Aiden dancing to the chipmunks.

I wish I could do something about the lighting when I use my camera phone this is so cute. Aiden loves Alvin and the chickmunks!

We have had Aiden since last Friday!

Wow it's almost a week that we have had Aiden at our house. It's be so much fun. He is such a smart little guy. April always says I'm just byious because he his my grandson... Not!! He is just smart, he knows sign language and not just when prompted. On Sunday Dwight, Aiden and I went to go see his Great Grandma and Grandpa Hammond. He was soo cute. He was throwing the ball at any one that would put up their hands to catch it. Then he ran into the kitchen and came out again and signed more. Then he did it again. I asked him what do you want? He signed eat and ran into the kitchen again. So he not only told me what he wanted but he told me he knew where he could get some thing to eat. Grandma and Grandpa were just as surprised as Nana and Papa were. I had packed something to feed him because I knew he was going to get hungry while we were there, so I fed him.

Then there was a time that I had him take his diaper to Papa to throw away because Papa was in the kitchen and he ran to the garbage can in the kitchen and Papa helped him open it and Aiden threw his diaper away. Papa said, thank you and Aiden, who has been trying to say thank you many times says it as clear as a bell. Thank you, to Papa, I heard it too and Dwight and I looked at each other. You should have seen the look on Papa's face it was precious and we just smiled at each other and shook our heads, it was so cute. I swear I have heard him say other things before we thought was baby gibberish but the words are starting to make sense now, April I kid you not!!! He says NANA now and not when he wants a banana it's when he wants me. He has a word for Alicia now too some times it doesn't sound that way but other times it does.

He has been going outside everyday. He loves going BYE BYE. We have taken him for stroller rides and walks. On Sunday Alicia and I took him walking and we went around our block which happens to actually is two city blocks long, and he walked from our house all the way around until we got by that orange house on the corner, over on 6th. street. He also slept very well that afternoon. Today as soon as he finished eating and I let him out of his booster set he ran to the front door and went uh uh. So we are working on saying outside. I did teach him to sign again.
So like we are reading a book and we finish it, I ask him do you want to read again and I sign it.
At first I didn't think I was getting through to him and then after saying it to him and signing it to him he says yo say it and sign it, He is so cute, because then he will look up at you and give you this cheesy smile like he knows he did something right, More later gotta go.

Hey April & Kevin hope you are still having a good time....

And now Heeeerrrr's Aiden,

Nana's going to get you!!

When the movie first started it was more fun to watch Aiden than the movie, there was all this action, singing and dancing. Aiden was really getting into it he was laughing at the movie and dancing, but as usual by the time I started taping him he was content just watching. He really enjoyed it.

We also went for a walk outside today. He loved it we walked all the way to his cousin Darryl's house which is almost a full block from our house. The wind started blowing and the leaves would move and he would just stop and say oh oh. I would step on it and it would make a crushing noise and he would laugh. He doesn't mind the sidewalk but does not like walking in the grass. As we were walking by Jerome's a medium sized dog came out the door barking and I bent over to pick him up, but not fast enough for him, because the dog scared him and he started to scream, the owner just said he won't hurt him and I wanted to say no just traumatize the poor kid. But instead I said he is not use to dogs, just cats. He calmed down fast enough and started to say woof as we started to walk again. However he wanted me to hold him until we were almost home. He didn't want to go in when we got to the house. With that said I still think he's enjoying his stay with us. That's it for tonight.

These always look so much better on my phone.

I have changed my settings and I hope the next time I share video with you it will look a lot better.
