Last week we went to the pumpkin patch to get our Halloween pumpkins. Aidan pretty much slept the whole time, but I'm sure it'll be a great memory! Haha! At least we got cute pictures! :)Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Aidan is 1 month!
I can't belive that Aidan is already 4 weeks old. It feels like it flew by and at the same time it feels like it was an eternity! The first few weeks were a little rough (no sleep, I had no IDEA what I was doing, breastfeeding took a while to get used to and hungry babies don't like to wait, I felt fat and mushy, did I mention NO SLEEP?), but now everything is feeling like second nature. I can change a diaper in 2 seconds now instead of 2 mintues (for those of you who have had little boys, you KNOW that if it takes you 2 minutes to change a diaper, by the time you have that new clean diaper on he has peed on himself and probably his face...which results in another bath). He's gone to the mall a few times already (I might as well take advantage now because in a few years he's going to hate the mall!) and he's great when we go out and eat. We've even left him a few times with family while we either ran errands or went out (I'm SO glad I have 2 great families that help out all the time. It's so nice to have them to watch Aidan while I either sleep or get things done!).
After bathtime he loves his little robe and slippers! He's gotten a lot better with baths now that we bathe him in the sink. His bath has this neat temperature gage that tells me when the water is the perfect warmth, and it always filters out the water so he's constantly getting warm water. Much better than the cold sponge baths he got during his first 2 weeks!
Nana holding her Grandson! He loves his Nana!
He'll usually scream when we first put him in his carseat, but the minute you pick him up he's happy. And the car is a blessing because he always falls asleep! He's GREAT when we take him out places, he just sleeps in his little carseat. The first 2 weeks were really rough because he would sleep for about an hour or sometimes an hour and a half if we were lucky and then he'd wake up. I finally decided to put him in his carseat and put the carseat in his bassinet next to me to see if he'd sleep longer and it WORKED! He now sleeps about 4 to 5 hours at a time at night! It has helped me out so much. It's amazing how much better I feel by just getting 2 to 3 more hours of non-interupted sleep! (I used to need at least 8 hours of sleep...now if I get 4 I feel like a million bucks. Welcome to motherhood!)
Such a sweet angel!
Aidan hated his first few baths...he would scream his little lungs out! It wore him out and made him really tired, so we'd put on his little slippers (and sometimes his robe) and he'd be out for a good hour or so!
He's changed so much during these past 4 weeks! He's losing his hair (we call him an "old man" because he's losing it on top of his head right now!), so we're excited to see what color his hair grows back in. He's also gained 2 lbs and grown 2 inches! He changes everyday. He's amazing...motherhood is amazing. I love all the little moments we have with him, especially when Josh holds him...it melts my heart! He's our precious little angel and God has really blessed us!
