Top Ten Things I love About Aedan at 20 months

Since the purpose of this blog is for the older me--at whatever age--to read through posts and reminisce on all the joy and fun I had with my babies, then I felt it's time for a list of fun things I love about my little mister at this age. We all know how fast our babies grow up so here's a shot at helping me remember the little things that make my heart flutter throughout each day of being home with Aedan.

(Side note: If you haven't heard yet, I'm crazy about this child. Everything he does I adore and think is the most magnificent thing in the world. Below are just the top 10 things but they are totally subject to change at any given time. Enjoy!)


Top Ten Things I love About Aedan at 20 Months


#10 - The way he says birdie with a Boston accent. (Actually, I love the way he says anything with his Boston accent.)

#9 - How he helps Daddy around the house with his Fisher-Price drill set.

#8 - When he calls out Mama! from his crib to let me know he is awake from his precious slumber.

#7 - How he gets super excited about seeing the same people I get excited about.

#6 - How he gently touches Baby Zylah's head and then give her a sweet small kiss.

#5 - At any given moment he will blurt out a new word as clear as day that I didn't know he knew. (Yesterday it was coffee. Just came up, pointed to my mug, and said, "Mama's coffee.")

#4 - When I purposefully do an over-dramatic cry just to get a rise out of him and he then bursts into tears out of sympathy. (Works every time!)

#3 - Any time of the day when the Hokie Pokie song comes on Pandora we can stop what we are doing and dance it through. (Especially love it when I pop my hip during the hip in and out part and I knock him in the head and he flies to the floor. No tears, just little giggles.)

#2 - At random moments he comes to me speaking some baby gibberish, followed by some Mamas and then hugs and kisses me.

#1 - Even as he gets older, I love the way his eyes lock with mine when I nurse him to sleep just like they did when he was an infant. (This one is something I especially treasure since our days of nursing our dwindling fast.)
