Our weekend!

Luke worked nights all weekend so I didn't do much but Aiden and I got to spend some quality time together. Nana (Luke's mom) came over and hung out for a bit on Saturday so that I could get some cleaning done and pay bills. Then we headed over to Danielle's around lunch time to see her and Teaghan. We had a nice visit. My sister Melissa came over with her two kids and it's been a while since they have seen Aiden so it was a good time.

Yesterday, I decided that it was time to let Aiden attempt to feed himself and boy was that fun. Applesauce and green beans were flying around the kitchen. He hasn't grasped the food to mouth concept. Instead he picked up his bowl and flung it across the room. I think there was more food on us than in his belly...hehe...FUN TIMES!!!

Bathtime is getting to be more fun as well. In the beginning, Aiden didn't like to bathe. He cried the minute his little bottom hit the water and didn't stop until he was wrapped up in his towel. Now he loves it. He sits in his little tub and splashes all the water out. Again..I think I ended up with most of it on me. He's at that stage where he's putting everything in his mouth so it's hard to keep the wash cloth away from him. Oh AND his cradle cap is back. I worked so hard to get rid of it and now here we are two months later and it's back....UGG.

My Visit to the Hospital

I went to the hospital and spent some of the day with my little sis and her new baby girl Teaghan yesterday. All I can say is WOW! They both couldn't be doing better. Teaghan is beautiful. She looks just like her daddy, but with my sister's nose (she was doomed either say..hehe, jk guys!) She has a head full of platinum blonde hair. Dan is also doing awesome. I got there and she was fully dressed and bouncing around the room. I know it was only 5 months ago, but I can't remember being so mobile right after I gave birth. Actually, if memory serves me right (it often doesn't), I was in bed for three days afterwards.....IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!

On a side note, for those of you who don't know, Aiden was in the NICU for 7 days because he was diagnosed with pnumonia when he was born. It was very rough, but he had two of the best nurses during his stay. For the last 5 months I have been meaning to send them thank you cards with pics of Aiden. Well, seeing as how I was going to the hospital to see my sis I thought I would just bring them with me and drop them off at the front desk of the NICU. As I was walking down the hall to my sister's room I happened to see one of the nurses. I introduced myself and explained my reasons for approaching her and when I was done she gave me the biggest hug and seemed so tickled that I would think of her. She remembered Aiden, and brought up the fact that on day two of his stay he pulled out his own feeding tube (stubborn from the beginning). I just couldn't help but thank her again and again for what she did for us back in February! It really made both of our days!!
