1. He can retain object permanence, meaning when an object is hidden under, say, a cloth, he'll pull the cloth away to find it! This can be cute, but also dangerous 'coz I can't hide his tubes of creams for his eczema away from his fast fingers and mouth.

2. When you put a finger to his lips, he'll make a continuous sound 'coz he knows you'll tap his lips so he can go "boo boo boo boo boo...boo boo boo boo boo..." Haha!

3. He crawls FAST. Pounds across the carpet floor to whatever piques his interest.

4. He understands No. Or rather, the tone associated with No. He'll pick up say, a power cord, and I'll call out "No, Aidan!" sternly, and he'll drop it, turn to look at me, or just pause and sits there. Then he'll try again. Cheeky boy!!

Anyhoos, yesterday we went to Stephen's birthday dressed as a pirate family! Yup, it was a Pirate-themed costume party, and boy did we look good! Me with my one hooped earring and b/w scarf wrapped around my head, EG with his loose white shirt and bandanna, and a faux parrot stuck to his shoulder (ok, it was a toy mandarin duck - and it quacks!), and little Aidan went as deck-swabber castaway boy - the lowest on the pirate pecking order. He was a cutie.


The 2nd one we were supposed to look like fierce pirates, but obviously Aidan and I misheard the instructions.
