2 Months Old
Andrew is now 2 months old weighing over 12lbs and 24 1/4" long. He's been such an easy baby so far. Sleeping 6-8 hours at a time at night and sleeping in till around 8am. Aiden on the other hand has been waking up almost every night and trying to come into our bed.

Christmas!

Here's the latest pics. Andrew sleeping and Aiden pondering which ornament he's going to break next. He thinks the bulbs are balls and will throw them. He also climbed around the back of the tree to get a fireman ornament which he took the axe off and started chopping things with it.

My beloved new Nikon camera has stopped working. =( So until it's fixed, I will have to put boring little video clips. So, enjoy.

Aiden's New Helmet

Here's what we see all day long. Aiden in his new helmet and a wire wisk (it's the closest thing he can find to a bat). He will hit a ball, drop the bat and run like a mad man (with or without pants) around our island.

Millbrae Fire Christmas Party

Thanks to Joe, this year was the first time that Millbrae Fire had a Christmas party. They decorated the station and 25 Firefighters and their families came for the occasion. We had a bounce house for the 27 children and even a special visit from Santa whom Aiden wanted no part of, but he did bring him a batters helmet which he hasn't taken off yet. He woke up and walked into our bedroom this morning with it on. I couldn't get Aiden out of the old engine they have there, not even to eat. So all my pictures are of him in the truck.

Just cause I thought it was cute.

Thanksgiving Chaos

This year for Thanksgiving we had 7 children 2 and under in Joe's family. We watched the boys chase each other all night and the moms trying to figure our whose pacifier is whose. It was a lot of fun, but tiring.

Christmas Pics

Andrew will be 1 month old tomorrow and has been such a blessing. He goes with the flow which is usually choas and sleeps wonderfully and can fall asleep without a pacifier. Amazing! Aiden on the other hand has turned into a 2yr old even though he is only 22months. He's waking up in the night now and crawling into bed with us. Something he's never done before. We had pictures taken this morning for Christmas and somehow we had a couple that turned out. Aiden was not cooperating but when we left him alone to do his own thing, we got a couple good ones.

Miles of Smiles

Andrew loves being talked to and he'll make little noises to let you know he appreciates the attention. The last couple days he's been smiling when you talk to him and it's so sweet. Aiden is liking the big brother role and this week I caught him holding Andrew's hand in the car. Andrew's been good to us so far and on Thursday night, he slept for 7 hours. Joe said he got up to make sure he was still breathing, but I slept right through. That's the longest I've slept in a long time.

Andrew is adjusting to being home and is gaining some of his weight back. He went from 7lbs, 6oz to 6lbs 12oz and is back up to 6lbs 14oz. He hasn't woke crying in the night yet. I've had to wake him every time to eat, so I'm hoping this continues.

Aiden got to go trick or treating with dad last night for the first time. He loved wearing his Tigger outfit and enjoyed getting the candy. I snuck him a 3 Muskateers bar when Joe wasn't looking. =).

AndrewAidenHere's a picture I took of Aiden and had to take a similar one of Andrew. I was amazed because they actually do look alike except for that nose. I hadn't thought that yet. Joe and I think Andrew could be a "Who" like from the movie "The Grinch." He has an elfy look right now. Only I can say that though because I'm mom.=)

Welcome Andrew Oliver

Andrew was born on Monday at 11:48am. He was 7lbs, 6oz and 20 1/2" long. Even though he was a c-section, they still had to vacuum him out just like Aiden because they said I had a lot of scar tissue in there and his head was caught underneath it. We came home on Wednesday after a candlelight lunch that Kaiser made us. I had a much better experience this time as all the nurses were very nice and left us alone during the night unlike last time.

Aiden seems to be adjusting well. I didn't even hear him come into our room this morning until I heard him talking over the bassinet to the baby. Here are some pictures. Lots more to come.

No baby yet.
I've been trying everything. Prayer, long walks, primrose oil, red raspberry tea, you name it. He doesn't want to come. I have another non-stress test tomorrow because the Dr.'s are concerned he and I haven't gotten any bigger since 36wks. The last test on Friday showed everything looks good, he's just small. We'll keep you updated. A c-section is scheduled for next Monday the 27th if he won't come on his own before then.

Shower Weekend
After insisting that I didn't need a shower this time around, I got away with only two. One today with our softball team and one yesterday with family and close freinds. I wish I could say they were laid back but the ladies went all out and each party was beautiful and fun with great food.

Pumpkin Patch

We visited the Pumpkin Patch on Thursday. You had to be 36" to ride the rides and Aiden only hit the 35" mark. He didn't mind because all he wanted to do was play in the cars that were just his size.

Aiden's New Cousin

Haylee Jaimes Tigri was born yesterday! I got to go see her and she looks just like Tyler did except with dark hair. Aiden couldn't go in because Kaiser is strict about no one under 12 coming in unless they're immediate family, but he'll get his own soon enough. He had fun playing with Tyler downstairs with dad.
