Aiden has now reached his 1 month birthday! Oh... all the things that can happen in a month. Here is what we have learned about Little Minn since his arrival:
1) Loves to eat... who cares if mom feels like a milk factory and is walking around like a zombie?! I'm hungry!
2) Hates the cold, not much different from his parents.
3) He has no control over his bladder or bowels... well, we knew that, but we did not know the explosive nature behind his pee and poo. Disposable changing pads have been a blessing.
4) He can still muster up a good burp over an hour after his last feeding.
5) The "Period of Purple Crying" is no joke. Who knew something that small could make that much noise for so long. Thank goodness for swaddling, the swing, visitors (he loves to be held), and yes, even our really bad singing, which he seems to like (especially when Albert hums the national anthem).
6) Those cheeks are irresistible.
What have we learned about ourselves? Well, we've finally been able to experience the love a parent has for a child, and there are no words for that. We are grateful everyday to have Aiden in our lives and look forward to many more monthly birthdays.
