8 months!

Warning this is a long post!

Aiden is now 8 months old! I can't believe it! I know I say that every month, but it truly feels like I JUST had him!
Stats:
Weight: 26 pounds
Length: 30 inches
Size 4 diapers
18-24 month clothes. Shirts 18 month, Onesies 24 month, Pants 24 but he's in the 18 month length, so I'm having to roll them.

Sleeping pattern: 9pm-7am
Eating pattern: 4-5 5oz bottles, and 2 things of baby food a day. I'm trying to increase that to 3, but with teething and the cold we are lucky to get in 1 a day.

Milestones:
*7 teeth
*Starting to crawl on his knees, except when he has baggy pants on
*Starting to feed himself
*Starting to get the hang of sippy cups

Likes:
*Following Mommy around the house when she's cleaning
*Going into Murphy's area and attacking his bowls
*Anything with drawers
*Being outside in my Pack n Play

Dislikes:
*When Mommy and Daddy won't let me do what I want
*Waking up in my room and my bottle not ready and Mommy or Daddy immediately there
*Teething
*Stuffy noses...that suction thing is the devil

He's growing up so fast! I truly believe he is a Momma's boy hardcore, unless Grande comes around. He loves him! Then he does from time to time love to give Gabby the stink eye. It's funny!

Yesterday, Bama had a tough lost! But South Carolina was just on fire! They deserved to win. Oh well, hopefully this will wake up the boys to win the rest of the games. Just wonder how much we will drop....But before all this we packed up and headed to the agricenter to the pumpkin patch. Well, they wouldn't let us out the actual patch, but they had the Farmer's Market looking soooo cute! Pumpkins, squash, Mums, hay, petting zoo, etc all there. It was a great fall setup! Next year we will do the hayride, pumpkin painting, and corn maze. We got some cute pics but the sun was just AWFUL...so maybe in a week or two it will be overcast and we will try a redo.

These shots were funny....OHHHH HAY!! I must eat the hay!....No Aiden don't eat that!......Mommy! You are so not cool right now!!! (Thanks for the stink eye Aiden, I love you too!)

However, I do want to go back sometime and get some of those Mums for the front porch. They were BEAUTIFUL and not that expensive. The crimson one won me over. I guess Bama is deep in my blood. :-)

Today, I spent the day cleaning, laundry, and painting the new attic stairs door white with little man following me from room to room. It was hilarious, but I got a lot done. Plus before Wes heading to my game we both washed my car and Aiden watched from his Pack n Play. GREAT and BEAUTIFUL day!! Then later we headed over to Gabby and Grande's so Aiden could see his cousins Lily and Harlee. That was too cute. Harlee started screeching when she saw Aiden (she's 6 months). She's sooo tiny! Like 16 pounds, and Aiden would just rip toys out her hands.....he hasn't quite got the hang of sharing. Opps! He will learn.

I even pulled out my "Halloween/Thanksgiving" decorations. It's not much but I still like them.


Now its off to get ready for DEXTER! YAH! So I leave with some random pictures of Aiden and Murph enjoying his new bed.
