One week flies by!!!

Aiden is now 8 days old (I meant to send this yesterday, but Aiden was being too cute and I got distracted--he's now sleeping so can share some of his first week moments with you) . Our first week home has gone by fast, and has been a lot of fun. Aiden seems to have himself on somewhat of a routine, he usually wakes two times at night to eat, and then sleeps between 3-4 hour blocks. I know he's only a little over a week so he may not be in this routine forever, but we are sure appreciating it compared to the hourly wakenings he had the first 2 days at home:) He had his first Dr's appointment on Tuesday and has gained back the weight he lost in the hospital so is back to 6 lbs 5 oz. He did so well at the appointment, only crying at the end because he was cold (he had to be naked for the exam), and hungry (fortunately we were close to my office where I could nurse him in private). Below are a few pictures of his first week.

On Friday, Aiden was visited by Nana and Granddad Banker along with Aunt Cammie, and Aunt Cammie's friend's child, Evan--who was the most well behaved 18 month old boy I've ever seen. Aiden enjoyed play time with all of them and enjoyed resting up for next round!

Aiden is wearing premie clothes this day, he is kind of between sizes, the newborn stuff he swims in and the premie stuff is a little to short. Hopefully in the next few weeks he'll be able to fit into some of his clothes more comfortably.

On Sunday, Aiden gets his first bath at home, and as you can see Daddy's sleepy eyes this was when Aiden woke every hour at night. Aiden did not like his first bath too much because he got so cold, however his second bath went a little bit better this morning(sorry I forgot to take a picture), we decided to give him his bath in the bathroom instead of kitchen because its a little warmer in the bathroom, and he seemed to appreciate it! Aiden tries out his swing so mommy and daddy can enjoy meal times together. Aiden and Daddy pose sporting their K-State attire. Daddy bought Aiden a powercat stocking hat Saturday when we went on our first family outing, which went great--even the public bathroom diaper changing went well, he did not fuss at all. Hopefully on our next shopping trip, I'll pick up a KU hat for him:)

Monday, Aiden enjoys snuggle time with Daddy (okay he really enjoys this everday, but only captured the moment on camera on Monday:).

On Tuesday evening, Aiden meets his Uncle Brian and Cousin Eian. And gets a bottle from Grandma Eckstein, Aiden was having trouble keeping up with my milk production so I've had to pump a few times, allowing others the opportunity to feed him. However lately Aiden seems to be keeping up with me, as he appears to be eating more. Yesterday, Aiden enjoys time on his tummy, he seems to really like looking into the small mirror that came with his Wiggle Worm toy. We also took our first walk, the Dr gave us the goahead at our appointment saying it was fine to do short 15-20 minute strolls as long as he was not in direct sunlight. Our walk went great, we walked to Sonic and got daddy a special drink for working so hard on the basement.

All in all Aiden's first week has been nothing short of amazing, and if the first day of his second week is any indication we are only up for more amazing moments; about an hour ago he rolled from his back to his tummy all by himself!!!
