Six Weeks... Where does the time go?

Aiden is already SIX WEEKS OLD!  In my sleepy haze I think I remember saying when AB was a tiny baby that it was amazing that one night/day can seem to go by sooo slowly with a newborn, because you're up all hours of the night and your basically home all day long.  YET- the weeks fly bye...  How can time seem to be moving so slowly, yet at the same time be moving bye so quickly?  

Aiden did begin showing signs of the GERD and we had to get him on meds.  The difference from a parent perspective this time around is that we know that it will pass and he'll grow to be a healthy, strong little man.  When AB was tiny we didn't know what to do, how to help her or when it would ever end.  Because of that experience we're in a more positive place with little Aiden.  Most days are great!  Other days are hairy, but hey, that's life with a new baby.  I am just so grateful to have two healthy peanuts who are growing and learning new things every day.  Aiden has been growing like a champ.  He's roughly (Mommy on the scale by herself-Mommy on the scale with Aiden) 10lbs already!    I feel like his head is growing twice as fast as his body, but that seems to be a common characteristic with our little ones.  :-)  It just means he's cooking up a very large brain in there!  

At 5.5 weeks we saw Aiden's first resemblance of a smile.  It was directly at who else... AB!  I caught this little one on video the next day.  How sweet is that!?

We love to see that little dimple!!  Aiden loves to take a bath.  So much so, that when he's really cranky that is our go to activity.  It calms him right down.  He's holding his head up for periods of time and turning it from side to side.  No rolling yet, but I know that's coming soon.  Tummy time is a little more tricky (and messy) when you've got a little one with acid reflux...  

We love to be outside while we can.  Trips to the park are one of the few outings that are pretty easy and good fresh air for everyone.  My favorite things right now are spending time with my sweet little family and watching Annabelle and Aiden interact with one another.  It is music to my ears when I hear AB having a discussion with Aiden.  She's talking a mile a minute and he's just staring up at her and interjecting a coo here and there to let her know he's very interested in what she has to say.  

His little expressions are so fun to watch and that hair!!  We'll it's not easy having rock star hair at six weeks but some baby has got to do it... I mean rock it!  Heehee
