One Month Old

Our little Alden is one month old. Can you believe it? It's crazy how quickly time flies when you aren't getting sleep and all you do it change diapers and make bottles. :) Just kidding.
Alden is such an amazing little boy. We have been struggling a little with sleep this past week. I think it is because he is hungry and the formula isn't filling him up enough to sleep more than a few hours at a time. He has been getting up every 2 to 2 1/2 hours this week. Which makes for a tired momma!
At the beginning of this week, we went to church. Alden got the hiccups half-way through the service, and when he gets hiccups he tends to spit up. So, we went and sat in the nursery for the rest of the service. It was nice. I was able to talk to the girls there and he got to see the nursery. After church, he went to Fiesta Guadalajara for the first time. This was the mexican restaurant that we told our families we were expecting. He slept through the whole meal. Then, he had his first trip to the grocery store. He just sat in his carrier and looked around the whole time.

He is still enjoying his baths. My dad, sister, brother, and niece were able to come over on Tuesday night. It was Alden's bath time so my niece helped me bathe him and my dad took pictures. It was fun to have them over and experience bath time with us.

On Wednesday, Lyndon woke up not feeling well. He had a horrible headache and his stomach was upset, so he stayed home from work. It is double duty with a newborn and a sick husband. I was making chicken noodle soup and changing diapers all day! I was exhausted. He also stayed home on Thursday because of it.

On Thursday, I had my 4 week check-up. Everything is looking great and the doctor said I am able to go back to teaching dance. Alden and Lyndon went with me and we got to show him off. On a happy note, I am weighing 136. I have lost 27 pounds since I delivered. I'm hoping to lose another 10 pounds and I will be happy.

We had an enjoyable week, even though we haven't gotten much sleep. I wouldn't change it for the world. Here are some more pictures of Alden from this past week.








Alden and me... I love this little boy!




I was able to capture a little smile today. He has been smiling here and there for the past few days, so I tried to get him to smile and get a picture. The camera was kind of slow, so this is what I got. :)




Until our next update, I hope everyone has a wonderful February!! :)

Lyndon, Stacy, and Alden
