Hooray, we made it through monthone. The past week got off to a great start Aiden had a good checkup at the doctor and they said he now weighs 8.8 pounds may not seem like a big increase but each pound sure does make a difference when carrying him for hours throughout the day. Daddy uncovered a sleeping book which recommended putting the baby down at 7pm each night and so far it's worked wonders, he's sleeping for much longer periods and only waking up twice a night. Aiden has also been sleeping soundly in the nursery for about a week and a half in his crib, much to the surprise of our pediatrician - atta boy Aiden. We've used the sleep sheep a couple times and it's worked wonders - thanks Murray's. The fam made it through daddy's first week back at work, it was surely a struggle for him to lose out on nap time and it's taking some time to get used to walking around in a half daze from lack of sleep.
We had some visitors this week, PoPo made a couple of appearances take Aiden on a walk around the neighborhood which afforded a little break to to mommy and daddy. Nancy came to visit on Friday and the little man and the ladies enjoyed a nice lunch out. Daddy took Aiden on his first excursion to Osh and Home Depot - would have been great to be a fly on the wall watching the car seat roll through those stores and the heads turning. Dawn came up to visit and Aiden assisted daddy again in making some home made pasta.
The fam went for a little walk around Lake Lagunitas withJay and Allison and we officially got to introduce Aiden to some of the Mt. Tam beauty.
We took Aiden to walk around the farmer's market on Sunday and then to feed the ducks at the Civic Center, what a trooper. Let' see what week 5 brings.
