He’s so excited to be six weeks old!
Time has really flown by! I can’t believe we’ve been parents for 6 weeks. I really don’t remember what life was like before Aidan.
Wait… I’m having a flashback! I’m remembering swollen feet and ankles, feeling really hot and sweaty all the time, and not being able to bend over to pick anything up because my belly was so huge!
I really am glad to not be pregnant anymore. It’s much more fun to have Aidan out of the womb than inside.
Just a couple of new things on Aidan: He’s smiling at us every once in a while. Never on cue though, so we have a hard time capturing it on video or getting a good picture. He has some new toys that he loves. Our friends, the Howard’s, let us borrow a couple of their son Caden’s favorites that he has outgrown. The first is a kick-n-play. Aidan LOVES this one.
He smiles a lot in the kick-n-play. Today he tried to actually kick the toys. We went nuts encouraging and praising him! It’s so fun to see his little milestones.
We bought him a swing because he seemed to love being pushed in his stroller so much. The movement soothes him. He, like most babies, goes to sleep very well in the car and his stroller. We thought the swing might be a good purchase for soothing him at home.
And because I got tired of pushing the stroller around the house! 
I think Babywise would criticize our use of it as a sleep prop, but we’re going with whatever works right now.
Here are some sweet pictures of him with us last night. We just love him so much!
