Celebrity

Sorry I don't have the link but Aiden made his first appearance in the newspaper today- The Jackson Sun. I took a picture so you can see it!

Also Brandon really wants me to let everyone know Aiden has accomplished saying DaDa! He will look at me and Brandon and repeat MaMa DaDa MaMa DaDa...... it is so great!

Another GREAT accomplishment- he is scooting everywhere. He is trying so hard to crawl but just can't get the hang of putting his knees under him. , hopefully soon!

6 month old professional pic

Here a FEW of Aiden's 6 month professional pics (we are a little late on getting them made).

Mom- Ma

Well Aiden has now spoke his first word......Mom Ma. My (Renee) mother and I were shopping this weekend and as I walked away from my mother and Aiden I heard this voice (very familiar) say Ma Ma Ma Ma. I ran back over to my mother because I was very shocked Aiden was saying a new syllable- M. Now when I leave a room, you immediatly hear MOM- MA! When he wakes in the morning he will lay in his bed and yell Mom Ma Mom Ma Mom Ma.
There is NOTHING in the entire world better than the first time your child says your name. I was very shocked considering most children's first words are dada. We are working VERY hard on Da Da and everytime he says MomMa Brandon is quick to respond to him with "DaDa".

I also got new camera this weekend and was so excited to post all my pics and instead of pushing the upload button on my computer I pressed format and there went all my pics. I will get more ASAP!

and the search continues

We had a very strange discovery this week- Aiden loves the sippy cup; Aiden hates juice! For a child that at 6 months old can eat more than mommy or daddy, not liking juice is very strange to me. I found this out simply by putting water in Aidens cup and watching him go to town drinking on it. Aiden has always liked water from my cup but most babies don't prefer water over juice- Thank goodness Aiden does (for now atleast)! This is the first time in 15 months Aiden has saved me money! :)

This week was my (Renee) birthday and Aiden gave me the best card any mother could ever ask for. I took pictures for everyone to see! Even though birthdays are always fun and the week should be enjoyable this week was a HORRIBLE week for the Cox family. We are still living with my parents (but very ready to have our own place and our little family back to it's normal routine). I mentioned we are going to build and yesterday was our scheduled day to have our house plans drawn up. At the beginning of the week all plans crumbled. The landowner we were buying land from decided not to sale. Makes it hard to build when we have no land and we know no one else in that area wanting to sale land, therefore we didn't get our home plans drawn. So here it is 2 weeks after our move and still no home, no decisions made, and still NO OPTIONS! Frustrated?? I would say so! Please keep our family in your prayers!

Sippy Cup Adventure

This weekend we tried taking on the sippy cup. It definitely did not work. Aiden was not the least bit interested in drinking juice. He would much rather have a bottle or water from a straw, but juice from a sippy cup..not happening right now! We took the stopper out of the cup and just let the juice drip into his mouth but he just did not like the apple juice. First time ever Aiden has rejected food or drink (besides rice). However I did find when I mixed rice (which he hates) with diluted juice he would destroy it in seconds. We had a great weekend but VERY busyfull of Birthday celebrations- Aunt Carolyns on the 10th, Cousin Baylee's on the 11th, and MOMMY'S on the 12th! Also you will notice the many different outfits in the pics- lately we have gone through 3-5 outfits a day!

He put his mouth on it and that was about it for the sippy cup and juice! He loves playing with mommy's phone so he got his own.

we can't wait until football seasonPlaying in his swing outsideOk mommy I'm ready to ride when are we going to the river! He loves this tube!Aiden and mommy getting ready for Baylee's birthday party!HANDSOME LITTLE MAN!

Camera Happy

Here are some fun pics from the past few weeks:

Something was very intriguing! Watching the computer Wanting to help mommy on the computer
Sleeping naked like he loves to do- with all his paci's! In need for a new camera to help my red eyes!
Aiden loves to grap onto my hair and give open mouth kisses to my nose, eyes, mouth, or anything else he can get!

Catching up on his news before he heads off to school

Ready to go to schooland very excited!

BYE BYE

We are all moved FINALLY! It was such a challenge but we are so glad it is over well until we move into our own home. Brandon is going Tuesday with someone to look about buying land to build. Building is ideally what we would like to do instead of buying something that needs addition, fixing, painting, or all the other wonderful things that come along with buying a new home.

Aiden learned to wave BYE BYE (hence the title of the blog) it is sooo funny to watch. At first he would only do it with Brandon but now he loves to wave at anyone that will wave to him. I have not been able to capture it on video or camera yet but as soon as I do I'll have pics up.

Finally Aiden will have another ball team player- Ashley (my best friend) is having a BOYY!!!!!
