The First Month

I can't believe that it has already been 4 weeks since Aiden joined our family! Time is flying by so fast, I wish I could slow the seconds down to a crawl, but I cannot. I try to savor every moment with him, drink in every bit of his essence, his little features and expressions. I have managed to take more pictures in the past month than I think I have taken in the past ten years combined, so hopefully I have managed to capture some of these beautiful moments on film.
I think it is safe to say that we are blessed with lots of wonderful family that love us-Aiden is privileged to have 3 great-grandmothers and 1 great-grandfather alive, as well as 4 sets of grandparents. Meeting everyone has been fun, and Aiden is definitely the center of attention! ( I don't think he minds :-)

We have also had our first big excursion, my sister Elizabeth and I took Aiden for his first beach day; we had a picnic in Destin, sat on the sand and enjoyed the beautiful day! Of course no swimming yet, that will come later!

               Enjoying the beach..er sleeping (this is how he enjoys most of our outings:-)

We also took our first big roadtrip-a two hour drive to Robertsdale for Aaron's moms birthday. Aiden loves the car, or at least loves to sleep in the car. He falls asleep pretty much instantly.

 This child gets TONS of kisses, he is definitely going to know that he is loved at a very early age!

I propped him up next to his HUGE stuffed bear, and he was not too sure about that...

                                                 But he got over it :-)


I could go on and on, but I won't bore you all with picture after picture of the little man, I will just leave you with this last one (for now!) 
If you are feeling sad, depressed, frustrated, or overwhelmed this next picture is a guaranteed mood booster! You ready?
Here it comes....
