Jaiden laughing and drinking milk

Jaiden saying "AHHHHH" and "E I E I"

Jaiden can say "AHHHHH".

He can also say "Ee-ii-ee-ii-oooo"... or.. almost.

I guess that some plates aren't microwave safe.

This little chunk of charred chicken just wasn't worth it.

Jaiden has discovered oranges

Tonight Heather, Jaiden, and I went to Mimi's Cafe. Right before we got there, I handed Jaiden an orange that I found in the car. I expected him to just play with it. When he started sucking on it, I thought it was cute.
Then I smelled that distinct "orange" smell that permeates the air when an orange is being peeled. I grabbed the orange away from him and found that he had taken a big bite out of the bottom of it, peel and all! After I took it away, he chewed what was in his mouth and swallowed it.
Heather and I thought it was hilarious. When we got in the restaurant, the waitress brought him a little "kid's plate" which included an orange slice with the peel still attached. When it was in range, he grabbed it and proceeded to devourer it, peel and all!

Jaiden's Driving Me Crazy!

I'm home sick today and Jaiden is driving me crazy.
First, he has found the stack of bibs and burp cloths (aka spit rags) and likes to pull the stack down and make a huge mess.
Second, he has figured out how to work the Diaper Champ. He just barely "flushed" a small yellow toy into the Diaper Champ where it fell on top of other diapers. Now we're going to have to figure out another location for that thing.
