Aidan rolling over

To our surprise Aidan first rolled over when he was at the doctors office at 13days old. What a flook! He has since then rolled over two more times, until today. He rolled over 3 more times before we caught the rest on tape:) What a strong boy we have!

Aidan's 1 Month Old

I know I say this often but, time really has flown by. I can't believe 1 month ago Aidan made his grand entrance into this world. He is such a sweet, beautiful baby. I love staring at him and watching his serious face. He has spiced it up lately with a cute little smirk and an occasional belly laugh. Not sure if it's gas or if he's learning to smile on his own. So far in his month of life he has rolled over 3x's (flook or not), he lifts and turns his head while on his belly, he's learning to follow objects and he cues:) He really is a gift from God. We truly are blessed!

4 weeks old today

Aidan turns 4 weeks old today. It's so sad. Time seems to be flying by and my little boy is getting bigger by the day...really! I brought him to the doctor yesterday and he has gained 2lb10oz in 4 weeks totalling 10lb 6oz and 21inches long. They told me to feed him when he cries but I'm afraid he may turn into "Sumo Baby." He does seem to cry alot more since he turned 3 weeks old. We are afraid he is colicky but still hoping it's just from his major growth spurt:)

The plan is to take pics of both boys today and find time to post them....wish me luck:)

Long time no blog

I know it's been a long time since I last blogged. What can I say other than I've been BUSY?!?
As you all know I had Aidan! He is adorable:) I really thought having two boys so close together would be impossible but not so much. Well until this past week. Aidan has showed signs of being colicky. When he is sleeping he looks like an angel, he's so precious. When he wakes, he eats like a champ (hence the double chin). Other than that he crys and crys and crys. He appears to be in pain, possibly from gas, reflux, I'm not sure??? I bring him in today to have the doctor check him out. Please pray nothings wrong with him and there is an easy fix:)
Ethan, well he is a hot mess. He acts out alot more and crys over nearly nothing some days. I believe out of boredom. There is only so much you can do with a 20 month old in the house everyday. He is lucky he is soooo stinking adorable and has a laugh that drives me wild. He is showing more and more signs that he loves his baby brother. An shows an occasional attempt to kiss him and he loves to touch his hands and feet...gently.
I LOVE being a Mommy x's two! Now I've got to go pray for more patience and play with my two boys. LOL Don't expect another update too soon but I promise sooner than before!

Welcome to the World, Aidan Cole!

I know most of you have been checking the blog waiting for an update. Unfortunately, my computer is not working up to par and I'm unable to update at this time. As soon as I can get to Best Buy I will. Hopefully they do not keep it too long. My GREAT friend Melissa has agreed to post this and a pic of baby Aidan. Please visit http://www.babysites.com/sites/vest2/ for updates and pictures.

Aidan Cole Vest was born Tuesday, July 28th at 9:30 am via c-section, weighing 7 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. He is absolutely beautiful, not to mention a wonderful baby. He went for his 2 week appointment and had gained an entire pound in one week! He loves to eat:) He also surprised myself and the doctor by holding himself up on his forearms and rolling from his belly to his back! It may have been a fluke, but it was quite impressive:)

We are so blessed to have a gorgeous, healthy family. Thanks for the calls, texts, thoughts and prayers. Keep checking in.

xoxo,
The Vest Family
