I'm a bit bummed out.. Today was Aiden's last day with the E.I. program we had been working with. Because he needs speech and we are not in there service area we had to switch companies. We will now be working with the company that services Wakefield. We were lucky enough to keep the people we had because they live in the next town over and didn't mind coming to Wakefield on there way out in the morning or home in the afternoon. I know it's all in the best interest of Aiden, but it just stinks to lose two very special people. Nancy and Jean, you both gave Aiden so much. Thank you so much for all you have done, all you have taught him, and for as much as you have loved my little boy. He will have you both smiling at the end of all this, when he is talking up a storm, running all over, and telling me what he wants to do next.. haha
You both will be missed not only by Aiden but by me and Nancy i will miss our little talks. It was good to have an "outsider" to talk to. I do hope you both keep in touch.
On another note, Aiden's new word is "buttons" and today he said "up" for Nancy (on her last day how nice). He is doing so much better walking too. He will now walk from room to room with out holding onto anything. It's so great to see him so proud and excited about it too.
We are all currently battling colds. I have had one for almost 2 weeks and shared it first with Aiden and Morgan and now Riley. We are all doing better but still have them. Not too bad though considering Aiden is 19 and a half month and this is his very first cold. Hopefully it will be gone soon and it will be another 19 months before he gets another one.. :)

Nose Picking, Colds & Sniffles, 3 kids, and a sick Mommy..
That is a recipe for a much needed vacation I tell ya.. I've been battling this cold for a week and still have it. i now have my voice back and the"junk" inside is breaking up but I shared it with the kids. Aiden's got a runny nose and Morgan has a junky nose and a little cough with watery eyes. I feel so bad for them. The only one so far not effected (besides dad) is Riley.
As for Nose picking, it's Aiden's new thing. He has discovered he can stick his finger in his nose and does so often. He doesn't actually "pick" it, but just puts his finger there and sits there waiting for who knows what.. lol
He's getting better and better at walking now too. he will let go and walk across the kitchen and from the bath room to the living room with out falling.
He's drinking like a champ, most days 12 to 24 ounces all on his own. I've finally got him drinking milk again too because he was starting to prefer juice or water. Today he drank 8 oz of strawberry milk with no issue and now is drinking coffee milk. I figure that if I have to flavor it, it's not a big deal, as long as he drinks it. Besides he's not over weight, he's not even chubby anymore like he was when he was a baby so I'm not worried about it.
All in all he is a normal toddler to me. He even tried to say I Love You, which is a big deal considering he is behind on speech. i think he'll catch up soon though. He's come so far, my once tiny little boy.. Now look at him...

