Aiden has learned to grab things. Currently if a toy is held out in the front of him he will reach his hand trying to grab it. Also while being held, any clothes, jewelry, hair, and other surrounding objects tend to be fair game for Aiden’s grabs.
Besides holding things he is getting pretty good at passing objects from one hand into the next. Currently his favorite “small toy” is a set of colorful keys on the ring. While holding them, at times he gets angry which leads to vigorous shaking and throwing of the keys.
Since starting solid foods over a week ago Aiden became constipated for 48hrs. Apparently a normal occurrence, but of course Elliott and I got completely worried over it. After a full day of eating prune sauce Aided finally had his poo-poo. We never thought we would be this happy over a diaper full of poo.
Aiden has also started teething. There are no visible teeth yet, but probably will appear soon. He loves to stick soft toys into his mouth, especially a purple giraffe that came as a part of his play land. He also seems to enjoy chewing on his burp cloth, especially if there is mommy’s finger behind it.
Mommy started teething together with Aiden. Even though all four wisdom teeth were removed years ago, a new one has showed up. It turned out to be a “paramolar”, which seems to be fairly rare.
