Aidan Two Month Update

My baby brother Aidan is 2 months old already!  He's definitely growing, and he's also smiling and cooing and getting more fun everyday!  He's still our super chill, go-with-the-flow little man, and he loves to come with us everywhere we go.

Here is Aidan trying to figure out how to talk.  He's gotten better at it since then and can actually make some cooing noises now.  It's so cute to watch him try!

Aidan One Month Update

My baby brother Aidan is 1 month old already!  Can you believe it?!  It's been a very fast month because we've kept pretty busy.  Between Liam and I going to school, church activities, my dance class, swimming lessons, and all the other things going on in our lives, little Aidan has been carted along with our family to all kinds of places already.  He's a trooper!

We are all so happy that Aidan is here and can't wait to see him grow and see what he learns in the next month!

Baby Aidan is here!

Last week, Mommy went to the hospital because my new baby brother Aidan was ready to come out!  He was a few weeks early, but he was ready!  Mommy got sick on Monday night and Tuesday, and then had to go the hospital on Tuesday night because baby Aidan was getting ready to come, but then she and Daddy came home on Wednesday because he started to change his mind.  Then after Liam and I went to bed on Wednesday night, he must have changed his mind again, because Mommy and Daddy went back to the hospital and he was born that night!

First snuggles with a very tired Mommy

7 lbs 6 oz and 20 in (that's pretty big for 3 weeks early!)

Meeting Daddy

When Liam and I woke up on Thursday morning, Papa was at our house because Mommy and Daddy had gone to the hospital (for the second night in a row!).  Aunt Hilary came over to stay with us because Papa had to go to work, and then finally later that morning Daddy came and brought us to the hospital to meet baby Aidan.

I LOVE holding him!

Hanging out with Daddy

Isn't he so cute?!

Here we are hanging out as a family of 5 for the first time:

Lots of other friends and family came to visit and meet Aidan while he was in the hospital with Mommy, too.

Our first picture as a family of 5... Liam wasn't too happy about it!

On Friday afternoon, Mommy and Aidan finally got to come home.  After 3 nights sleeping in a hospital, Mommy was ready for her own bed!  So far we are loving having Aidan, "the little man," home with us.  He is sweet and quiet most of the time!  He sleeps a lot and loves to cuddle or just hang out on the couch with us.  The only thing he doesn't like is changing his diaper.  Sometimes that makes him pretty mad!

Ready to head home from the hospital

I'm such a proud big sister!

Liam is very sweet with Aidan and likes to hold him sometimes and kiss him, too!

We just love this little man so much!