Aiden is 19 months old today, can you believe it!
It's been a crazy 10 days or so. Last week we had our appt with the pedi and he got his boosters and RSV shots which meant he got poked with 5 needles that day. :(
Then Wed of this week we had his scheduled MRI. He wasn't allowed to eat 5 hrs prior or drink anything 3 hours prior so I tried to set a schedule to get him fed and full at the very last minute I could fit in. Well we all know my schedules never seem to stay on track. He woke up early on his own (too early) 4am, and finally after 2 hrs of being awake and not getting him to go back to sleep I fed him at 6 (I was planning 7:30-8:00 since his MRI was scheduled at 1:15).
He didn't eat much, had some juice and finally fell back to sleep at 6:30 so i wan't going to wake the poor kid up at 7:30 to try and feed him again. He got up at 8:30 and I squeezed in an apple sauce (what a few minutes and i didn't want him to starve) He ate it right up and had some more juice. We got ready and Nonny (my mom was here to watch the girls) and we planned to leave about 10:30 since he had an appointment with the child shrink at 11:45 first (part of the MRI study they are doing along with his regular MRI)
Well Daddy was wiped out and exhausted cause the girls were up all night and as much as he wanted to be there he ended up staying home with the girls (assuming they would sleep since they were up all night) and he could get some rest too, so Nonny went with us.
We left the house at 10:15, got to Children's Hospital at 11:20 and checked in. We had our appointment with the "shrink" and that took about an hour and then we walked over to MRI to check in. We waited a little bit and then they came to tell us they are an hour behind cause one of the scans are broken so we could go get something to eat. (Not Aiden though, the poor kid)
Me and my mom went to the cafe with Aiden and grabbed a bit and I was so happy that he didn't fuss for food, he didn't really care which was good cause it would of broken my heart even more to not be able to feed him if he was really hungry. We went back to MRI and waited about 45 more minutes and they called us in. We weighed him, talked about this and that and prepped for the IV. (I was not looking forward to this since it's been a wile since he has had one and he use to be such a hard stick. i have a 2 stick minimum before I refuse to let them poke him.
They got it in on the 2nd stick which almost got pulled out cause he was fighting and the nurse holding him who I guess is really good at it, didn't anticipate him being so strong for such a little kid.
SO the IV is in, Aiden now thinks they are all evil I am sure and he is getting some love from Mommy and Nonny. Then about 15more mins and they come to put the meds in. Those took about 4 to 6 mins and he was out like a light.
Off he went to sleepy land and into the MRI for 2 hours. All went well til the end and the last set of films (a 7 min series) he woke up for so they had to redo them which meant they had to give him a little more sleep stuff. The got the films all done and we waited in recovery. he had to wake up, drink some juice and be awake for about 15 mins before going home. Well he didn't want to wake up and it took a while
Well after all that we finally got to leave the hospital at 7:15pm.. 9 hours people... Oh what a day, I am glad Chuck didn't go cause even if he wasn't tired he would of never lasted 9 hours there.
We should have the results in a week or so and I assume all is fine. They did it as a follow up because of the bleeds he had in his brain when he was born as 98% of preemies born that young do, and they did extra films for the study they are doing about kids who have the bleeds and how they progress through the years. We figured he had to haev the MRI anyways so why not let them take a few extra pictures if some place down the line it could help out another little kid.
On the EI side of things, Aiden was suppose to have his 1 year eval on Thursday at 8:15 in the morning. Well since we didn't know the MRI was going to mess up the entire day and his entire sleep schedule. (She was in and out of it all night til about 10:30pm and then awake til 4am) So EI showed up and we all talked but let AIden sleep and rescheduled to do it next week. In our talkes we talked about getting him a PT and speech. PT to help build mor trunk muscles which are tied into speech believe it or not and speech because, well he's delayed.
The problem with this is that Tri-City the company we go through doesn't service our town since we moved, and the only reason we still have them is because his 2 awesome EI workers that come every week live one town away and have no problem keeping us. However now that we need and want speech we can't get a speech person willing to travel to wakefield. It's not far from the service area but what can ya do. This means we have to switch to Criterion and get all new people and lose the people we have which kills me but I know we have to do it cause it's the best for Aiden to get him the services he needs.
Other then that he is doing fab with EI and learning new things all the time. He is now walking better then last week and I am sure in the next few weeks he'll be walking all on his own.
We've come so far, it's hard to believe he was my less then two pound baby that almost didn't make it and spent 5 months in the NICU before coming home. He's an amazing child, and wonderful son, and i love him more then life. (even when he is tearnign apart the living room and the computer desk as I try to type)
I will have more pics soon, I've taken tons just haven't put them on the computer yet.

Aiden & Riley
Go Pats!!!!
I think at this point the girls have had enough... They are looking at each other like Hey when is this over..
It's now a new year.. Can you believe it? How time flies by is just crazy...
Aiden had a wonderful Christmas and was SPOILED ROTTEN by my parents. (What is an 18 month old going to do with a drum set) Oh Lord!!!! So lets just say the closet is enjoying a few of the toys until we find a bigger place to move to (hopefully by summer).
He really wasn't into opening presents like I thought he'd be. He like to tear paper and make a mess so I thought it would be right up his ally, but nope.. Maybe next year.. Eh...
We still had a nice Christmas though. We spend it and have dinner with my family and then the following weekend we have a mini Christmas with Chuck's family. Both were nice days.
Aiden is walking a lot better. I wouldn't say he is officially "walking" yet because he still falls and still needs assistance by holding a hand a lot, but he did walk across my moms kitchen Friday night and Saturday morning all by himself. The funny thing is, he thinks it is hysterical. He cracks up laughing and then gets himself going that he laughs so hard he can hardly stand up. It's the funniest sight and ends up making me laugh so hard I cry. He is such a giggly kid, i love it.
As for EI, he is doing wonderful with drinking. We haven't used his g-tube in a few weeks to bolus him with fluids at all. He's done enough to keep himself hydrated all on his own. What a kid! He learns so fast sometimes. All you have to do is show him someting once or twice and he has it down packed. Like getting on and off his bouncing zebra (by fisher price) at first he didn't realize you had to hold yourself on. Then once I showed him, he did fab and learned to get off it with out falling on him bum with no trouble at all.
In doctor news, he now weighs 24 pounds and 12 ounces and is 31 inches. He is no longer my Chubby baby. He's still got some meat on him, but nothing like his baby chub he had and the boy can eat when he wants to. He's just a happy healthy boy, what more could you want..
He got his booster shots and RSV shots on Thurs. I felt so bad I almost broke down. The poor kid had to get 5 needles.. FIVE!!! all at once.. Oh my heart broke and HE CRIED!! but soon after he was ok. He did however stare at his nurses for a while when we were making our next appt as to say "back off ladies, i don't like you two anymore"
He also has an MRI this week on Wed. He was enrolled in the study for preemies who had brain bleeds when they were born. Most preemies do, but not all i the area he had them in. When they asked to enroll him, me and Chuck agreed figuring it's not going to hurt him and if it can help out someone else going through what we did then why not do it.
The only kicker is for the MRI they have to sedate him. It's always scary when a little one gets sedated for something, but we will be there right by his side and my mom is coming up to stay with the girls til we get back since we'll be at the hospital for about 4 hours or so.
Other then that there is really nothing new. He's just a "normal kid" doing "normal things" as far as I am concerned. Oh and we have a new word.. CAT!! After me saying it 1000 times a day he finally says it. I might have mentioned it before but I can't remember.
he doesn't say much still, but I know in time it will come. It is the one thing he is a bit behind on (talking) I think, but EI isn't worried about it so i guess I shouldn't either.
out words are (of course) DUDDA!, and then sometimes MUMMA (not as much as he use to say it), NUNNA, YA, HI, CAT, actually none of them he says a lot, besides Dudda, but we talk to him all the time and you can see him trying to copy you. I think once he does talk we are not going to be able to get him to shut up.. LOL

