Back to work.

(Picture sent from auntie madi and her really nice friend sammy)

I survived (I knew I would).

I'm exhausted/too caffeinated. (It's 11:38 PM)

I had fun & remembered how much I love coaching.

I missed little Mister but he had a poop waiting for me when I got home so I know he survived too.

From this day forward,

Workin' mama

Friday Faces 9.30.2011

Hooray for Friday!

My name is A-Dub and I make my Daddy's facial expressions everyday-see the look in picture #2.  that is most definitely a Joel face.  However, my smile is my very own & I know it brightens my parent's day.  I am lucky to have such awesome parents that change my non-stop poopie diapers & have patience with me especially from the hours 2:30-5:00 AM.

I am learning to talk & sing.  This morning, when my Daddy asked me, "What's your name, cutie?", I answered him.  Momma and Daddy were both surprised at what I said, so they asked again, but I was over answering their questions and wanted to have some Daddy and me time so momma could sleep.

For some reason, I'm beginning to like tummy-time a whole lot more and I can stand it for up to 20 minutes before I roll over or cry ask for momma to pick me up.

I hope you enjoy some of my Friday faces!

*true story. It sounded like he said "Aiden" when Joel asked him what his name was!

Happy weekend everyone,
Baby A

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.

From this day forward,

i made him too!

Any of this sounds familiar, "He has your eyes" or "He totally looks like mommy" Or "She is definitely a Smith"...? 

Well, in my case it's, "He looks just like Joel," "Did you even help make this baby?" Or "Those genes sure are strong"...So I decided to show you that he looks like me.


Please see picture below:

 "the resemblance is uncanny"

& can you believe we found the SAME dress for Little AJ to wear? we had to make a new bow because the original got lost...

ok, OK, you caught me.this is just a picture of me twice--one is a wee-lil-tiny-bit photoshopped.

But, let's get serious-I made him too!!! 
 
I believe I carried Little Mister for 9 months.  I believe I also pushed this 9 pound, 5 ounce baby that is supposedly the size of large watermelon out of my lady parts. So, please give me a little credit. Even if it is just a small thing. 

Do it.


(Please).

Crae-Baby                                                                                             Baby-Crae...?

So what do you think he has of mine? Personally, I see a similar headshape and lips. What did your child inherit from you?....or your husband? 

From this day forward,
Aiden's twinsie

p.s. see proof of my watermelon-sized baby here
