Tickle Monster!

Hello Everyone! Aiden and I were playing yesterday and I made Jamie record our tickle fun. It's a little long, next time I'll make it shorter or learn how to edit! We hope this makes you smile as much as we smiled!

Our Little Chunky Monkey!

Aiden and I went to the doctor today just to check his ears. He's been pulling on them and acting a little more cranky than normal. We found out that he didn't have an ear infection, but we found out he's 15 pounds, 7 ounces!!

As I said before we were having troubles with his feeding. He wanted to eat all the time, and that would be why he's 15 pounds, 7 ounces and at the 75% for weight. Now that I switched him to a bottle, he slows down and eats less frequently. He's also been moving around more, so maybe that will help his body shape in the near future!

As you can see from the tub picture, he's healthy!

Aiden got his 3 month pictures taken. Here is a link to view his pictures.

Jamie and I went to Cirque De Soleil - Kooza for our 3 year anniversary. It was really good, if any of you get a chance to see it before they leave St. Paul, I would take advantage of it. The cheap seats are just fine!!

Grandma Mary got to watch Aiden while we were at Kooza. She got a little taste of what she will be faced with this fall when I go back to work. Aiden acted "strange" with her. But she shouldn't feel too badly about it. He's been doing that to a lot of people lately. But I've been noticing that if he sees them for a little bit, then he feels comfortable and will go to them.


After much debate, we decided to find another happy home for my Winnie. I guess after you have a baby, you have less time for your bunny. We found a home for her, and she's the happy pet to a 2 1/2 year old boy. I'll miss Winnie, but at least she's getting more attention than she was getting here. I decided not to tell the new owner that Winnie escaped from the garage two weeks ago and was out all night. Hopefully there are no little Winnies in the oven, if you know what I mean!

Summer Time

Summer is going by so fast and Aiden's been growing like a weed. We're not sure, but we think his is teething. His fist is always in his mouth like the below picture. Usually you can hear him gag himself. And there is usually a ton of drool on his shirt. Everyday I check, but no teeth yet.

Aiden is now big enough to play in his car. When we first put him in he would just eat the steering wheel. Now he hits the horn and jumps around. I fear he will be a crazy driver someday.

We borrowed a swimming pool from Grandma Vicky. He really seemed to like it. I can't wait until this fall when we can take him to a swimming lesson.

He still loves his swing. This was a big smile that I got after a nap in the swing.

Aiden had a little case of cradle cap. I combed and combed and got it all, but his hair was spiked for two days. I think he looks cool!

As you can see Aiden is growing. We're not exactly sure, but we think he's around 14 pounds. He will go to the doctor on July 28th and we'll find out for sure.

Life with Aiden has been a lot of fun. We're trying a couple different things with feeding Aiden. I've been pumping and then giving him food in a bottle most of the time throughout the day. We've been giving him some formula. We could barely stretch his feedings to 2 1/2 hours. We were mostly feeding him every two hours, and I was going crazy! But now that I know how much he's getting we're at about ever 3 hours.

We've gone on a couple of trips to Grandma and Grandpa Stoffel's camper in Garrison, MN. He sleeps most of the three hour drive, which is nice.

He really loves music. I think he's been trying to sign with me lately.

I have about 6 weeks left of being home with Aiden. Everyone said that it would go by fast! I can't believe how fast it really did.

We hope everyone is doing well. Take care!!