Always KISSING my sisters..
It's Christmas Eve already.. It's 2:14 AM and I just finally got AIden to bed after 2 hours of crying and screaming. I got fed up and rocked him to sleep with a little bit of a fight but not much cause he was so over tired and worn out from crying. I thought we were getting a handle on this (just this past week) cause he started going down between 9:30 and 11 pm which is FINE with me!
No such luck, once again the last few nights he's been up late and that is with no late nap. He usually naps about 4 hours after he gets up in the morning for 30 mins to 2 hrs, depending on how tired he is and how early he got up, and how late he was up the night before. Now he still does that but hasn't been taking a late nap which means from 1 or 2 pm he is up and active until 2am. I don't get it. By this time I am exhausted I don't know how the kid does it or what he runs on but give me some.. REALLY!!!! LOL
Every one keeps telling me to let him cry, but when your stuck in a one bedroom apt (til summer only we hope) and you also have 2 three month olds, it's hard to let him scream it out. Like I said it went on for two hours tonight and one of the twins slept through it (Riley) the other (Morgan) was awake and not happy either so it was not fun. In the mean time Chuck was trying to sleep to so he could get up early and let me sleep since one of us is always up at night cause the girls still don't sleep through the night.
Added to the fact I have been trying to make my homemade truffles for xmas which consist of hand dipping each one in chocolate. This is not fun with 2 crying kids and at one point all 3 were up in arms. UGGHHH!!!!
So anyways.. My christmas shopping is done which is good considering I wasn't sure we'd be able to really do christmas presents this year. With me still out of work on leave (with no pay) we only have the one income so it's tough at times. Christmas is a big deal to me and I LOVE to buy gifts for everyone, but this year I sucked it up knowing that it wasn't going to happen. Then I came into a little bit of money that I didn't expect so it gave me a little cash to get a few gifts for the kids and Chuck and my parents. YAY!! Now if I could just finish these truffles it would be nice. With two down and one still awake I'm still not able to get much done since Morgan doesn't want to sleep and is a bit fussy. Let's just say her scream cuts right through you.. Eeekkkk..
As for my littel Aiden, he is doing wonderful. He is drinking SO much better and I am positive we will have that G-tube out come spring. We hardly ever use it to bolus him now.
The other news is.... He took 5 steps.. FIVE !! They were tiny little steps but he still took 5! It was awesome and the most he has taken. He'll stand on his own but usually won't take a step, he'll whine or sit and crawl cause he's scared. He walks well holding just one finger most of the time too and if he can just muster up the guts to take off on his own I think he will be off and running. I can't wait!! People keep telling me I don't want him to start walking with 2 little ones but trust me I do. To be able to put him down and just have him stand for a second would be so helpful just getting out of the car for example. It's tough loading up the car (alone) with two in infant car seats and one in a big boy seat. Just thinking about it makes me tired (not to mention these darn snow banks that make it such a hassle now but that is another story.)

