Busy, busy . . . and Aiden is 4 months

This past month has flown by with two bachelorette parties, a bachelor party, a baby shower, and two weddings. It has been a lot of fun but hasn't given me much time to update my blog. And Aiden is already four months old.

All the wedding festivities were for a good friends Emily and Brian, and Jennele and Ryan. We want to say congrats to the two great couples and Emily and Jennele were both beautiful brides.













Aiden is growing like a weed and has accomplished a lot of firsts this past month. He now smiles all the time and can hold a conversation with lots of coos. He finally giggles, which I love and have been waiting for! He is starting to grab for toys and jump in his jumperoo. We are still working on rolling over (he hates being on his tummy) which he is a little slow compared to Aubrey at this time. I looked back in Aubrey's baby book and at this time Aubrey could roll across a whole room at this time. Instead of rolling over Aiden just turns himself in circle on his back to move around. It has also been a tough month on him (and on mommy and daddy) because he has been sick twice. When he is sick he only sleeps when someone is holding him and that is for only for about 45 minutes to an hour at a time (not too much sleeping going on at night at our house). He also is a puker and will cough so hard and make himself throw up - my poor baby. These past weeks daycare has been writing on his sheet that "Aiden misses his mommy" which melts my heart but I know then he was probably pretty fussy for them. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. His four month check-up is next week so I will have stats on how big my little boy is then.





Lots of pictures from the past month: (they may be a little out of order)

4th of July


We had a busy 4th of July weekend with lots of activities. My brother, sister-in-law, and baby Lucas were in town from Dayton, Ohio, so we spent most of the weekend at my parents house to spend as much time with them as we could. Five kids two and under there all weekend seemed like a daycare, but it was fun. We enjoyed lots of swimming and eating outside all weekend. On Sunday we started our day off with the kids parade in Hales Corners where the kids had fun riding in their wagons, eating ice cream, and getting flag tatoos. My parents had a party by the pool so the rest of the day was spent swimming and catching up with lots of family. We also made it to our friend Emily's family party for the evening and then Dominic took Aubrey to the fireworks, where she was given a high five from Max during the finale (as I was told because I stayed home with Aiden - he will get to enjoy them next year). Today I am enjoying my last day off with the kids and tomorrow I go back to work - 12 weeks really goes by fast!




We also recently got family pictures taken, here is the link if you want to see them.
