Our Little Mover

Dear Ayden,

It's been a while since I've written to you just to tell you what's going on :) So, let's do that!

You are almost 8 months old now!!! :o Crazy! You are all over the place, baby!! haha you're such a little mover, you always have been. You learned how to crawl on July 23, 2014 and ever since then you have been going, going, going! You tire your mommy and daddy out makin us chase you all over the place :) You're so much fun though! Sometimes you'll be taking off and I'll say "Ayden come back baby!! Help mama, I need you!" and you'll just look back at me and smile slyly and just turn right back around and keep going! haha it's so cute when you do decide to come back to me and play for a minute and make sure I'm ok :)

You climb up everything!! Up the side of the couch you go, up Meeko, up daddy and me, up boxes and anything on the floor that has a little height to it haha and oh! Especially, you climb up the side of your crib! Daddy and I moved the crib down one slot because we realized you had learned to climb up it. I thought for sure that would help you stay down..yeah, no! haha I looked in one morning and you still found some way to climb up the side! You can even climb up our stairs! I did not expect that one haha You're unstoppable :) You're my little crazy, adventurous girl and I love you so much!!! :)

I think that's a good way to describe you..unstoppable. In so many ways. I think that's the way I'll explain things to you when you grow up a little. That you have always been your own person. You blaze your own path and are unstoppable! You can do anything you set your mind to! You're always surprising me with the way you do things! I'll think, "ok, she shouldn't be able to climb up that" or "it'll be a while before she gets to that point" and you're always pulling the rug out from under me and saying "what was that mom? I couldn't do what now??" haha I will not be setting limits to what you can do, girlfriend :) You're amazing and have always exceeded anything your dad or I could have imagined! I never thought I could be so blessed!! I love you so much my sweet little Bug! You have your dad and I just wrapped around your little fingers, sweetie! Ever since the first moment I saw you, I was smitten, I still am, and always will be :)

Love, Mom
