It's hard for me to believe that 6 months have passed since the day Aidan came into this world. On November 6, Aidan turned 6 months old. I was looking back at pictures of him from when we first brought him home. Although I don't see it sometimes because I'm with him everyday, he has gotten so big and has grown so much. It's amazing how quickly he has learned head control, then hand control, rolling over, then getting around the room in his army crawl. Nothing gets passed him; he is so interested and curious with his wide eyes. He gets so excited when his daddy gets home from work, he recognizes songs, he laughs at my different voices when I'm reading him a story. Yesterday, in the middle of the night, he woke up and I was changing his diaper. He started to cry and proceeded to look at me and give me the sign for "milk". He didn't won't his diaper changed, he wanted milk and he let me know it. That was pretty neat. Our first conversation. I'm loving being a mommy. I'm loving staying at home with him. It's a hard job, but definitely the most rewarding!

(I think this picture looks like Brandon. I have decided that although he has a lot of Hall features, the shape of his face is that of Brandon's so I see Brandon in him in certain expressions and profile pictures)
Aidan and I made a trip to Memphis to see Brian play in his final home game as a Memphis Tiger. We are proud of you, Uncle B! While we were visiting Nanny and Paw Paw, Aidan made his first visit to the Memphis Zoo. It was a beautiful day and Aidan enjoyed strolling around. We were really looking forward to seeing the monkeys but were a little disappointed that there was only one hollering monkey there. But the rest of the zoo was wonderful. We look forward to the Spring when we can go back and take William!

Aidan had his first play date. We got together with Riley Clements (3 months) and Elizabeth Ashley (9 months). Aidan was so excited to meet new, cute girls. Whenever he was on the floor with one of them, he would army crawl up to them and want to touch their faces. The girls were a little reserved, but got used to the wild man quickly.
