunity he has to wave at someone or something he loves. I tell ya this kid is a terrible flirt. Perhaps the funniest part of it all is that he hasn't quite figured out that inanimate objects don't wave back and he becomes very frustrated when he's continually waving and try as he might he just can't seem to get that exercise machine or vaccuum cleaner to wave back, huh go figure. 
So what could be more fun then learning lots of new noises and words? Well that's easy - learning how fun it is to make your voice echo in the fun hallways in Las Vegas! That's right the Wolf family traveled to Vegas in celebration of Christina's 21st and the fact that we all haven't been together in a quite some time. Aiden loved it! The food, the lights, spending time with his family and finally meeting his Uncle Nick and Aunt Crystal. Although I don't think he enjoyed anything more than playing with Dylan - they did so well together and watching Aiden's face light up everytime he saw his cousin was priceless.
As if traveling and talking weren't enough the boy is totally mobile and working on giving his mommy a heart attack every day. He's still just doing the army crawl, every now and again he'll venture to an actual crawl, but then gives up because his way is simply faster. He's also venturing into the world of pulling up. He tries it on everything and I mean everything. For us it's a whole new world of baby proofing. Just when I thought things were starting to look safe and alright, there he is showing me more and more things to put away, push back or simply hold down while he tries to test it. 
Today was also a first for him when he hiked his butt up in the air and managed to put himself in the sitting position. He truly is so smart and strong, it's a blast watching him! On a sadder note our little dude has gone through a couple of hard times, too. A few weeks ago he suffered through the stomach flu and I have never felt so helpless in my life. Watching him go through that and being able to do very little for him was awful. But he amazed me to no end. Just by seeing him you would have never guessed he was so miserable - the kid is all smiles. Then when we tried to venture out the other day my little man had a total melt down, very unlike him, and spent the rest of the afternoon fussing. So Dave and I took him to the doctor and he has an ear infection in both ears! 
So if by some chance it doesn't seem that his appetite for life is strong enough then his appetite for food more than makes up for it. This kid can really pack it away! I don't know where it goes! I mean if he see's it, he wants it and if it is not in his mouth within seconds oh the noises he makes to let you know he's dissatisfied are hilarious! His face turns red, he grunts and groans, but perhaps the funniest part is when he starts hitting his tray and his mouth is wide open. Oh and if that's not enough, now he helps you - but pushing the food furthur in his mouth, getting it on his hands and smearing it everywhere - ahhh he's a hoot!
Well hopefully these pictures are enough to curb everyone's appetite for a while, sorry the blog was so random this go around - it's been a crazy few weeks. Hope everyone is doing well, we love and miss you all. Please keep us in your prayers and thoughts! =0) Oh and Happy Easter!
