The Agony of Defeat

And so it was...after the votes were counted and the editors made their picks, Ayden's blog lost to a website that doled out cooking recipes.  It was an acrimonious loss for The Boy.  He now spends most of his time moping around mumbling, "cooking recipes?".  To add insult to injury, while perusing the kitchen at mi casa, Ayden stumbled upon the aforementioned recipes laying on the kitchen counter.  Mommy cheated.  Unbelievable. 

He is not vindictive by nature but he wants it to be known that he  has never liked Sumner Redstone, and he spends most of his day watching NBC anyway.  So there.

In three months, My baby doesn't speak English has been viewed over a thousand times in 11 countries.  We are very proud of that and want to thank everyone for their support.  Now on to the blog...

Ayden had a blast two week ago at camp.  He went swimming in the river, he slept by the campfire, and he howled with the coyotes.  We promised photos from the camp so here you go.
 

The Boy is now almost 5 months old.  Two days ago he started  rambling incessantly  to no one in particular.  He has discovered his voice.   

Tummy time is still a struggle and Ayden has yet to roll over.  Doc said fat babies take longer, and in some cases it will be 9 months.   The Boy can almost stand on his own and there is a chance he could walk before he crawls.  How bad ass would that be. 

Now for Ayden's tip of the week...

All parents should invest in a video baby monitor.  The portable cordless monitor is the size of a cell phone, and they are super easy to use. It's live streaming audio and video, and it saves you from running up and down the stairs every time you hear a peep.  Spend the extra money, it's definitely worth it.

Final thing...Here we go Steelers, here we go!
