Christmas

Aidens first Christmas was great. He got so many things, I have no clue how he will ever manage to play with them all. We woke him up early so he was fussy all day, and with all the excitment and people he just wasn't himself, but it still turned out to be a good day. Everyone came to mine and anthony's house for breakfast & to see Aiden open all of his presents. We wen't to April's later on that day. Aiden has also started to say "Da-Da", he won't say it all the time, but usually if I repeat it to him over and over again he will finally say it to me. He weighs 17 lbs. 1 oz. without any clothes on now, the last time we wen't to the dr. he weighed 17.2 with clothes and a wet diaper, but as of yesterday it is 17.1 and 26 inches long. He dosn't even look like the same baby anymore, he is growing up so fast! He will be 6 months on Saturday, so crazy. I wished time would slow down a little.

I am proud to say that Aiden is over being sick. It took him about 10-12 days to fully recover from his cold, but i'm so thankful he's feeling better. He's been having trouble sleeping through the night though, so i'm hoping it is just a phase he is going through and that things will get back to normal soon. Another milestone, he has also started sitting up by himself now! He also has learned to clap his hands together, which he does quite often and even takes little baby steps when we hold him up on his feet. He is growing up so quickly. We have stayed pretty busy lately so I haven't had much time to update, however I am proud to say that I am DONE with school for the semester! I passed all of classes except for History which I will have to retake next year. My dental hygiene course requires that I pass all of my core classes with a C or better, and unfortunately I came out of my history class with a D. But, it will all work out. We also took Aiden to visit Santa on Saturday. He wasn't a fan at all. The ladies did get a great picture although he looks worried to death, but it's too cute!

Dear Hectic Week,

My little angel has been sick this week. He woke up last Sunday night with a fever of 103 so we gave him some medicine, and it came down a little. The next morning we took him to the doctor (last time this happened we rushed him to the ER in the middle of the night, but after waiting there for 5 hours and having them do nothing but tell us to take him to the Dr. in the morning we decided to go a different route this time) anyhow, the doctor did some blood work and found that he had some sort of virus, said it could possibly be roseola, and that he may break out in a rash in a couple of days, but that never happened. He's fever went away and now he's just having a stuffy nose and a little cough. Needless to say he has been extremely fussy this week and I have been exhausted. Hearing a crying baby all day every day gets tiring. But, I'm glad he's starting to feel better. I hate seeing him sick. When we took him to the doctor he weighed 17 lbs. 2 oz. He's growing so quickly it's crazy. He has officially mastered rolling around EVERYWHERE. So we can no longer take our eyes off of him for even a second. He's into everything, but it's so cute. He is into all of the Christmas presents as well. Being a mom is the most wonderful feeling. I'm crazy to say it, but if I was out of college I'd definitely have another one. Babies are such a blessing. Hopefully i'll get a new camera soon so I can start updating with pictures.
