Teething . . . again?!?!

So I thought we were done with teething for a while, but the past week or so Aiden has constantly had his finger in his mouth and has been drooling all the time. I knew he had his full set of 16 baby teeth (shown) and at first I passed it off as tooth shifting; some of his teeth aren't completely in, and maybe were coming through more. Well after some research I found out that children can get their second molars as early as 22 months. I had heard from friends and family that they usually come around 2 1/2 or 3, but evidently Aiden's are coming soon! (he's almost 21 months) His baby teeth came in early- the complete set by about 18 months, so this isn't surprising. Like I said, I just thought we were done for a while. The diagram shows the full set of "baby" teeth (20 total). Currently, he has all but those second molars, but they should be popping up any time now!

Block Towers

Aiden loves playing with his blocks. When he first got them he loved to watch Mom or Dad build a tower and he could knock it down. Now he can build the towers himself, but the best part is still knocking them down. Sometimes he just likes to scatter them around the entire living room. He is such a boy!

Birthday Party Fun

On Saturday we celebrated our friends daughter's birthday at The Rock Ranch! It was such a neat place. Aiden loved it. It's a huge farm where families come and enjoy lots of games and shows. Aiden got to see and pet lots of stinky farm animals- he even rode a pony and fed a goat. We went thru a corn maze- or attempted to go thru anyway. Aiden got a little bored and it was really hard- lots of ways to get turned around. There were so many activities for kids, we only got to a portion of them. Aiden loved running around exploring everything. Of course we sang "Happy Birthday" to Bailey and had yummy cupcakes too!
