Aiden had his first shots on Monday. His appointment was at 11 but we didn't see the doctor until 11:45. It would have been nice if the receptionist had just said, "The Doctor had an emergency at the hospital this morning, so there will be a delay."
Anyways---pulled a first time parents thing---didn't bring Tylenol with us. So basically, Aiden didn't get Tylenol until after his nap. I had taken him to daycare, and when he woke up, he just started to cry and didn't stop. Poor little guy.
He had a rough day but by the next morning, he was back to himself.

Steps
Aiden has found his thumb--he has successfully gotten his thumb into his mouth. It still takes him a moment to get it, but he has done it. I realize this isn't something I am going to like or think is cute when it is time to break the habit...but for the moment, it is cute.
Also- Aiden slept for 7 hours in a row last night! WOO HOO!

"I See Love In His Eyes"
Today's post is about Daddy.
This morning, Russ and I were rushing to get out the door, and Russ was putting Aiden in the carseat. He always takes the time to really look at him, and as he picked up the carseat to go out the door, he just casually said, "I see love in his eyes."
The other night, I was breastfeeding Aiden as part of his pre-bed routine. Russ came into Aiden's room to check on us and say goodnight to the baby. He just looked at us, and commented on how amazing it is that my body can grow this child and feed this child.
Russ is truly loving being a daddy, and he is doing a wonderful job at being a daddy. I am so very proud of him, and I love him so much! I look forward to his comments because he is really relishing in the moment and taking it all in.

Stuff
This is the first full week of work and daycare, and Aiden caught a cold early Monday, so I have really struggled with being away from him. I like his daycare but I am finding that I am very possessive of my son and get very upset with how loving my providor is towards my son. I know that sounds weird because it is great that she is kind and loving and gentle and caring towards him...but I am jealous and upset that I can't do that for him all day long, and I am upset that the one day I drop him off and he is awake, she takes him out of my arms. I realize she is probably trying to get me out of the drop so in the future I learn how to drop him off and not create anxiety...but it is only our first full week. I don't know! Plus, he has been doing most of his sleeping in his car seat which bothers me. She has a pack and play and a bouncy seat...
Yesterday, we bought an activity mat and brought it to her. I am hoping she puts him on it. He is really starting to grab for things and look at things, and since I can't be there to stimulate him all day long, I really hope she is doing it. I will look forward to seeing his notes tonight when I get home.
The other day I said, "My son....," and it was just like saying my husband or my finance for the first time. It gave me the shivers!
I bought a "hooter cover" the other day too. I hope it works well. Aiden doesn't like to be covered up while nursing, and he does horrible nursing when I have him covered. The hooter cover has a good bit of ventilation, so I hope that this works...I don't want to have to go to a bathroom or dressing room or some corner when he needs to eat and struggle with a blanket, etc.
I know I am rambling...my thoughts are all over the place, and I am just down right tired! I think Russ is going to let me sleep in on Sunday. I can't wait!

Colds and Laughing
Aiden laughed for the first time on Sunday night! It was so precious! I wish you could have all heard him. He was starting to doze on my shoulder...and just gave three little chuckles!
On Sunday night, he didn't want to be put down...he wouldn't let up. He was like that all evening. Well, at 4am, when we got up for a feeding, he was all stuffed up! He has a cold. I called the doctor's office yesterday afternoon because there isn't too much you can do for a little person, so I wanted to know what I could do. I went out and got a vaporizer---it is a frog! So cute! Today, he is still stuffy and didn't really want to eat. He was in a good mood though. Hopefully, I don't get a call from daycare!
