Trick or Treat at Daycare

There is a spooktacular party at Aiden's daycare today. This is Aiden's second Halloween. We decided to dress him like meerkat which turned out quite unique outfit and very cute. He still didn't quite get the idea about trick-or-treat. When we took him to other room in daycare, he only cared about the toys not candies. Anyways, it was fun!

Animal Sounds

At 19.5 months old, Aiden can do the following animal sounds. Cow (mooo), sheep (bah), horse (neigh), dog panting, duck (gaga), monkey (wowo), owl (owl), dinosaur (roar), lion (roar), fish, pig, bee and cat. He can do a few sign languages: please, ball, book, eat, yellow, outside, more. The words he has managed are: please, outside, ball, book, water (wawa), milk, more, dog, eyes, nose, daddy, mama, owl, car, bus, byebye, bird, NO (his favoriate one), duck. He started saying two words together such as byebye car, car book, mama car, my ball. Also he has mastered all his Melissa & Doug's puzzles including animals, transportation, shapes and cars. Go Aiden!

Time for Raking Leaves

As the late Fall is coming, most the tree leaves in the backyard has fallen. It is time to rake the leaves again. This year, we got a little helper - Aiden. He was very interested in holding the rake and tried a few times, but the rake was way too big for him. I think he enjoyed jumping inside the leaf piles more than working. :P

Look at my leaf piles

Apple Picking

The weather has been great this October. Last year, we took Aiden to Anderson Orchard while he was about 7 months old. He wasn't sure what to do with the apples in the tree. But this year, he knew exactly what to do.

First trip to Children's museum

I am not really interested in Barbies, but these girls are sitting on motorcycles and cars.
My hands are small for big polar bear foot print.

Tonight after work, grandpa and grandma Li and Mom took Aiden to Indianapolis Children's museum. This was Aiden's first trip to children's museum. He loved the water play, train table and lawn mower. This would be a great place to spend family time together in the winter.

Aiden is moving up to old toddler room

Aiden has been spending one day per week in old toddler room to prepare for moving up. The teachers from both young todd and old todd room told me that he has been doing great and is much happier in the old todd room. Finally starting from today, he will be in old todd room full time and enjoy himself with his old friends who moved up a month earlier.

First Hayride

Grandpa and Grandma Zeigler came to Indy to visit this Sunday and we all went out for a Octoberfest in Zionsville. Aiden did his first hayride. Not sure he enjoyed it or not, he was very curious to look around during the ride. He liked rolling and kicking the pumpkins and did some art work there too.
