Baby Update!

So our little guy is growing! Not that we didn't already know that! Here are the stats from the Doctor's appointment we had yesterday!

Baby Aedan weighs 12lbs 12oz and is 23 3/4 inches long! He is very healthy and received his first set of shots :( He was a little grouchy the rest of the day :(

On another note, EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE at the Doctor's office yesterday was smitten with the little guy. Everyone who came into the waiting room while we were waiting our turn commented on how cute and adorable Aedan is. When the nurse called us back for our visit we had one lady exclaim "No don't take him! I just want to keep staring at him!" As we walked back the hallway nurses kept poking their heads out of exam rooms to get a peek at the cute baby going by. The Doctor even exclaimed that he has some of the best skin for a baby. We can't help but be so proud of our little guy! Mommy now has two little heartbreakers on her hands! What am I going to do!

2 Months Old!

Baby Aedan is 2 months old! It's so hard to believe! He is growing and changing so much everyday! Oh . . . and still not sleeping through the night! My "breakthrough" from my last post hasn't spawned into a miracle, and I am still seriously sleep deprived! Once or twice a night, it all runs together anymore! We go to the doctors tomorrow, so I'm hoping for some useful advice on what to do.

Now, what can Baby Aedan do at 2 months old? He has developed some serious "focusing" skills. He is focusing on objects and showing interest in "playing" with them. He also likes to sit in his carrier and hold his feet in the air to "check them out." He will also use his feet to reach and touch things that are dangled in front of him. He is beginning to get a little more control of his arms. He can lift his head very well when he is laying on his tummy and has become quite a talker, making lots of ahhhh and oooh sounds! He smiles and laughs, when he doesn't have his serious face on. And much to Mommy's dismay, we suck our thumb when the binky is not available for comfort! We just love watching him discover his own little world . . . each day is something new!

I'm still hoping that soon we'll experience a full night of sleep! Until then I'm investing in toothpicks for my eyelids!

I will update with details from our doctors visit tomorrow!

A break-through (sort of)!

Just a quick post to say that I have had two nights of Aedan sleeping from 10pm until 4:00am (actually 4:30 the first night and 4:00 the second). Consecutive nights, nope, not even close! But hey, I'll take any night where I can get more than 4 hours of consecutive slumber, I don't care if it only happens once a month! It's better then nothing! Now, if I can just figure out what is making him sleep longer on these rare occassions.

In other "mom" news . . . today is my little man's last day of 1st grade! School's out for summer! I can't believe that Tyler is graduating to the 2nd grade, god how that makes me feel old! Not to mention sad! My first baby is no longer a baby! Soon it will be school dances (do they still have those, I wonder?) and driver's licenses, Prom and graduation, college . . . I'm just not ready for this! I'm not ready for how it makes me feel. Just the thought of watching my first go through all of these events in life brings tears to my eyes! Aedan is just a baby, but I know that in the blink of an eye, he'll be a busy-body 7 year old, just like his big brother is now! If we could only freeze time and keep them small and cuddly forever!

Here's a picture of my two boys on T's last day of school!

Pictures!
