Halloween Wardrobe!!!

Here we are ready for Katie's Shower

Enjoying my Halloween sleeper from Nana

I am such a cute "little Pumpkin"

Don't I look like an old man?

My first Halloween

While Aiden is vibrating away in his rocker (his new love is not to swing but just to feel the vibrating) I thought I would post a few pictures of Aiden's wardrobe for the upcoming Holiday!We are loving time at home and are happy that the weather is suppose to be nicer as the week goes on and that we can get out of the house for a walk or two. We are very excited for Halloween and we have a couple of costumes to choose from. I will probably take pictures of him in them all. We are going through another growth spurt and that is trying since he wants to eat every 1 1/2 to 2 hours ahhhhhhh I can hardly keep up! We are guessing Aiden to be 10 1/2 pounds and around 21 inches long. Don and I attempted to weigh/measure him ourselves since he does not see the doctor for another 2 weeks. We are continuing tummy time and we have had no other "turn overs" since our big day last week! We are amazed at his ability to focus now and he really loves the mirrors and lights around the house. We are all doing well and will keep you all updated.

Tummy Time!!!

Well we have been using our gym and enjoying watching Aiden focus on things now and we have been working the neck during "tummy time". It is a riot to watch him. On Wednesday, October 22nd Aiden turned over from his belly to his back. I thought this was a freak thing and waited a couple minutes put him on his belly again and to my surprise he did it again! You can all imagine that I was a very proud mommy! Now we have not done this again, but he is working hard at lifting his head. I did get the "turn over" on my camera because I just had this feeling that he was going to and thankfully the camera was near bye. We are sad now that it is getting cold because we have really been enjoying our walks around the neighborhood. Riley will miss them most but hopefully we have some sunny/warm days still left before winter arrives.

The Pumpkin Patch!!!

On October 10th we made a little trip to the Pumpkin Patch. This was mainly for photo taking sake and we needed pumpkins for the front door!!! Nana and Grandpa went with so it was fun to see how the Patch hadn't changed much since we were little. Here are some of the cute photos we got. Things have been going great we are just spending time as a family and figuring out a routine with the little man. I have to say he is so wonderful... he loves his swing and that lets mommy and daddy get things done around the house. I can even vacuum when he is swinging/sleeping away! We are excited that our sleep stretches have increased sometimes to 4 and even a couple 5 hour stretches!!!! I am told that this can and probably will change but hey I will take it. He has been such a good eater/sleeper and has really kept a routine since the day he was born. We are guessing him to be over 10 pounds now and we won't officially find out until his 2 month check up or unless I convince Don that we need to buy a baby scale!!!! Well Aiden is letting me know that it is time to go so we will keep in touch.

Edwards Orchard

Last Monday Don and I took Aiden to Edward's apple orchard. We were honestly craving their donuts and cider but thought it was such a beautiful day to enjoy outside. Of course little man slept through the entire trip!!! He tends to do that after being in his car seat and going for a car ride. It was a nice day and we were happy to take our newest family member to the spot that we both visited as kids ourselves!!! Things have been going well and I can't believe that Aiden is almost 1 month old...how quickly time flies. We have a appointment this week for his 2nd Hep. shot and I can't wait to find out how much he weighs. We have been busy enjoying the nice weather going for walks and both Aiden and Riley love them. Riley has done very well during this whole transition and is VERY happy to be walking with mom again!!!! As you all know Riley NEEDS her walks!

Aiden's Arrival!!!

Well we have had almost 3 weeks with our beautiful boy and have enjoyed the nesting together so far! I am happy to have a couple minutes while daddy takes care of Aiden so I can update our site. We were blessed with our little man on September 17th at 8:38 in the morning. He weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long!!! It was a long labor after being induced Tuesday morning and laboring until 7:30 the next morning my doctor finally decided it was time for a C-Section. Little Aiden did not want to come out and was facing up instead of down and had his cord wrapped around his little body. In the end it all worked out and we were so lucky that he is here and healthy!!!! We can't believe how quickly these 3 weeks have gone bye and we are cherishing each moment. Aiden is a very happy and quite content little baby I keep saying that we are so lucky. I am sure all moms feel that way. Many of you know the journey it took us to get here and after almost 2 years in the process we are in awe of this miracle that is our son! Thanks again to all who have stopped bye and for those that haven't we cant' wait for you to meet him. -All our love Don, Lindsey, and Aiden
