Aidan is 5 months old / Aidan estah com 5 meses

English version: Time does fly... Aidan just turned 5 months this past Saturday (August 29). In such a short period, he has grown and adapted to so much. His recent changes include:
(a) Getting used to his new routine now that his Mom is back to work.
(b) Being under the care of his God-Mother Rachelle for part of the time Mom is on campus, teaching. As described in a previous blog post, in the first week, he was emotionally reactive, wanting to stay near his Mom or Dad all the time, and getting fussy when left "alone" with his God-Mother. This week (second week), he has been more peaceful: he threw a brief crying fit 10 minutes before Mom had to leave, but was easily comforted by his Mom and then peacefully went to check out the trees with his God-Mother while she carried him in the BabyBjorn. ;-)
(c) Aidan also started producing consonant sounds - not a classic babbling yet, but maybe practicing for it? ;-)
(d) He has been sitting up almost independently while exploring one of his favorite body parts - his toes (see photos).
(e) Aidan is also very communicative when it comes to clearly expressing his dislikes - hehehe. One good illustration is when he's placed on his stomach for "Tummy Time." Oh boy... Does he get impatient? See in this short video clip below (left) how cute he sounds when he's getting frustrated. Aidan, we looove how emotionally expressive you are!!! :-)
(f) Lastly, Aidan is beginning to develop an interest toward his pacifier... Check out, in the other video clip below (right), how he takes the pacifier offered by his Mom and then brings it to his mouth.

Versao portugues: O tempo voa mesmo... Aidan acabou de completar 5 meses de vida sabado passado (29 de Agosto). Num periodo tao curtinho de vida ele ja cresceu e se adaptou a tantas coisas. Suas mudancas mais recentes incluem:
(a) Se acostumar `a sua nova rotina agora que sua Mae voltou ao trabalho tempo integral.
(b) Ficar sob os cuidados de sua Madrinha Rachelle por parte do tempo enqto. a Mamae estah no campus universitario, dando aula. Tal como descrito em blog anterior, a primeira semana ele reagiu querendo ficar proximo da Mae ou do Pai o tempo todo, e choramingando qdo. "sozinho" com a Madrinha dele. Essa semana (segunda semana), ele tem estado bem mais tranquilo: deu uma berradinha 10 minutos antes da Mamae ter que sair, mas a Mamae conseguiu acalma-lo rapidamente e ele foi olhar as arvores no jardim com a Madrinha enqto. ela o carregava no "Canguru."
(c) Aidan tambem passou a produzir sons de consoantes - nao eh o balbucio classico ainda, mas talvez esteja praticando para o mesmo? ;-)
(d) Ele tem ficado sentadinho quase que independentemente enquanto explora uma das suas partes favoritas do corpo - seus dedos do pe (ver fotos acima).
(e) Aidan eh tambem muito comunicativo quando eh para expressar o que nao gosta - rsrsrsrs. Um bom exemplo eh quando colocamos Aidan de barriguinha para baixo. Eita... Serah que ele fica arretado? Vejam que fofura Aidan se arretando - ver video clip abaixo no lado esquerdo. Aidan, nos amaaaaaaaaaaaaaamos o quao expressivo vc eh!!!! :-)
(f) Ultima novidade: Aidan estah comecando a se interessar pela chupeta... Vejam, no outro video clip abaixo no lado direito, como Aidan pega a chupeta oferecida pela Mamae e a traz (a chupeta, claro) para a boca.
