Auden Update- 2.5 years old

Last week Auden had a half birthday, which gives me an excuse to update the blog with all the fun stuff he is doing lately!  He is such a little boy now, he will tell us what he thinks about everything and is definitely testing his boundaries like toddlers do.  He is eating great which is such a pleasure for Cody and I after all we have been through.  His favorite things right now include puzzles, jumping on our neighbor's trampoline and putting his head underwater at the pool, see pictures below:-)  We transitioned his crib to the "toddler bed" last month which went smoother than we could have ever imagined.  He doesn't seem to fully realize or care that he can get out of bed now when we are not in the room.  He will still lay in bed and play with his stuffed animals until we come into his room in the morning, which is quite funny.  We are having a great summer riding around in our new jeep, Auden loves wearing his shades with the top down.  He is at such a fun age right now, we love watching him explore and discover new things every day!
