Aiden's One Month Video:)

I have a newfound obsession with iMovie-here's a slideshow of Aiden's first month-enjoy:)

Happy Birthday Grandpa Rogers!

Aiden is an active bug...

Here is a video of Aiden enjoying his playmat...you can even hear his little voice (ignore me talking!):)  It's so awesome to watch Aiden as he is starting to explore the world around him with his hands and eyes!  In between naps, he loves his activities-hanging out on the play mat, listening to his mom read while he is being rocked, hanging out in the carrier, riding in the car seat, tummy time, dancing and listening to music, and of course he continues to be fascinated with the bouncer!  I am starting to see a few smiles, but have yet to capture them on camera.  Hopefully soon we can post one of his adorable smiles...

Yesterday, Aiden had a weight check at the doctor.  He has grown a whole two pounds since birth weighing in at 8 pounds, 8 ounces:)  He is still in the tenth percentile for weight, but we are glad to see that he is healthy and growing!

A Quick Update...

So we have introduced Aiden to a bottle this past week as you can see in the picture below!  He took to it like a champ and loves his feeding time with Daddy (while I enjoyed a few extra hours of sleep last night while Chris did the late night feeding):)  Tomorrow, Aiden goes in for a weight check at the doctor's office.  I am so curious to see how much he has grown since our two week appointment.  We feel like he is growing so quickly (and balding!), but compared to other babies his age...he is still a wee one!

And since Aiden has been in the Rogers family, the dogs haven't made many appearances on the blog, so here is a little tribute to them.  The dogs are still very curious about Aiden, but have definitely had some difficulty adjusting to sharing us with someone new!  Let's just say that we have been cleaning up accidents a lot more often in the past month...most likely due to the arrival of Aiden and the freezing, snowy weather we have had!  We are working on getting them back into a routine and are looking forward to some warmer weather so it's a lot easier to walk these two crazy doggies!

Happy One Month!

Aiden celebrated his one month birthday last Friday! 

Aiden Meets Grandma and Grandpa Rogers!

Aiden said good-bye to Grandma and Grandpa Rogers today, but had a wonderful time with them.  Chris' parents flew out on Friday to finally meet the little guy!  They had a blast getting to know their first grandchild-they loved to cuddle and snuggle with him:)  Thanks so much for coming to visit and hope you had a safe trip back to Iowa!

A fun visitor and a video of sleepy Aiden!

This week, we were lucky to have one of my closest friends, Molly, come to visit from Wisconsin!  Molly and I lived together for all of our college years and life isn't quite the same without her around.  We really enjoyed having her here and so glad that Aiden got to meet her:)  Molly and I had a great time seeing each other-and even ventured out with little Aiden for a few shopping excursions and lunch!  Aiden has been fabulous every time we are away from the house-lucky mama:)  He would fall asleep on the car ride and stay sleeping wherever we went!   Molly and I also enjoyed some cooking, cheesy television, and just catching up on life. Molly, thanks so much for coming and we hope to see you again soon!  Now, we are looking forward to Aiden meeting his grandparents, Grandma and Grandpa Rogers, who are arriving this evening!

Here is a video of Aiden as he sleeps!  He is such a peaceful but active sleeper-isn't he adorable?  I can't believe that Aiden is four weeks old today!  It's amazing to watch him grow and become more alert.  He is such a happy baby-just looking around and taking in the world around him!
