Big Weekend!

 This little buddy should be tired!!!  Aiden McCall has just finished his first growth spurt and WHEW!!!  It was a lot of work for this little buddy and his Mommy!  I've been spoiled, only waking two times a night to feed our little man until he hit his 2 week growth spurt.  For three nights we had feedings every 1.5 to 2 hours.  This makes for a very tired Aiden and Mommy!!!  Lucky for us these little spurts don't last long.  We're both getting back on track. :-)

Eating hasn't been a problem and so this little guy is growing fast.  Aiden had his first well visit with Dr. Barrett on Friday.  He is now 7lbs and 5oz & 21 inches long!  Not bad for 13 days old!  He received a 'clean bill of health' from the Dr. which made Mommy and Daddy very very happy.

 Other firsts... Was our first bath, on Thursday.  Annabelle was a very big help.  It's so much fun sharing these little moments with her and letting her help.  She just loves her baby brother so much!  Aiden didn't seem to mind his bath.  He didn't cry, but did have a look of concern most of the time.  He's a pretty easy going dude, which is nice.  

On Friday night, Aiden attended his very first Swansea Road get together.  Then on Saturday entertained Great Grandma and Grandpa Newman, Silly Grandpa and Yaya, Aunt Teresa and Uncle Dave, Cousin Holly, James, Levi and Kaden!!  It was great that everyone could come and meet our little dude.  Later that night we had fun with Emily, Noah and Josie.  It's so nice for Annabelle to have friends over.  Grown-ups are fun, but it's hard for her to share their time with Aiden right now...  Friends are the prefect medicine for that little bit of jealous fever.  :-)  

 On Sunday, we had Nana and Pap over for a visit!  Then AB and Daddy went on a special date!  Beauty and the Beast at the Palace.  Annabelle got all dressed up in her 'Belle' dress and headed out for a memorable afternoon with her very own Prince Charming...  They had a lot of fun but were both pretty tired by the time they got home.  It was a big weekend but one that was very fun and blessed with such wonderful family and friends.  

We are all very lucky and very loved...
