Another Milestone!

Aiden is a big boy now and faces front in the car...he thinks it is really exciting and just loves it. I like it but feel like I have hit his head now more than ever? Oh, well just thought I would show everyone the little man's new feat!

Learning to Brush our Teeth

We are helping Aiden learn to brush his teeth (which at this point is to chew on the brush) and we found the last of his little baby bathrobes, this one is getting a bit small but he was running through the house from me as I tried to get his toothbrush back and get him dressed for church. What a little stinker!

Getting ready for church

He would not turn and look at me for anything!

Cooper and Aiden

Aiden is getting so BIG!!! We couldn't help but stop by at the park and enjoy the sunny Saturday afternoon playtime- they are only small once- right?

Dancing Donkey

The Dancing Donkey
So my dad bought Aiden this donkey, he absolutely loves it and plays with it forever. Recently he started dancing to it and it just makes us laugh so hard. The song is getting a bit old but the kid is so cute, who can refuse him. Enjoy

Day 6 of his life, when this really got started!


Today asleep peacefully

2nd sleep study...

Our happy little boy

So last Friday we visited Dr. Lagoc(our pediatrician) anxiously awaiting the results of Aiden's 2nd sleep study, for her to tell us it looks better but that honestly she couldn't tell more than that because she had nothing to compare it to....I was happy that it was better but bummed we couldn't understand more.

That has probably been the most frustrating thing since the first 6 hours of his life with all this stuff, its so new, no one really has answers for you, there is lots of conflicting opinions and you sort of flounder to sort it all out because the option of it going wrong...is well not an option for you as a parent.

Now two sleep studies and a variety of doctors, countless nights of that damn thing going off, never leaving him alone at night for fear that someone else would have to worry about the machine and finally today the pulmonologist Dr. Trevor said "We are free and clear of the monitor"! Wooohoooooooooooooooooooo

Aiden still has some hypopneas (these are hitches in your breath or deep dream sleep and some central apneas) and we have to watch him very close if he develops any snoring or mouth only breathing patterns, but he is healthy happy and gets to sleep tonight with wires around his little baby chest. Now don't get me wrong that machine has allowed me to sleep during the last year and tonight I probably will wake up a 1000 times to check on him, but another milestone passed.

As he has begun ripping the cords out and standing in bed it has been difficult but, now we can just laugh with him instead of being crazed! What a great day

Fun Day at the Park

We love our new Turtle Bay Membership- I can see us spending many Saturday and Sunday's there checking it out!

The world of Eating

We spend a lot of time in this high chair now that Aiden is eating lots of big people food...the funny thing is he takes all baby food and will be totally full but if we have it in our hands or in a cup of course he wants to try...no matter what our stuff just looks so exciting to him. It is so crazy all the new things he is trying and loving...Some of his favorites include; yogurt, cheese, quesdillas, Ritz Crackers (with a passion), toast, spaghetti with sauce, pineapple and anything else on our plates!