Aiden took two steps today all on his own. He is getting better and better AND he stood up with out holding onto anything for 56 seconds, then started "dancing" which is more like bouncing in place lol. He was just amazing and made me smile.
We had a pedi appt last week and he weighed in at 25 pounds 4 ounces. He's gotten so much better with his juice box cup and now we are just working on quantity.
Today we had his neurology follow up appt. He is also enrolled in there study. We figured if it can help someone else out why not. The appt was quick. They asked questions like what is he doing now and is he walking and talking, then did a few eye following exercises and reflex checks and then we were out of there. We have to go back and have an MRI done for the study and Aiden has to see they "shrink" for the study too. That part kills me (in laughter) cause as I said to the doc what does a psychologist do to interview and "shrink" a 17 month old.. He was a bit stumped there too and said really i have no idea. He's so young that I don't know what they see him for. So I guess i will find out when they schedule the appointment. I keep you all posted on that, i am still baffled by it.
We also went to the mall last week to see Santa. Aiden loved him. He sat on his lap with the girls and was just amazed by him. I was waiting for him to try and pull his beard off (it was real) but he never did (thank god).

Happy Late Turkey day!!
We spent the holiday with the in laws (Chuck's family) and it was a nice day. Then we went to my moms (me and the kids) on Friday as usual. (We usually try to visit twice a week. It gives me a break "sometimes" and also lets me see more then just the 4 walls of my own house which is always enjoyed)
Aiden had a doc appt today but it was canceled and rescheduled until tomorrow. he'll be going for his RSV shots. He hasn't been drinking too much the last 5 days or so since his teeth have cut through so hopefully he'll pick back up to drinking more like he was a week ago. This is an obstical that is growing to be such a pain. Not in the sense that we have to work with him, just in the sense that he doens't seem to be a kid who likes to drink a lot. He doesn't seem thirsty very often and with out him drinking at least 12 ounces of fluid on his own every day he can't have his g-tube out.
We are also now struggling even more with is sleeping pattern. he is more and more like his dad and wants to stay up all night..
Before the girls came home he'd go to bed about 10:30 and wake up about 8:30am. Now he is up until 1 to 2:30 am and doesn't wankt to get up til 11am. I'll wake him up at 9 anyways to try to kick him back into a schedule but it doesn't seem to be working. I've held back naps to try to gethim into bed early and it might work to get him to sleep by 9 or 10PM but then he's awake at 11 or midnight and wants to play. If we leave him in his crib he just cries and cries and cries.
I know we need to let him cry but it's easier said then done. He gets to the point that he is all red and sweaty, his nose is running and he is just unbearable. This will go on for over 2 hours if you let it.. Til the point that I can't take it anymore.. With two little little ones and a 17 month old crying to the point I think he might explode, one person can only take so much and that about breaks my limit.
I don't know what else to do.. My new plan is to (for one week) stick it out, crying and all and put him to bed at 10 (I know that is late for some parents but I can deal with 10, it works for me) and hopefully after a week he will "reprogram" and know bed time is at 10 and that is all there is to it.. Wish me luck and if any one has any advice let me know. You need to know that we are in a tiny apt so that makes it even harder when you only have one bedroom.
Boy I can't wait to buy a house.. Fingers crossed cause it's going to be a LONG week !!

With two little little ones and a 17 month old crying to the point I think he might explode, one person can only take so much and that about breaks my limit.
I don't know what else to do.. My new plan is to (for one week) stick it out, crying and all and put him to bed at 10 (I know that is late for some parents but I can deal with 10, it works for me) and hopefully after a week he will "reprogram" and know bed time is at 10 and that is all there is to it.. Wish me luck and if any one has any advice let me know. You need to know that we are in a tiny apt so that makes it even harder when you only have one bedroom.
Boy I can't wait to buy a house.. Fingers crossed cause it's going to be a LONG week !!

