3 Months Old!

Again, I suck.  I didn't even get a pic of Aaden til he was ready for bed.  I'm going to try to get better!  Here he is on the day he turned 3 months old

Christmas Card (Professional) Pics - Lovejoys

We went out to Aunt Kerry's house on Santa Ana Valley Rd to have the Lovejoys take some pictures of us for our Christmas card.  It is so beautiful out there, the setting is perfect with the Santa Anas in the background, the old barns and open fields.  I think Nick was loving the location.  It was a little drizzly so we had to do it quickly.

Aaden cooperated despite not having a nap.  He was really mesmorized by the camera lens - so we weren't able to get him to crack a smile.  But they came out great!

 

 

 

 

 



And our Christmas card:
(I actually had Cheryl photoshop Aaron's face from another picture because I didn't like the cheesy smile he had in this original picture - thank you, Cheryl!)

Happy Holidays!

2-3 Months

10/30/10-11/29/10

• Aaden's favorite things right now are his swing, the pictures on the wall still, diaper changes!, bright colors, and bullshitting with Pappy (his words, not mine)
• At 11 weeks he started sleeping through the night!!  Woohoo!  He sleeps from about 10pm-5am.  It's so awesome! (the first night was the night of Aaron's surprise 30th birthday party)
• He is becoming more and more interested in his hands.  Everyone notices how much he regards his own hands now.  He looks at them more, moves them more and opening and closing them and also touching more things.
• He started having "conversations" with people where he coos in response to someone talking to him.  It's the cutest thing ever and I have it on video a few times.  He smiles, coos, repeats sounds and he just gets a kick out of it.  The people he likes to "talk" to the most are Pappy, Uncle Alec, and Emmy.
• At 12 weeks he started putting his hands in his mouth a lot more and sucking on them.  He's also sucking his upper lip in...maybe he's starting to teeth??  Or he's just discovering new things.  One night when Ann was holding him, he sucked on her chin so much that it gave her a hickey!!

Said hickey
• I started back to work on the 22nd of November.  It was actually a good week to go back to work since it was only a 2 day work week.  It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, it's nice to get back to the swing of thigs.  Ann came and watched Aaden at the house for us which definitely made the whole work transition easier!
• Aaden had his first Thanksgiving!  No food for him this year though...formula and breastmilk were on his menu ;)  

Giants Win the World Series!!!!!!

It's been a very exciting year for the Giants!  We have been watching all season and there were times where we were sure that they were out of the running but they fought hard, played well and proved to the East Coast that they are contenders!  They beat the Rangers in the World Series on the day that Aaden turned 9 weeks!  It was so freakin' exciting!  It's the first World Series they've won in 56 years and the first they've won since moving to SF in '58.  It was an awesome season and so fun to watch...I like to think that Aaden brought them a little bit of luck ;)
