Aidan was a difficult baby....a very, very difficult baby. Often I would call him Bug and say "it's cause he bugs me" (true mommy confession right there. Please don't hate). Of course I adored my little bug but he cried a lot, he needed every single ounce of my attention, he hated nursing, hated everything, hated diaper changes, hated getting dressed, hated his car seat. He just wasn't the loving bundle of joy I envisioned and yet I loved him with every ounce of my soul even though I couldn't understand him.
As he is getting older his little personality has started to come to the forefront and he is a little loving terror on two legs. There is never a dull moment and I rarely have a chance to sit or do much of anything while he is awake because I am constantly having to keep my eye on him! I will say on the flip side he has been the only baby other than Brinton that I have been able to lie down in a crib, walk away and have him fall asleep both nap and nighttime with minimal fuss starting at 6 months. In that he has been an amazing baby.
True to his little self however he recently learned how to climb out of the pack and play where he sleeps, open the bedroom door, and come down the stairs with the happiest little grin like he is the most wonderful escape artist in the world. Today alone I put him down for a nap at least 7 times before he finally went down....or so I thought....the last time I laid him down and he seemed to finally want to go to sleep. He cuddled into his blankets and I went downstairs to do some dishes. About 10 minutes later I hear someone playing the piano!! Brinton was me so the only obvious explanation....
Aidan-bug!
I laughed so hard, then I took him right back upstairs and laid him down. He stayed sleeping for the next 1 1/2 hours. Shorter than normal but I got a couple of things done so I'm not complaining. Gosh, I love that boy! He sure does keep me on my toes!!
