Aiden’s parents were thrilled to take him out and show him his new world. They enjoyed taking him for walks, spending time at local dog parks and their family lunches out together. He traveled to Boston, Florida and spent time in Denver as well. While in Boston they took him to the Aquarium and to meet and visit with the family and friends who had not yet met him. Aiden was a happy and sociable baby who was comfortable being held by anyone who wanted to hold him. He loved to giggle and the sound of his voice brought much joy to his family. Aiden was becoming more aware of what was going on in his new little world everyday and especially liked his Golden Retriever “ Toby”.
