1 month

I can't believe it has been 1 month! it has gone by sooo fast and yet I can't remember what life was like before he came! My friend Lisa said it best when she saw him for the first time she said, "he fits in so perfectly, its like he has always been here" With Brinley I managed to take a month picture every month I am hoping to do this with Aiden as well. his will have the same backdrop (the quilt I made) so we can see how much he grows/changes

Here is his 1 month picture:

He was sort of fussy...but still REALLY cute! (Yes-I did get his name appliqued on the quilt, but decided to leave the poka-dots off)

I only have 2 more weeks of maternity leave left...sniff

so Brad gave Aiden his first bottle last night-so he will take it for the babysitter. He took it without any complaint. Now please don't get me wrong... I am grateful for his willingness and in 2 weeks it will be one less thing to worry about...but I was a little sad...he could have protested a little...if only for my benefit ;)

Now normally I can pump for bottles like no ones business! (sorry if this is tmi)

but I am having a bit of trouble

and that trouble is... Brinley

she is FACINATED by the breastpump

it is unnerving to have my five year old STARE at me while I am using it

I have tried to hide

I have tried to occupy her with something else

But I swear she hears that machine turn on and she hunts me down

to stare

with my boobs at her eye level

she even rested her head in her hand and just wanted to watch

until I kicked her out of the room

and so she cried

and that is almost as unnerving as the staring

almost

To Remind Me When You Are Grown

2 weeks
It has gone by so fast
you have already changed so much
(why do babies have to grow so fast is every mother's woe)
I never want to forget...

*how tightly you liked to be wrapped up. Gagam and I called you a baby buritto
(now you prefer to have your arms free)

*your chin quiver

*how you fold up your legs so tight, so they almost dissappear into your bottom half

* the peach fuzz on your perfect ears...and cheeks...and back...

*all your grunts, snorts, squeaks, and snuffling. And how you work up to a full cry, with a bunch of squawks.

*the hiccups you get 4 or 5 times a day

*how cute you looked in your froggie outfit.

(funny thing is, we almost exchanged this for a bigger size. We thought there was no way our baby would fit in anything so small. Luckily, we never got around to it...you only fit in 5 or 6 things those first two weeks. Your homecoming outfit was so big, that when I got you dressed and picked you up to put in the carseat that your pants slipped right off and fell on the floor! it was a 0-3 month size)

*how the first or second night home, you went through ALL 5 or 6 of those outfits...darn blowouts!

*how your sisters love to hold you...fight over who gets to hold you..and stare at you like you are the most amazing thing EVER!

*how you had a MASSIVE spit-up...on emily...on her 12th birthday

*how you get really fussy SECONDS before you fall asleep

*how much you dislike being on your tummy

*how you cry during sponge baths and whenever we put lotion on you

*how aunt stephanie is a baby hog and won't let any one else hold you

*that new baby smell...
even when I smell like spit up and dried breastmilk...you somehow manage to smell wonderfully delicious.

*how your hair gets messy and sticks up

*your squishy cheeks-that I can't stop kissing and nibbling

*how you go cross-eyed when I or emily take one too many pictures

*how you gag when ever I try to give you a binky
(you will take it from anyone else)

*worrying that you will never learn take a nap, unless someone is holding you. But not having the desire to actually put you down.

*how deep you sleep in your bassinett. I check to make sure you are breathing at least twice every night... since you wake up about every 2 hours to nurse...I am not sleeping much...

*how much we will all miss gagam. she stayed for 2 weeks and took care of everything else...so you and I could exist in our own little world...she made us take naps...fed us all...cleaned up after us...EVERYTHING...what will we do without her

*how your favorite position to be held is your head under my chin

*by two weeks you could focus on faces for a few seconds

*on Sunday, you smiled at me...it was a perfect moment...full of contentment...no one will ever convince me it was just gas.

I believe there is a moment when a mother and her babys spirit recognize each other from a previous existence. Sometimes it happens when they first meet in this world, other times a bit later. It happens for just a moment, as if it say, I knew you and loved you before the world was...and I will love you forever.
