Letters to Aiden John

Dear Baby A,

Today you are 6 months old. 

You are grabbing at my face and glasses as we speak (You just stuck your finger in my nose), but you are awesome.  You have grown into such a little stud.  On the day you were born, you stayed awake for a couple of hours to meet your family.  You had the look of concentration going on-scrunched forehead & a stare that was mesmerizing to all of us 'grown ups'.  I catch you making this same face now, but when you are discovering the world through play.

I love watching you feel your toys or the cat's tail or your daddy's scruff.  You've been smiling for a few months now, but every time you flash that BIG, gummy grin, I can't help but smile right back at you! I think I'm in love with every face you make. The scrunch-y forehead is a favorite amongst your family and friends.  The contemplative "turtle" face.  The pooping face (with accompanying grunts). 

You've started doing this high pitched, short burst of a scream when you are upset, but not really upset.  We will get it on film soon so we can share it and have it to show to your wife one day!  I don't even want to think about you having a wife...SLOW DOWN. Be a baby for a LONG LONG time.

I love you so much my heart can barely stand it!

Happy half birthday Boobie!

Aiden's first poop in the toilet! It was gonna be in the bathtub...but with quick maneuvering we made it (halfway, he did poo a little on Joel...lol).


From this day forward,

Aiden: 12 weeks

Please excuse the bad photography...(I had the camera set to some funky ISO & it completely washed out these photos). ::sad face:: they had great potential though.  I took a few on my camera phone and those came out alright.

 Baby at 12 weeks

• AJ has been mister cranky pants. I swear it's teeth, but most are skeptical. 
• He still rocks the blue-eyed look most days (some days I see green).
• Breastfeeding champ. wants to eat constantly after 5 PM (this might be an issue considering I return to work on Monday-enter super sad face here).
• Naps in bassinet or playpen for up to 45 minutes! Hey, it's a start.
• Sucks on his hands- he can practically fit his fist into his mouth!
• Sucks on his toes- with a little help...
• Talks in full sentences, "iiii ooooooo aaa!" & "ahhh uuuu oooh" lol. One time I heard him say, "Mommy is the best."

Mommy at 12 weeks

• Still recovering from my breast issues, but doing SO much better.  I go back in a few weeks for another giant-needle  aspiration.
• Go back to work on Monday. nervous/excited/sad.
• Finding outfits that are more breastfeeding appropriate.  Finding out that I can't use dresses I already own for wedding because my chest is HUGE. 
• Finding that I have more energy-maybe I'm adapting to the young baby schedule, maybe I'm actually getting more rest.

Okay, enjoy my badly edited photos:
 

see his teeth? JK, the one tooth I think I see is on the bottom gum.

Loving his bumbo

This kid seriously loves to read-he's totally blowing me off because he is SO into his book. Ignore my dorky voice.
