The Kasten Family: Two Months, Swimming, and Visit from uncle Andre

Aiden is two months old already. We are waiting for our visit to the pediatrician so Aiden and Aubrey can go together next Friday (Aubrey is going to be 2)! I will have stats then, since it will be interesting to see because as you can see from the pictures, Aiden is becoming a big boy. I have had a lot of comments from other people that he seems older than he is because of his size. Aiden still loves to be held all the time and would be permanently attached to me if he could. He is definitely a challenge at times as we are going through a colic phase right now - its hard to not be able to comfort him all the time, but we are handling it as best we can. He is still getting up every 2 hours at night, but will eat and then go back to sleep. Aubrey was like this too for a while, so I am used to not having a sleeper. His biggest milestone is that he is beginning to smile! So sweet - it makes everything worthwhile.

For the Memorial Day weekend, Dominic went to the Indy 500 as he always does, so I packed up the kids and stayed at my parents for the weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather. My dad had the pool ready and warm for Aubrey and she was ready to jump right in - literally. Since taking swim lessons, Aubrey is becoming a great swimmer. She can swim independently with her water wings and loves to jump in by herself, swim on her back and go under. I am sure she will be a fish all summer.

Aiden enjoyed being outside and being lazy lounging in a recliner on the pool deck!

On Monday, we also got a visit from uncle Andre. He took a break from the Cirque de Soleil Elvis show in Vegas to go to Indy and then come meet Aiden for the first time. Aubrey loved playing with him and hopes he comes back soon!
