Oh my first time in Jeans! ---- why do I have to wear pants in AZ???
Okay - mommy says it is chilly now here so I will wear my jeans and be happy.

sleeping in the swing is hard work.


my first night in my own bed with out the travel bed and bumpers.....no wonder I didn't sleep here all night. Too much room to roll and scoot around.

my nap in my play mat.



I am just so peaceful.

Our Weekend

So we will start off with Friday - it was busy day for us all. Aedyn and I went all the way into town to send money to Vietnam and the Vietnamese bank was closed......well then back to our side of the world. Stopped by the BX and bought some more little tummy's for her and had some lunch.

Not too much else for our afternoon - daddy came home and we spent the evening hanging out around the house.

Saturday was quite a boring day all in all. We stopped by Tar.get and Babies R.Us to use our really good coupons before they expired for Aedyn's diapers/wipes and formula. We save quite a bit of money and are quite stocked up on all for the time being. I like to keep an eye out for sales and money saving to streatch our buck and not be left with having to pay full price for anything I can get for a bargain :)

Today - we were running a little late for church, as Aedyn decided at 3AM that she didnt want to sleep in her room, so I wisked her off into bed with me and she finally fell asleep and it was just after 6AM when she woke up ate and crashed again until 930 - thus the reason we were running late.

She has taken quite a liking to her swing and we have found that there are times when she just doesnt want to be held! She will either want to be in her swing or just laying down. We are figuring it out one by one.

7 weeks

So Aedyn was wide awake when the 7 wk mark hit - 12:15 this morning.

She has had a long week thus far. The days however are all beginning to run together. She had a few rough spots a couple of late nights - with fussiness. But all in all she is doing great.

She tends to stay awake for a lot longer first thing in the morning through the afternoon.

No big adventures, last night we took her to the new Super Target - and she got pretty fussy, so we cut the trip short and came home, gave her a bath, and then she settled down for the night.

It was a short night, with feedings every 2 hours, until she finally finished a whole 2 oz at 5AM and then slept with me until 8:30, that was nice!

She played a little bit this morning.....

she really does like her little play mat.caught mid yawn!just daddy's little girl hanging out.oh something else caught my attention.wacking the hanging toys!okay, i am too cute and bored now!

Sunday Sunday

So last night was not so bad once we got her calmed down, she fell asleep in the boppy and we finally moved her into her little bed within mommy and daddy's bed. She slept quite sound for a good part of the night. Her nights once asleep are pretty good, she gets her diaper changed and eats and falls asleep quickly.

We got up for church and she was not too hot about going to chuch but once we were there she was great, not fussy at all. We even got a quick trip for a few more groceries. She is really starting to enjoy being in her swing(s). I have found her falling asleep one too many times in the swing, but if it makes her happy - who am I to complain. I will just need to find something to stabalize her little bobbing head from slouching over.

So I got a semi smile out of here just a few minutes ago after taking her out of the swing and putting her in the living room travel crib.

6wks and growing

Well we left off with Wednesday - just before Aedyn hit the 6 wk mark.

Thursday was a nice day, Aedyn and mommy went to visit Ms Barbara and had a lovely lunch and chat. Aedyn was asleep most of the time and was such a good little girl.

She had a pretty nice evening - with a bath. Then came a rough night at bed time, Aedyn was so not going to go to sleep easily. Not sure if her tummy was upset or what, but we tried everything to sooth her and nothing worked. It was well after midnight when she fell asleep. I woke up to her stirring about 455am - I was so freaked out it had been well over 4 1/2 hours since she ate! I got her fed, and we laid down in bed together for a few hours and then got up for mommy's doctor appointment.

It seems that after all those hours of pushing, i pulled some ligaments in the very lower area of the back - I have been having trouble sitting and getting up from a sitting position for weeks now. Chiropractic visits were not helping this area at all.....and now I will be heading off to physical therapy to work those ligaments back into a workable condition and hopefully the pain of sitting and getting up will disappear soon.

After the visit - we headed over to visit our friend Lori and her new born son Jake - oh is he the most handsome little guy! Aedyn got her first kiss from Jake too :) He was born a week ago today at a whopping 8lbs 10oz! I think he gave Aedyn a little lesson in eating a bit more, for the first time ever she ate just over 3oz!!! Oh yes, Jake can eat 3-4 oz per feeding already.

Last night daddy took feeding duty all night - he is a great husband and a great dad! I did wake up with every stir she had, but it was nice to get some really good sleep. She ate very well last night too! I hope she is having a growth spurt. She is getting quite long and skinny. I know she is gain weight and doing well.

Today was a pretty somber morning and afternoon. We did go to target and babies r us today - all shopping for Aedyn, diapers and formula and returning some unnecessary items. However since we have gotten home, she has been in quite a tyrate with the crying and screaming. She has a clean diaper and a full tummy - so we are not sure what is going on, maybe just fussiness and overly tired.

So I am off to spend the rest of the evening with daddy and Aedyn - hopefully she will settle down and sleep well tonight.

October 1

A new month already - tomorrow Aedyn will be 6 wks old - I can hardly believe it! 6WEEKS!!!

She has grown so much, I just dont know how much yet, 2 weeks and we'll have the 2 month appointment.

She is finally starting to eat a little more but at the same time a little less.

She sips here and there all day long but in the evening she prefers to eat her entire 2 oz, we have given her a little bit more 15 mL or so once or twice. I am hoping that she begins to eat more regularly with greater quantity - after all she is a growing girl.

Last night, she was a little upset - so I stayed up with her until she fell asleep, then it was about 1 hour before her next feeding so I really really tried to stay awake....but that was a no go. And thank goodness, since she didnt get up until an hour and a half later.
Unfortunately, she woke up every 2 hours last night because she was hungry again!
By 530 this morning, when daddy was getting up to get ready for work, i fed her and layed her on my chest and we went back to sleep until 830! It was great and good sleep.

She has had a pretty good day today - we went to visit our great friend Angellicia and her mom. Tomorrow will be visiting with Barbara - mommy's friend from the base. And on Friday, we get to finally meet Jake (Jacob) - Lori's new born son! Our week is so full of friends.

The weekend is planned to be spent with daddy and mommy - chilling with little Aedyn around the house and church on Sunday.

Next week is just as busy for mommy and Aedyn - i dont think it will ever slow down with her.
