2 Months Already!

Wow, I can't believe it has already been 2 months! Aiden is starting to develop his personality and it is adorable. He laughs and holds conversations (even though all he is saying is coos). He plays with the volume of his voice and he tries out different sounds while he smiles. I can't get enough of him! He is changing so fast. Brittaney met us at Church one Sunday and we went to the mall after to get some clothes that I could wear to work. Martin and I are taking him out more, now that he is more predictable, can go a bit longer without eating, and is less fussy.We took him out to dinner with us, we went to the mall and he met the Easter Bunny on his 2 month birthday. He didn't cry, but he didn't smile for the camera either. He was too fixated and fascinated by all of the lights they had up. He had his 2 month check up and we found out that he is, as suspected, a healthy boy. A very healthy, very big boy. His weight is literally off the charts. At 16lbs he has already doubled his birth weight. He is 24 3/4" long and the Doc said his head is average and looking good. His lower body is incredibly strong. He can climb up your body and he can stand straight up. We need to start working on his upper body, so the Doc said to give him some more tummy time. On Monday, Martin had to go into work, so Aiden got to spend the day with Grandma Jamie and his Uncle Ricky also stopped by and Aiden just slept in his arms. After his Dr. appt, he got sick from the shots and spent the first night screaming until we got him Tylenol and then the next day he slept the entire day. It freaked me out, he has never slept that much, he was even sleeping through diaper changes, eating, and burping. It was insane, but the advice nurse said it was fine as long as he had no fever and was eating well. Aiden isn't the only one changing fast. I am changing too. Becoming a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love him so much!

Week 7 photos and Video

March 31-April 6: This week was busy! We usually give Aiden a bath together because he is so slippery and he doesn't like bath time that much, but Martin was working 16 hour days this week, so I gave Aiden a bath by myself so that he could be all clean for his Daddy. We went and got him a new outfit since he is outgrowing his clothes so fast. On Sunday, we went to Campbell for my Dad and Uncle Mike's birthday. A lot of people came over (Aunt Marilyn, Dee, Patti, Britt, Rod, Kathy, Toddy), so Aiden got a lot of love that day. I went back to work on Monday, so Aiden was with his Dad getting in some "man time." I cried on the way to work, and I found out later that Aiden cried as soon as the front door shut. Guess we will both have to get used to me leaving. I am still nursing him, so he also has to get used to the bottle while I am gone. I am pumping while I am at work and I am lucky that they have a "quiet room," which has a big comfy chair in it. The rest of the week he was with me since I only work in the office one day a week. He is still eating every 3 hours and growing like a weed.

Weeks 5 and 6

March 17-23 Week 5: Aiden weighed in at 12.4lbs this week and he is wearing 3mo clothing! He also had his first outing (other than his trips to Kaiser). We took him to church and he received his first blessing during communion. From there, we headed down to Campbell to visit my family.

March 24-30 Week 6: Aiden smiles on-demand now. All we have to say is, "Where's your smile?" or "Who's handsome?" and he coos and smiles. He is outgrowing 3mo clothes already! He had a growth spurt and was nursing non-stop for a few days and was a little fussy. I go back to work next Monday (but only one day a week while I am on my Paid Family Leave). Aiden had lots of visitors this week. Uncle Emmanuel took prom pictures at our house so he got to meet some new faces. Julie came with my parents and Bri brought Britt over. He even shared some smiles with Ricky. My mom and Toddy took him to Costco to get more diapers since he went through 50 in less than a week! He had an upset stomach so now I am on a non-dairy diet. He also tested out his baby bjorn and he LOVES it! We went on a few walks since the weather has been so nice.
