A Long Road Ahead...

Well it has been a long road since Aidan was first born. Due to the overwhelming volume of emails to keep everyone up to date we have created this blog for our friends and family. Aidan has brought such joy and happiness to our lives. Despite his medical problems he is progressing very well in all areas. He is almost 9 months old now. He weighs just over 16 pounds and is just under 24 inches in length. A long way from 3 lbs 11 oz and 15.5 inches when he was first born. He really enjoys bath time and we hope to post some video of him on the site soon. He also enjoys spending time with his mommy and Grandma Marino. He always gives Daddy a big smile when he gets home from work everyday. He recently had a visit with his Grandma Lee and her boyfriend Ray. They enjoyed the visit as did Aidan although it was a bit short. Grandpa and Grandma Troxtel are coming for a visit this weekend. Aidan really enjoys when mommy and daddy sing to him. He has a little rattle that he plays with when we are all singing. He really moves those legs and likes to shake, rattle, and roll! Some of his favorite bands are Queen, Journey and pretty much any band on Rock Band or Guitar Hero and of course the hair bands. We also went to the cider mill for the first with Aidan. He seemed to enjoy as you can see by the picture below.
