Aiden's First flight



Aiden did really well on all of the flights. He slept most of the way to Washington, all the way to California, and part of the way back home to Utah. He was a little fussy on the last flight, but as soon as he started eating he was just fine. Aiden loves to eat! He thinks he’s staving all the time. He still likes to eat at least every two hours and sometimes every hour. This makes it difficult to get much done. I take advantage of his two hour nap during the day to clean and shower. He usually takes at least one good nap during the day and sometimes two. However we try not to let him sleep too much because then he doesn’t sleep at night. Aiden is a fighter when it comes to sleep. He can be completely passed out and then as soon as I lay him down his eyes pop open. This happens usually at least 3 or 4 times before he finally gives in. He just can’t stand to miss out on anything. When he’s awake he loves to be held and walked around and has to be facing out so he can see everything. If you try to snuggle him facing you he arches his back and pushes away. He is already so busy, he’s constantly moving his head from side to side and kicking and flailing his arms. He is so strong. When he is lying on his back he does half sit ups to try to sit up and when he’s on his tummy he pushes himself up with his arms. The first time he rolled over was when he was 7 1/2 weeks old. Of course he didn’t realize what he was doing, but still I couldn’t believe it! He has rolled over a couple more times since then. I have to be careful not to leave him places where he might roll off.

That sounds a lot like Brooklyn! She always wanted to face out and was not really a cuddler. Even now she only cuddles when she wants to and only as long as she wants (which is usually short).
