New Things

This was a fun day. Our little one is slowly learning to sit by himself (obviously we have a long way to go). I think we need to buy him a bumbo chair so that he can sit up by himself and not fall.

We also bought Aidan this swing because he doesn't really like his bouncer anymore. It's cute, it's called "How Now Brown Cow"

My brother in law told me that I need to learn to orientate my videos so that you can watch them correctly. He told me that I need to hold the camera landscape instead of portrait.

Next time I will try that.

baby update

Aidan is almost 4 months old! I can't believe it!

I have been back to work since Nov 4th. Aidan stays 3 days at the babysitters (a lady in the Relief Society presidency watches him) and the other 2 days at his great-grandma's.

He is getting so spoiled at his great-grandma's. I don't have to bring a diaper bag over to her place because she has it all. (don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for it....it definitely saves us a little bit of money)

She bought him this outfit in the picture. Isn't it cute?

2 months old

I can't believe how the time flies! My little angel, Aidan, is 2 months old. Seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.

Aidan is such a joy to us! He has already started smiling (not just gassy smiles either) and it just melts my heart when I see it. Josh brought him into our bed one morning to wake me up and as soon as Aidan saw me, he got the BIGGEST smile on his face! :)

Aidan is VERY soon getting a cousin and I am finally becoming an aunt...my sister went into the hospital today at around 1:30.

I am such a camera happy mommy, I love to capture as much of his little moments as I can. Hope no one gets sick of these cute pictures!

Harry Potter #7

Yes I am a Harry Potter fan! I wasn't always.

I remember when I was still living at home and my mom was watching movie #1 and I saw it and thought........what a movie for little kids! It wasn't until one day that I was very bored that she was watching movie #3 and I just sat on the couch and watched. Somehow I fell in love with it and I had to start reading the books.

Now it's onto the final chapter (in two parts) of a series that I didn't want any part of at first to a series that I can't get enough of. I'm a dork but every time I see a preview for it, I start to freak out! LOL

one month old!

Aidan is one month old now! My how time flies! I love my sweet little guy, he brings me joy everyday!
One morning, Josh had him in bed with us and was looking at Aidan and said, "you have only been here for a month and yet it seems like you've always been here" It was so cute!!






Some things about Aidan:

1. 1. he hates being undressed
2. he is good at taking baths except for screaming when he comes out of it, but calms back down when he is all wrapped up in his towel
3. He likes to put his hands in the way when we are trying to feed him a bottle.
4. He grunts a lot when he is sleeping.
5. He has a very expressive face and I love just watching it.

I am so glad to have this little one in ours lives!

In other news, about 3 more weeks and I will be the last girl in my immediate family to become an aunt............my sister Mindee is due on Nov 10th!

one week

I can't believe that my baby turned 1 week old on Sunday!

Motherhood is sure a big challenge sometimes, but my little angel is worth it! How can you resist this?

I know he's just an infant and this will change, but he's ALWAYS ASLEEP! :) He hasn't been too fussy at night either.

Josh is a big help to me. We share feeding time during the night. Josh is quite the master at feeding and diaper changing. I swear Aidan screams while I change him, but with Josh he doesn't seem to. Silly boy!

Josh is a great father!

I love both the men in my life and am thankful for them everyday!
