So it's been a while...

Dan and I switched internet providers and we are now getting internet through Verizon. While that means that we get internet wherever we want, it also means that we have a usage limit before they start charging extra. As we used it up too quickly, we've had to conserve. This has meant, sadly, no blogging updates :-( But we are back and much more aware of how we can use our new internet situation. So we should have no problems in the future getting out the regular updates.
Any way...
Since we last updated A LOT has happened!
Continuing Week 7: We got a visit from Aunt Julie, Grandma Mary, Rachel and little Miss Ella! We had a great time watching the girls play. It was so fun to watch them interact a little bit. I can't wait until they get a little bit bigger and they really get interested in playing together! It was definitely funny to see how long Aiden is these days. She isn't ever around babies near her own age. So this was the first comparison I had seen of her next to a baby near her own age. Skinny and long... taking after Uncle Matt? It's a possibility!Week 8: This was fruit picking week! It seems all the berries decided to get ripe this week. So Aiden got her first "taste" of cherry picking. Aiden really enjoyed the outside time. We are coming to find out that our little girl seems to be at her best and happiest when she is spending time out of doors. It is so fun to see her come alive and get very interested in the things around her. She has been getting very awake... she stays up and is so interactive. We are having so much fun with her these days! She is also starting to sit up supported and drooling so much!Week 9: We started sucking our thumb! It's not a regular habit... she prefers the whole fist. She has been going crazy on her fingers. In fact she has been so determined to suck on her hands that she ends up gagging herself at least once a day... oh well. At least she's not puking. She is also eating SO much. We are eating about 3.5ounces every feeding, plus nursing! Hungry girl. We also got a visit from cousin Jilly this week. Yeah for visitors!Week 10: Happy Father's Day, Grammy's birthday and Mommy and Daddy's 2nd anniversary! This was a very busy week for us! First we had Daniel's first Father's Day. Aidie and I made daddy breakfast in bed and gave daddy the old starwars trilogy special collection blah blah blah. He was excited and will now stop bothering me about getting them on DVD. Dan had to work, so we saw our daddies/grandpas early in the day. We got some good pictures and Mark actually held Aiden again. I swear it's like pulling teeth to get that man to get close to his grandbaby, whereas I can hardly get her away from the other grandpa... crazy how different two people can be. We also have the last pictures of John with long hair. He has chopped it, prior to his trip to Chicago and looks like a grown man instead of teenage kid. I can't believe it!We also had Ryan and Danae's wedding this past week. Wow was it HOT!!! Either way we had a good time socializing, the bride was beautiful, the groom was the happiest I've ever seen him (which is saying a lot as I've known him forever) and the wedding party was sweating like crazy, but I think everyone had a fun and memorable day. Aiden was so well behaved and happy! No crying fits until the last half hour before we left. Plus the violinist played her her very own solo. Inspiration? Maybe.Other big updates- She is sleeping through the night!!! Eight hour stretches. She has been waking up at 6:30 sharp every day for the last week and a half. Early, but if she sleeps eight hours, I'm happy. She is also smiling at familiar faces. Every morning, I'm greeted with a big smile. I love the acknowledgement and love on her face. It is worth everything and anything!
