St. Patrick's Day

It's hard to believe that last year at this time I was pregnant...and still suffering from morning sickness. It is going to be a much better St. Pat's Day with my little guy here to share it with. He is definitely my lucky charm. He is 5 1/2 months old already! Hard to believe how quickly time has flown by. In the past month we have had a few "firsts". Aidan and I went on a road trip alone. We went down to see Aunt Beth and Uncle Bill. Then the following day we went to Coffeyville to a baby shower for one of my closest and best friends, Karrie. Her little man, Asher, is due on April 12th. Can't wait for out boys to meet. Karrie and I have been friends for over 20 years...it will so great that our sons will be only 6 months apart. I just wish we lived closer together. Aidan did really well in the car for the most part. I don't think he was really thrilled to be back in the car on day two heading to Coffeyville...he cried more then half way there. I had to stop twice to try to get him to calm down. It was great getting out to visit, but it was great to be back home too. Aidan has also started on baby food. He is eating the basics...rice and oatmeal and several different fruits and vegetables. So far he seems to like them all except for squash and he makes a sour face when he eats peaches. I think they must be pretty tart!

He is fast at grabbing stuff and has mom on her toes. He reached out for Daddy to hold him tonight for the first time...it was really cute. Damian was out of town for several days on a business trip and I think Aidan missed his Daddy!!

Here are a couple of photos of him. His eyes aren't as blue as they once were. They have turned into a blue green. The picture in his St. Patty's Day shirt was taken on his 5 month B-day and the other one taken yesterday in his brand new toy...the Jumperoo. He LOVES jumping!!! It is insanely big and our living room is starting to look like Toys R Us!! What's a mom to do but give him everything he wants!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Aidan found his feet! He likes laying on his back and holding them! It's pretty cute. He turned four months old on the 8th. I took pictures of him in his Valentine's Day outfit.

He learned to roll over on the 7th...but only did it one time. Then on the 12th he decided he wanted to just keep on rolling. He only rolls from back to front and always rolls to the left. It's a fun new game....he rolls over, I flip him back and he rolls over again. Here is a picture of him after he rolled over and was watching TV.


He also is learning how to blow bubbles. It is more like spitting! Kind of funny and really wet and slobbery. Here is a picture of him 'blowing bubbles' wearing his cool new sun glasses. They remind me of cycling glasses...just trying to get him use to it.
Yesterday he got to see and touch a kitty for the first time. I think he liked it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day that is filled with love!!

Aidan and I were just taking a few pictures today. Here is Aidan hanging out on his Dad's baby blanket.

Rice Cereal

Aidan went to his four month appointment on Thursday. He is 26" tall...making him 2 foot 2 inches. So cute to think he'll probably grow another 4 feet in the next 18 years! WOW! He is in the 90th percentile for height. Here's a shocker...he is SEVENTEEN POUNDS!! He is off the chart! The doctor said that he'll slim down when he starts getting a little more mobile in about 2 months. He got the go ahead to start trying out some cereals.

Here are a couple of other really cute babies!

Guess who theses cuties are!!

3 Months old

Time is flying...here is a picture of Aidan on January 8th...his 3 month B-day!!

And here is a picture of Aidan on Monday...14 weeks old! He's wearing his R*A*S*H shirt from Auntie Beth. Damian thinks he looks like a little red neck...I think he's adorable!

"Standing"

Aidan is getting to be such a big boy!!! He loves to be "standing". He can throw a big fit when my arms get tired from holding him up. We have him standing on the couch holding himself up with the armrest. Check out the picture. He has also become quite the drooler...I have to wonder if it is possible that he is teething so early!!

Here is a picture of where Aidan has been sleeping since he was born. If I would have known I was going to be a big softy and have him sleep with me, I could have saved a bunch of $$ on the crib! He is a little bit of a bed hog and takes up a bunch of space. Damian took this picture of us this morning because we were laying the same! Aidan is so cute!
