Now that I'm back to work, Michelle and Aidan are quickly settling into a "normal" routine again. Michelle is displaying a great deal of enthusiam towards her new dance/tap class and her Gymboree art class. We're especially proud of her willingness to accept the classes more independently geared curriculum, though Mom is always sure to stay very near.

Aidan is getting ever bigger and is still quite the mellow and laid-back lil' dude. He's been expressing a great deal of interest in one of Sister's crafts lately, a rainbow mobile that hangs in our dining room. He loves to reach out and rock the mobile back and forth and does so with such intense concentration and determination.

Like Michelle once did around his age, Aidan has stopped allowing me to "hold him like a baby". He completely refuses to let me lay him down while holding him, opting instead to be held upright like the smart and curious baby that he is.

Both kids are very happy together and are always expressing a great deal of love and affection towards one another. Mom and Dad couldn't be happier right now!
