naming our son

Aidan is an Irish given name, a diminutive of Aodh and usually translated into English as "little fire" or similar. Formerly common only in Ireland, the name (together with variants) has become popular in the United Kingdom and United States of America. Aidan is currently the 54th most popular name in the United States since the start of the year 2000, bestowed on over 62,000 boys. Other variants are less popular, with Aiden the 66th most popular, Hayden the 88th, Ayden the 189th, Aden the 333rd, Aydan the 808th and Aydin the 960th, according to the United States Social Security Database. Its popularity is also reflected in the occurrence of similar-sounding names such as Braden, Caden, Hayden, and Jaden.

aidan meets a new friend named joshua i can hardly believe my eyes watching aidan learn to crawl! it seems like it wasn't that long ago that i was cheering on his first head lift! then one day he flipped & we flipped watching him, it's all so fun & exciting :) he's been rocking on his knees & then all of a sudden he realized that he could do more :) he's been doing "push-ups" for a while now so he was all ready to go, he just needed some motivation... aw! that toy plane will do & he's off! tonight he held onto the edge of his baby bathtub & stood up! this is all happening so fast now! for so long he was just rolling around & now he's growing up before my very eyes! i'm taking it all in, hiding it in my heart, praising the Lord & blogging about a bit of it too :)
