Giggle Update!

So in the post below i said Aiden had yet to giggle since Saturday, well we were playing before bath time and i had him going! Too cute! Tristan has yet to hear it and i know once he gets home and i tell him he did it again he is going to be bummed he missed it.

14 weeks old

This last Saturday Aiden giggled for the first time! It was sooo cute. He has yet to do it again, but we are working on it! We roll him over all the time too and it looks like he is trying to do it himself now, so im hoping that comes soon. Aiden is really grabbing at toys now too, and our faces. Today he loved to go for Dads nose. He is eating more at a time and going longer between feedings now too. We are loving that! He is such a good sleeper, he is in bed between 9 and 10 and will wake up anywhere between 4-7am, eat and go back to bed for a few hours, unless its 7, then we keep him up! He is such a happy boy, we are very blessed to have him in our lives.

Christmas

We really had a white Christmas this year! We had plans to spend Christmas Eve with Trent and Lisa and Christmas Day at my parents, but we had a few feet of snow and could not get anywhere. So we celebrated Christmas on Friday! We are still having a hard time in our development with all the snow, but once we get out of here the roads are ok, for the most part.

Too much snow!!!

Grandma and Grandpa got him this sled, hes ready to go now!

This was Tristan and I's first time meeting Keegan too, and he is a cutie!! We had fun playing with all the boys and running around shopping and wine tasting.

Aiden is getting so big it's crazy! He is smiling all the time and talking to us, he will even stick his tongue out at you if you do it to him! We are having so much fun with him. We are having a group of the Swanson clan out next week for Thanksgiving and we are so excited for them to meet Aiden. It's going to be a crazy week!

9/21/08 Well after a long delivery Aiden made his way into the world at 8 lbs 9 oz at 9:23pm We went to the hospital sunday morning at 10:00, just in time to miss the Vikings football game, and were not able to leave until tuesday night at 9:30. I had a fever during delivery and Aiden was born with one too. He had to have an i.v. in his little arm. Back to that football game! Tristan was able to leave for a bit after I got my epidural and was feeling good. He got to eat and finish watching the game, and they did win, so lets see if Aiden is daddy's little good luck charm!

Well... if Aiden doesnt decide to come on his own before the 1st I will be induced that day. Im hoping I dont have to do that though. We are getting very excited and cant wait to see him.
