The blog is updated :)

I know it's been a while since the last blog update. We are still trying to figure out our routine now that I am back at work, and to be honest, when I get home and on my days off I would rather play or snuggle with Aiden than update the blog! He has been doing really good, he has been eating more and last week weighed in at 11 lbs 3 oz. His nurse comes tomorrow so hopefully he continues his good weight gain.

I am thinking of starting him on "big boy" food in a couple weeks when he is 6 months corrected age. He is really starting to watch me eat - follows the spoon from my plate to my mouth and looks curious. He is also waking up more at night to eat - I'm thinking maybe he needs something that sits in his tummy a little longer at night. He has such good head control when he is sitting and now that he has figured out that he can sit up (with help), he doesn't like to lay down that much anymore - except when he is sleepy.

Chillin' on his surfboard mat, smiling at daddy. He is such a happy baby. He smiles all day long, especially when momma and daddy come home from work and in the morning. Sometimes he wakes up at 4am smiling, talking and kicking in his bed. It is so cute, I have no choice but to play with him, even though I know I should be ignoring it so he goes back to sleep :)

He likes looking at us upside down, it usually makes him smile, he thinks it is funny. He usually gets really serious when he sees the camera though.

He is trying to be a little thumb sucker. He gets his little thumb in his mouth and chews on it, but he hasn't quite gotten the suction part down yet. The other day he had one thumb in his mouth and the other thumb in his eye.

He has really been interested in playing with his toys lately. The cow above is one of his favorites, it's the one he laughed so hard at a few weeks ago. He fell asleep yesterday with it gripped tightly in his hands. He also loves his mirror, ball and crinkly little sun toy that we take everywhere with us. He loves putting them all in his mouth!

He still sees his occupational therapist once a week and a child development specialist every other week. They are both very happy with his progress, his OT says he gets stronger every week. He likes to see them, for him it is just playtime! He always smiles alot when he sees his therapists and his nurse, they are his friends :)

So, thats about it. He is just so darn cute, Jeremy and I just sit around making funny faces and noises at him and watching him smile back at us. We love him so much and are so excited at every new thing he does!
