 Somebody LOVES his Daddy!

I am so thankful to be married to man that loves me with all his heart! When I had Aiden, Forrest basically took over for the first 2 weeks. He rocked him, changed his diapers, sang to him and woke me up when Aiden needed to nurse. He exceeded my expectations in the Daddy & Husband department. Never in my wildest imagination could I believe that I'd be living the dream I am today.

I switched things up a little this month. I really tried to work with Aiden on nursing better. I feed him solids at 8, 1 and 5:30. I switched to watching HIS cues for nursing rather than the clock.  He is happy 100% of the day now and is sleeping like a champ.   

Activities he LOVES:

Lots of reading...he loves the Bright Baby hardcover picture books

Playing on the porch in his exersaucer watching Lexi run around
Ripping up old magazines (He will put the paper he rips in his mouth and I will tell him "no" and he takes it out)

Sitting up on his own and playing with his toys in the basket

Playing in his "ball pin"
Sitting up and playing with his Fisherprice Laugh & Learn Farm (from Rosalie)

Baby Mummums and Puffs every now and then when I'm trying to make dinner

Our Little Monkey

Halloween was a holiday I started brainstorming about when I found out I was pregnant. I love baby costumes! We spent the evening out at Kelly's with Aiden's Sumner cousins. I may be a little biased but he was the cutest monkey in town : ) 

Aiden makes every holiday extra special! 

 *Bear with me-I'm trying to play catch up with the blog!

Ibis Park

 It's official...Aiden is an outdoor loving boy who likes to get dirty. I took him to the park for the first time and he smiled the entire time. He's such a blessing and a joy to be around!

Gobble, Gobble

We are so thankful for such supportive families! 

Sometimes it's difficult to juggle between the two during the holidays but it's a good problem to have!
