So, we haven't posted in a month plus. Sorry!

Coleman is 6 weeks old and Aidan turned three last Tuesday! We went to see and ride Thomas the Train (a real train!)in Stillwater Friday, Aidan had a very good time, Cole thought it boring and slept through.

Coleman has started to lift and turn his head while on his belly. He has been a very good sleeper; sleeping from 11-4ish for the whole time he has been home. Occasionaly, he wakes up at 2 to nurse, but since he is co-sleeping, it is easy on us all! This week he started to go down at about 8 and is waking to nurse when I go to bed at 11, then 4, seven or so, then sleeps until about 10. The sleeping has been a blessing, making everything a bit nicer (including me) the second time around.

Aidan is a fiery fellow with a heart of gold. He means well and is very dear, but also quite intense. He had his three year appt today. He is ahead of the curve in numbers, drawing (6 year level), and has 20/20 vision. He impressed our pediatrician with his good manners. He weighs in at 35 and a half pounds and is 39 inches tall!

Thank you for all the messages from all around!
