Naked Time and Tummy Time...




This is one of those times when Aidyn will get older, he will hate me for showing these pictures, but it is a my job as a mom!

He is growing like a weed, he is now 13.4 pounds and 24 inches long. Eating like a champ and starting to squeal and shout, it is so great, I can hardly stand it. He is spending time on his tummy and seems to enjoy it for the most part.

And then there is naked time. Our friends Leo and Theresa do this with their son Liam (Hi Guys!) and Michael and I thought it was a great idea, so we have created "Naked Time" after a bath, and he seems to truly enjoy being naked!

How time flies, he will be three months next week!

Family


I thought it was important to show this image, mostly because is shows such a great representation of family and how much they love one another. Once Aidyn was born I had a whole new feeling about family and its importance in mine and Michael's life and now Aidyn's life as well. The love is so strong and is so amazing to have, so I want to send out a thanks to my entire family for being such amazing individuals and such a huge support for Michael and I, even though we are so far away!

We love you all!

Aidyn's First Road Trip.....
















Hi to everyone, I can not believe it has been this long. Not a good habit to get into, and I promise to be better about these updates. This one has taken me a while due to traveling for two weeks to see friends and family in Wisconsin, from which I took way too many pictures, and have been trying to decide what should go up for you all to see.

Aidyn is three months old! He goes to the doc tomorrow, but I would venture to guess he is weighing in at about 14 pounds. Growing like a weed, smiling a ton more, and he has started to squeal a lot....and he has found his thumb. He is mostly sleeping through the night, which is such a great thing for mom and dad! He is a little angel!

Aidyn had a great time on his drive from Santa Fe, New Mexico to Bayfield, Wisconsin....all 25 hours...actually he slept...he ate...he slept some more....quite an easy journey for Michael and I, and we treasured it as we know that is NEVER going to happen again.

We got to spend some time in Bayfield with Aunt Kristen and Grandma and Grandpa Sandstrom, and then down to Milwaukee where he met Grandma and Grandpa Pollack and Grandma and Grandpa Schwerin, his aunt Tricia and uncle David and his cousin Ben, tons of friends...AND he got to meet all is second cousins, and great aunts and uncles, and best yet..he got to met his Great Grandma Sandstrom...what an honor, and what a lot of work for such a little guy.

It was such a great time to be able to share with friends and family, we thank everyone for taking the time to visit with us and for all their constant love and support. There are a bizillion pictures to enjoy....we will post again soon!! I will have more to show you, this is just a sampling! If anyone wants pics let me know and I will send you my shutterfly link to order.

love and peace to everyone!
