Three weeks

I can't believe it's been three whole weeks since Aiden was born. To me, it feels like only three days. He is growing so fast and getting really long. I love to watch him, smell him, feed him.....etc. He is just a joy to have in our home.

Aiden is a great baby. He goes to sleep for the night about 10:30 or so after one last feeding and then usually wakes up about 3:30ish. He's up for half hour to an hour eating and then back to sleep again until about 7 or 8!! I've got it really good right now which I'm very thankful for because it takes me forever to get back to sleep!! My girls usually wake me up in the morning before he does. I also love that he usually wakes up at the same time because Trauma Center is always on at that time in the middle of the night on the discovery channel;) He also usually takes a long nap right at the same time as Jordyn does!!

He nurses really well. Sometimes it takes a little longer for him to latch on one side but other than that, it's going great. And he never made me sore and cracked which I will be forever grateful for. I was in quite a bit of pain for awhile with both of my girls and I was just waiting for it to happen again!! So happy that it didn't.

Aiden rarely cries. He only fusses if he is hungry and even then he gives me some warning. He does this cute this snorting through his nose for a bit. It's my cue to get him fed. But if I'm doing something else and don't get to him in time, he will start doing this high pitched screech and then a full on cry. It usually doesn't get to that point unless I'm in the middle of doing something like taking a shower or putting Jordyn to bed. He won't even cry if he's poopy. He is just a very laid back baby boy! I'm very lucky!! I hope it lasts!

He is adorable! I'm so glad he is such a good baby. Luke was my best baby. We were spoiled with him, then the girls really tested our patience. :)
