Aidan's creative side and more

Here are some more pictures of our little girl. She has been exploring her artistic side with fingerpaints and play dough (homemade, no less!) as well as her scientific side at the Museum of Science and Nature. She's also been exploring her wild side by running through the house naked. And her nurturing side by obsessively feeding the outdoor kitties at least 4 times a day. It is very cute: she puts food in their bowl and then crouches down to look for the kitties under the cars. She also needs to go outside for some bubble blowing action on a regular basis. So much so, she can now say "bubbles!" And she's all about climbing into chairs and reading her books. She's babbling up a storm and learning to copy the rhythm of our words if not the actual letter sounds. She has her 18 month check-up in about a week and a half, but when she stood on the scale the other day, she weighed in at 24.8 pounds. Such a big girl!
