First Halloween!

Today is Ayden first Halloween and we could not have been more excited. This was a day we have been looking forward to, since i was pregnant we knew we wanted to dress him and have fun with him. Well we are so bless for this day because our little boy is a Pea in Pod and I really think he loves his customs. Growing in a different country Halloween was not part of my culture as a result i never got dressed for the occasion. I am so happy to do this for him and I do hope that he will continue wanting to do it. I will try my best to do everything for him that I never got to do as a child. I love my son sooooooooooo much.

I got his custom from Buybuybaby and it's to small for him. The box said 0-9months but there's also a checked box that said new born. At the register i was told it was not only for new born but they are wrong because it's kind a too short for him.

3 months

I remembered when I had 3 months left until birth, it was a very exciting time and could not wait to welcome my little boy into this world. I was doing a lot of preparation for the big day. Now fast forward today the month of October he is now 3 months and few weeks old. I can't believe how time flew by so fast, I remembered vividly when we brought Ayden home from the hospital; it was a hot summer day and all we kept thinking was how are we going to keep him cool with the blazing hot July temperature. I had so much worries about on how to become a mom, I did not read all the baby and motherhood manuals for tips and advice. My life was about to change forever, a little guy will call me mom and I will care for him and love him immensely. So much was going to my head but what i really learned from having him home was that I did not need books, magazines,pamphlets to care of him; it was all motherly instinct, everything was coming along as we go. No matter how hard you try to get ready for the big day to welcome your little one, it won't be the same once your little precious one is in your arms.

So baby Ayden is 3 months and he is so busy doing so much. For starters let me just say he is very talkative, he can go on for hours and he does not like to be ignored.
He had a checkup and thank GOD everything went well, his platelets is on the right track I am keeping my fingers crossed. He responds well to the vaccines.
He is about 14.5lbs and very very long, I can't spend a long period of time carrying him without taking a break, he is super solid!.
He is trying to sit on his own, also making several attempts of pulling himself up.
His laughs and giggles are very loud these days
The hand and eye coordination is so much better
He loves tummy time
He has different sounds for when he cries
He sucks on his fingers for soothing
He can now keep his legs up in the air
He is working on rolling over
He loves to look at himself in the mirror
He loves reading books
He drools more and more
He still loves taking baths
He is now wearing 6/9/12 months clothes in size and it looks like most of his PJs are getting too short. He is still on breast-milk with occasional formula, when he goes to babysitting he goes with breast-milk and the Enfantmil just in case.
On the weekend and at night it's strictly BREAST-MILK. He is a good sleeper, he can now fall asleep on his own and sleep most of the night ( AMEN).
Ayden is such a good baby and we are so lucky to have him in our lives.

Ayden we love you so much and thank you for being part of our lives

It's been so long!!!!!!!!

Happy Friday everyone!! It's been so crazy busy on my side of the block this week with work and going back and forth with Ayden to my mom's house for babysitting. By the grace of God baby Ayden is doing great, he had discovered his fingers and feet. His favorite attractions right now are his feet and sucking on his fingers, he knows the direction of his mouth; how excited!. Ayden does a lot more talking, kicking and is trying to pull his body up to sit. I can't believe it but he wears 9 months clothes in size and he will be out of the 3-6months size very soon. It's unbelievable are Ayden is out growing the clothes very fast. I got him some stuff from gap the other day and i am hoping he won't grow out of them soon. the way things are going Ayden may need his own closet. Im still nursing and he loves taking his bottle.
this week was somewhat a little chilly so we had to dress him with extra layers and coats to keep warm, even at night since we haven't gotten heat yet in the house. Days like that made miss the summer and spring but i am sure he will adapt to the cold weather very fast.
I hope everyone have a lovely and safe holiday weekend, it's a long weekend if you don't have to go work on Monday but since i have to work it's like any other weekend. Until then these great pictures of baby boy.
