Week 7

We have had lots of fun this past week. Besides the fact that Aiden is now rolling over, reaching and grabbing for toys, and being awake other than for feedings, we have had lots of other fun experiences!
First, we took a trip to the Newport aquarium, which I'm not sure was worth it in the after thoughts. It was a very long drive and afterward Aiden had a low grade temperature and didn't straighten out for three days :-( But she is fine now and we have some nice pictures. It will be fun to show her pictures of her first big outing when she gets older. We did have a nice time, but I think next time we decide to take a big excursion we will have to take a few days instead of just one. That will give us more time and less rush- which always seems to be part of our lives as of late... can't imagine why ;-)
We also had Faythe's wedding this past Saturday. I can't believe Aiden and Ella slept through the whole thing! No screaming babies to interrupt the ceremony. A miracle! She was wide awake by the reception, however. We have some great pictures! Aiden absolutely LOVED dancing. It was so much fun. Dan did all the videography work. So we didn't get to spend much time together until the end, but we still had a good time. The happy couple looked like they had a great time too! All together a nice day!
After they got Faythe and Jared shipped off to Tennessee, Aunt Julie, Grandma Mary, Rachel and Ella came over for a visit. It was so sweet to watch the girls "play" together. I can't wait for them to get a little bit bigger. Ella is already taking an interest in Aiden, but Aiden hasn't quite noticed her yet. I'm sure by their next visit, Aiden will be up to a more interested interaction. Putting the girls side by side was so interesting. It makes it so much more apparent how long and skinny Aiden is... not at all like mom and dad! How funny! Maybe she'll be tall and skinny like uncle Matt?