It's official we have two teeth.. YES TWO!!!! They broke through the gums and you can actually see them a bit (if you can get in there).. YAY!!!
Other then that life is the same. Aiden is learning everyday and growing up to be such a big boy. We are still working on drinking, walking, and all those other things kids do at 17 months (14 months corrected) He is an awesome kid.. Now if we could just get some words out of that mouth besides mumma, dudda, and nunna.. LOL all the rest sound like he is clearing out a hair ball in his throat. I think once he does start really talking, he's going to be a chatter box..
He is also becoming quite the big brother. He's been giving the girls kisses (when he isn't trying to find there teeth) lol

I've been tagged by Sarah & Jen which means I now have to post 7 random facts about myself.
1. It absolutly drives me crazy when someone leaves the shower curtain open.. IT MUST BE CLOSED!!
2. I am a very impatient person, i very much like instant gratitude. When it comes to my kids though, people tell me I have all the patients in the world.
3. I have a hard time asking for help! ( i am my mother's daughter) and will fall on my face before asking anyone to help me out, weather it is with the kids, money, or just life, i try to do EVERYTHING on my own!
4. I love Chocolate and have something chocolate everyday and think it can make almost anything better at least for a second.
5. I love to scrapbook (although I have no free time to do so) I love taking pictures and creating beautiful books to look back on.
6. As crazy as it sounds I want two more kids. It's hard, it's fustrating, and it's expensive, but I want a big family and don't ever want my children to feel alone.
7. My mom is my best friend and i could not live with out her, however I have not talked to my biological dad in 8 years. i often wonder though if he misses me, but I surely doubt it.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG I think we may have a tooth.. I feel ridges!! 17 months and 1 week old and we may have our first tooth (or even first two teeth) ! Give the boy a steak already.. HA HA
Although he has steak for the first time last week (ground up in a chopper) but it still looked like meat and wasn't puree cause that would just be nasty.. Ewww
However he LOVED it. He ate a good amount and half of a baked potato with sour cream. He's such a good eater and becoming such a "big boy"
We had out appt with GI last wed. Got what a joke! I know they can't remember all there patients, they must see hundreds, but read the damn charts before you come in and say something stupid.
That's all I'm saying about that. We go back in 6 months unless Aiden gets the drinking thing down before then. if so we can make an appt and talk about removing the G-tube.
He's doing better with the drinking and drank 3 ounces in one sitting for me yesterday. How happy was I... It's one of those things that are going to take time but once he "gets it" he's going to do fine with it. Right now he is starting to "get it" another few months and we should have it down I think.
Not much new news other then that.. We did go for out first picture session. Aiden and the girls.. It's didn't go too well, although we got a few good pictures.. Maybe next time..
I also posted some under the girls page..

Can you believe Aiden is 17 months old today and as of Nov 6th he has been home from the NICU for 1 year!!. It's seems like it's been so much longer..
He is doing wonderful with learning new things and learning to drink from him juice box cup. We have an appt with GI on wed that I made for a check up and to talk about his G-tube sight. It's looks a little "funny" to me and I want it checked out before i start to really worry about it.
He has learned how to open and close every cabinet and door in the house. how to turn the lights on and off, how to empty the diaper cabinet and to make super messes.. He is coming along just fine. We are now working on putting things into a bucket and then taking them out (this he has down with no problem except his "putting into the bucket" is more like winging them with full force into the bucket) We've worked on turning pages to the book, and being nice to your sister. (Which consists of stop pulling there hair and trying to grab there face) He is determined to stick his finger in there mouth and look for teeth like he does to every adult that picks him up) LOL
It's so nice to see him learning new things and tweaking the things he has already learned. Both is E.I worker and OT say that you would never know he was a preemie. He has come so far, learned so much and is really smart.
As for the teeth, well, still NONE!! Not a single one.. ha ha
They are there and they are coming and I think MAYBE by turkey day he might finally break through the two bottom but we will see.
And walking.. Still No, so close but not yet. He crawls up a storm, forward and backward, and will cruise from object to object. He'll try and climb anything he can but still doesn't seem to have that balance quite yet to stabilize taking more then a step with out falling down. He'll get there and when he does, OMG watch out world. This kid is going to be all over the place.
As I look back at pictures from last year at this time I wonder where the time went and realize that my little boy is no longer my "little" boy. He's growing up...

It was a fun night and great weather.. i am happy to say that Aiden kept his hat on (which is NOT like him since he hates, I mean HATES hats on his head.. We trucked along in the wagon and had a great time.. The girls slept through most of it all cozy in there chicken costumes, and Aiden and his friend Makayla had a great time.
Aiden was a scarecrow, Makayla a duck, and the girls chickens.. It was a site to see.. lol
Aiden's all ready...
Morgan's all ready...

