Baptism

Here are a few pictures of when Aidan was baptised! Due to all the snow and ice Damian's family wasn't able to make it up. Aidan did great and didn't cry at all.

2 months old!

Here are the latest photos of Aidan! He will be two months old on Saturday. I can't believe how fast time is flying by. On the left is a photo of him in his Baptism Suit. He will be baptised on December 16th. He loves getting a bath...so hopefully he won't mind being sprinkled by Father Tom.

THANKSGIVING

We survived a three hour trip in the car. We went to Damian's parents house for Thanksgiving. It was a bit of a learning experience for a first timer. We had to stop so that I could feed Aidan. During the day, he likes to eat every two hours. Damian's Grandma Lucy has had some recent health problems. She fell down on two separate occasions and has several broken ribs. For the past 4 plus years she has been living with Damian's mom, Eloisa. The doctors told them that she would need to be moved into a nursing home. She is requiring more and more care and Eloisa isn't able to lift her. It was a sad thing to have to do right before the holidays, but they were able to bring her back home for Thanksgiving day and spend some time with her. I took a picture of Lucy, Eloisa, Damian and Aidan together. Four generations. It was amazing to see them all together. It was a tough holiday for me...it made me miss my own Grandma and Mother. I remember a picture of my Great Grandmother, grandmother, mom, sister and nephew all together when Tyler was just a baby. Five generations!! It dawned on me that right there in that house was all of the Grandparents that Aidan will ever know. He is very lucky to have them. I hope that they all take good care of themselves and are around for a really really long time.

It's getting close to Aidan's two month birthday! It is so hard to believe how fast the time has gone by. Damian and I realized we were losing all of the days and so we bought a camcorder. We have only used it a couple of times. I feel like I need to enroll in a class to figure out how to use it. I promise to post some pictures up very soon. We are having our annual holiday photos taken this Sunday, so that will be a good one to put up. Aidan weights 13.3 lbs now! I am shocked that I am still able to carry him when he is in the car seat.

One Month Old

It's hard to believe that an entire month has pasted. My little boy is growing up so fast. We went to the doctor on Monday and he weighs 11 lbs now. He is really long too. He was having some issues with crying and spitting up and I just wanted to get him checked out. The doc told us he has reflux and colic. That might explain the 3 and 4 hour crying spells. Aidan is taking some medications now that seem to help with the reflux. I just hope that he isn't in to much pain now. We went to get pictures taken today to mark the occasion. Daddy and Mom attended the information class for him to be baptised. He is scheduled to be baptised on December 16th.

Happy Halloween

Aidan had two costumes this year. The cute little cow outfit was a gift from Aunt Beth and the Pumpkin was a gift from my dear friend Karen. I thought he looked so cute in both of them.

Happy Birthday

Aidan Howard Almanza was born on October 8, 2007 (Columbus Day) at 3:18 pm.
He weighed 8.54 lbs and is 20.5 inches long.
He has black hair and blue eyes (at least for now). Mommy thinks he is the cutest thing she has EVER seen. Aidan had his first doctor's appointment today and he is almost back up to his birth weight. He is doing great. Mom and Dad are a little tired, but we are getting by....spending some time getting to know our little guy.
