Hidden Valley Farms with the boys...

We had a wonderful visit to a local fruit farm a few weeks ago. We actually stumbled across them and will definitely go back. It is such a great place for the kids...pick your own fruit, petting area (pigs, chicks, goats, cows), play area. They have an assortment of fall festivals coming up, so we will be going back soon.

Brotherly Love...

Nothing better than seeing my 2 boys together; the realization of motherly love is so overwhelming! I honestly can't imagine my life without these two! Thank You, thank You, thank You for them!

He's walking....

He is finally walking!!! It only took 16 months! God bless him, he's a late bloomer...but, I honestly think God was blessing me with his delay of walking, because it allowed me to adjust with our Aidan, before having to chase our little man. Nevertheless, he's walking EVERYWHERE and into EVERYTHING; but, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Enter"train"ment Junction

We recently took the boys to a local train museum in Cincinnati. Joseph is quite obsessed with Thomas the Train nowadays and he absolutely LOVED the sights and sounds of the museum. Aidan, on the other hand, was quite content sleeping in the stroller...give him another year or so!

Aidan's 4 week checkup...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...I actually have a camera full of pictures of adventures we've been on over the past couple of weeks, that I will download. Be on the lookout for new postings this week!

Nevertheless, we had Aidan's 4 week appointment last Monday; he got his first immunization shot and his little cry was heartbreaking. He is doing great! Gaining weight like a champ and he is so strong with both head/neck and bearing weight on legs! Here are his most recent stats:

Height 24 inches
Weight 12.8 pounds
Head ...i never remember this one (b/c they don't write this down in his book)

He is above the 95th percentile in both weight and height! Another fun fact was when we compared Joseph at 4 weeks with Aidan at 4 weeks, Aidan is over a pound bigger and 1 inch longer! Dr. Wallace says they need to grow up fast to help the Bengals with their defensive line! I don't know about that...however, Brad would be thrilled I have a feeling!

Aidan's 2 week appointment

Aidan has his 2 week appointment last Friday (I know I'm a week late posting the info...life is crazy with 2) and he is doing great. He gained 1 pound in a week (from his 1 week appt. to his 2 week appt.); weighing in at 10 pounds 13 ounces...Dr. W says breastfeeding is obviously working with the little guy.

Height 23.5 (97th percentile)

Weight 10.13 pounda (90-95th percentile)

Head Circumference 75th percentile (can't remember the measurement)

His circumcision has healed wonderfully! He's an overall healthy baby. We truly feeled blessed!
