These past few weeks have just flown by, as do they all as it has seemed lately. Aidie is now seven months old. Every day I am with her I feel like she has grown a mile and developed a year's worth. I still can't believe she is mine some times, but most of the time it is REALLY obvious: Karma is paying me back for all I put into this world...



Aiden is an official mover, get into-er, and trouble maker! Pictured below is my troublesome two. Aiden crawling and Cainy walking beside her, protecting or encouraging the trouble making, we are not sure.
She is now pulling up to standing! Thank goodness we lowered the crib when she was only getting to her her knees, as featured below. She went from on her knees to feet in one day. This child knows what she wants and how to get there and she is going!
Her hair is also growing a mile a minute! It is super long now. What we thought might be cradle cap seems to have almost disappeared by us washing her hair more often. I would have thought that would make it worse, but apparently not. Regardless, it is now down to the middle of her shoulder blades and makes for exceptionally cute pig tails!
As we see in this photo, more proof she is a trouble maker. She is tugging on cords, her now favorite thing to do.We have to get those fancy outlet covers that allow for cords. Something, anything, I just don't know how else to keep her from pulling them out of the wall! Besides chasing her around constantly!Daddy and Aidie have way too much fun when they are home together. Here daddy and Aidie are playing swords! Unfortunately the fun and so obviously Dan pictures will end shortly as daddy is taking a position as Cook the beginning of December and will be working days and Aidie will finally start daycare once mommy finds a job!

We have had so many visitors, as always, and I must post our thank yous for the company! Cousin Jilly and Daniel stopped by. Aidie was in a super serious mood (as her stranger anxiety has made even more apparent) and didn't allow holding until the end of the visit. Poor Jilly, it was like the Betul incident all over again. I just feel so bad, but she is just having some attachment issues. Apparently this is not an issue so much if I am not there, but if I am, I am an option and so she wants me and only me!
Auntie Lilly stopped by, as she is taking a couple classes once a week at IU this fall! Yippee! We have missed Lilly and hope she can convince Kim to pop in next time. We miss all of our friends and love the visits! Fortunately, Aidie was in a charming mood, which made for some hysterical pictures!
Here we have featured Aidie Ryelle with Auntie Pam on momma's 24th birthday. Oddly enough, we have no pictures of Aidie and mommy on mommy's birthday... but this is so sweet! The sadness ends. I love it!

A super sweet grandparent love moment. These two were wonderful when we took Aidie up to Riley this past week. Hip Hip Hooray! We are not in need of surgery! Apparently, and this will sound odd, it is something she will hopefully grow out of. The doctor said he believes I had overly nutritious milk to the extreme! He thinks her body just wanted to absorb every last drop and so it left no moisture to allow smooth passage. Thus this has transferred over with formula. We are trying to wean her off of Miralax, which I think will work well, we have already cut down to a teaspoon and I will do more I think.
We also found out that she has a heart murmur and a carrot allergy. Both, she should grow out of! The murmur is minor and should heal up on its own. The carrot allergy we found out as she broke out and spiked a fever as we tried them a second time. The first time she just broke out. I guess no more carrots for Aidie!
