Diet: 
At the beginning of this week, Aiden latched on and nursed like a champ! It was like a light went off in his head and said "I've got this!" He nurses all day and takes a bottle of breastmilk at night from Forrest.  

Clothes: 
Newborn

Diapers: 
Pampers Swaddlers Size 1, Far more pee pee diapers than I can count, 3-4 poopy diapers a day

Crying: 
Aiden has started crying this week when he's tired. Before this point he would yawn and I'd put him down for a nap. NOW to get him down I give him his pacifier, sing to him and hold him close to me. He's usually asleep in a matter of minutes. 

OF COURSE he still cries when he's hungry

Being Cuddled, Walks, Car Rides, Bright Lights, Ceiling Fans, Bouncy Seat, Swing, Rocking  

 Milestones: 

We have a smiley boy on our hands! He's started smiling at me in the mornings and during diaper changes. 

A lot more awake time during the day

Misc: 

Aiden wiggles ALL night long in his crib! I will put him down horizontally at the end of the crib and he will wake up vertically in the middle of the crib.   

Loves getting his mouth suctioned out with the bulb syringe

Postpartum: 

Hopefully I will get the 100% clear from my OB next week.  

There have been a few rough, hormonal nights here lately. I've been going going going and not napping during the day so I'm a little tired. It's so hard to sit down and relax during nap times when I'm staring at dirty laundry and clutter. Thankfully, Forrest has been so supportive and helpful. He usually gives Aiden his bottle at night, reads him a book, rocks him and puts him to sleep! Thank goodness for my rockstar Baby Daddy! I don't know what I'd do without him!!!
