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
