4th of July

This year we spent the Fourth of July at Ryan & Kaylie's. It's amazing that this time last year we were packing for our Babymoon and now here we are holding our little bundle of joy!  What a blessing!

 Happy Belated Fourth From Our Family To Yours!

13 Weeks Old

Weight: 

10 lb 8 oz as of June 20

Eyes:

Sparkly Blues

Nicknames: 

Angelpie, Little Man

Sleep: 

We had a rough night the 24th. Aiden went to bed like usual but woke up at 2 bright eyed because he slept a lot the day before. I slept off and on in his chair because he was restless from 2-7. 

Diet:

I nurse Aiden once a day still and the rest of the day he gets pumped breastmilk. There are days when thats all he gets and when he has to have 2 bottles of formula.  

Activities:

Little Man is hating tummy time. I'm hoping it will get better next by week.  

Clothes:

0-3 month and 3 month onesies 

Health:

Aiden will turn from cracking up to crying in 2 seconds. He knows what he wants when he wants it and is NOT afraid to let us know. 

Diapers: 

Papmers Swaddlers Size 1 but I'm not sure how much longer they will last. The 1's are getting pretty snug. 

Misc:
Cradlecap almost completely gone
I had to buy breathable bumpers because Little Man is getting in the habit of sticking his leg through the crib rails. 

How's Mama: 
Back to exercising and eating good now that we are home! It feels so good to be back in our groove. 

12 Weeks Old

Weight: 

10 lb 8 oz as of June 20

Eyes:

Sparkly Blues

Nicknames: 

Biggie, Punky, Sweetiepie, Little Man

 Sleep: 

Aiden has been a dream sleeper at night! To put him to sleep,  I bathe him and feed him his last bottle of the day with all the lights off. I burp him then then put him in his crib and "pank butt" for a few minutes until he's sound alseep. Every now and then Forrest will the nighttime ritual so that Little Man doesn't HAVE to have me to put him to sleep. 

During the day he likes to take 15 minute naps between every feeding and one 3  hour nap usually.  He's hardly ever fussy for no reason. 

Diet:

I nurse Aiden once a day still and the rest of the day he gets pumped breastmilk. There are days when thats all he gets and when he has to have 2 bottles of formula.  

Activities:

Since we've been at the hotel, all I do is cuddle with Little Man and talk to him. We're going to have quite the adjustment when we're back home and I've got to get things done. 

Clothes:

0-3 month and 3 month onesies 

Health:

A happy, happy baby

Diapers: 

Aiden's been having small diaper rashes every few days.  I always leave him naked on the floor until I'm tired of wiping up pee. (One day he even got Lexi) After using Butt Paste religiously and getting baking soda baths, it's gone by the next day. 

Misc:
Aiden loves the Taggie KK made for him!
He's starting to immediately "talk" and smile when he sees Ninny, Pa & Bayli.
Little Man "talked" through half of the preaching on Sunday. 
He STILL laughs the best for his Daddy! 
Aiden is still trying his hardest to suck his thumb! He's getting closer but still not there yet. 
We are looking forward to having Papa, KK & Aunt Shish come for the weekend!

How's Mama:
Ready for another one...NO JOKE!!! Forrest thinks I'm nuts! Don't worry I know my body needs to heal but I just miss those newborn days SO MUCH!