Bumps and Bruises and lots of tears... I am not sure if those tears are mine or Aiden's or both, but we sure are at the age of falling down, pulling things over and getting hurt. I know it's how kids learn but no one wants to see there little one get hurt. And when you have a stubborn kid (like mine) who doesn't learn after the first or second time it makes it harder I think.
He's so smart and amazes me when he figures something out, like how to get off the futon "safely", or how to open and close the cabinet (after he empties all the diapers in it).
Yesterday he learned he has enough strength to pull over the entire rack of TV trays. There solid wood and heavy and YUP he pulled him over on top of himself. Then not an hour later he did it again. Now there tied up so he can't pull the entire thing over and so far he has left it alone. Then today he decided to slid off the futon but instead of turning around and going feet first he went head first and "knock" on the floor he went.. Tears and all, he was not a happy camper!
I swear people are going to think I beat him up with all the bumps he gets. Most of the time it's just a little bum here or there and in minutes it goes away, but in the last few days he has gotten a few good ones that I though were going to leave marks, but so far he only has one little scratch and a mark near his eye (from yesterday)
I am sure all parents go through this stage and just to think I get to go through it again with the twins, hopefully they will be a little less of a clutzy mess as my little Mr. Destructo!
It is good to see him do things that "all other kids do" and i am very lucky. I have three wonderful happy kids. For all he's been through (I can't say it enough) he amazes me and keeps me smiling. He is just a wonderful kid!!

We got shots today.. Aiden went in for his RSV shot and he was NOT happy!!
Our morning starting out with a very tired boy. He refused to sleep last night and once again was up late. This time later then he has ever been awake.. 3AM !! UGH!!
He then had to get up at 8:30 for E. I. this morning with his OT (for drinking). So Mommy made him some pancakes and got everything ready and Jean the OT fed him and worked with him and his cup. He didn't eat as much as he normally would but did very good drinking (hand over hand).
We stopped early and had a little play time cause he was so tired.
I figured after she left he'd want to sleep but he stayed awake which was fine with me, i want to get him back on track. We had a doc appt at 2 and he was in a really good mood when we got in the car. We arrived to see the doc and he was smiles and playing until the shot came. He was still on the table as they "cleaned the site" with there little alcohol pad, and then at the same time each nurse gave him a shot in the leg. This way it's all at once and he doesn't get poked one after another. He flinched and then cried and cried. I felt so bad as I picked him up and gave him a big hug. He calmed down after about a bit and was fine.
I had the doc come in and check him too. i wanted his ears checked cause occasionally he'll pull at his left ear, but they were perfect. He also woke up with two little spots on his leg today. My first thought was OMG my kid has ring worm, cause it's kinda what it looks like, but then I though, he hasn't been around any pets but ours and none of ours have it. Better safe then sorry i had the doc check that too. Well he said it looks fine, and that there is a "funky" virus going around that is causing kids to get spots like this. It's nothing to worry about and if he gets more then two just to give him some benadryl.
All in all it was a good check up I'd say. We are almost 17 months old, weighing in at 24 lbs 12 oz and we are just about 31 inches. So far not a single ear infection, no RSV, no colds, unless you count the 24 hrs we had the sniffles, but I think we have done really well.
Now it's just getting the sleep schedule back on track, learning to drink more from the cup or the bottle, and learning to walk... Then the big one.. Getting the G-tube out...
Oh can we add getting a few teeth in there too.. ha ha, although his gums are puffy and I really really think they are going to pop through very soon. Maybe in the next few weeks.. Maybe this has something to do with him not sleeping well either.. Grrrr them darn teeth..
.. And Aiden has discovered where we keep the diapers.. he thought he was funny (and he was) but we won't let on.. ha ha

Bottles, Cups, Straws... We have tried it all..
For a year we have tried different things and all it took was bringing home some babies. ha ha
As funny as it sounds I just had a feeling from him seeing his sisters take a bottle that maybe, just maybe, he would try it.
So I put some chocolate silk in a bottle (that is what mommy drinks and he likes it too) and handed it to Chuck. After the look I got I said to him, just give it to him I want to see what he does.
Can you believe he took an ounce and a half.
Now I know to any new people reading this, that is not a lot, but if you've been around with us for a while then you know for Aiden it's fantastic. He has been really good with it since. He won't really hold the bottle on his own very well but if you hold it with him he'll drink from it. So far, chocolate soy milk, regular whole milk, and water. He has also done really well with the juice box type cup we were training him with. he know can suck up the straw.
Let's just say with all this, when his OT showed up on Thursday morning last week she was siked. She said we made her month. THAT'S MY BOY!!!! Making people happy..
So now if we can get him to take the cup with a straw or a bottle (either one) on a regular basis then BYE BYE G-TUBE!!!! Now that is music to the ears...
As for him adjusting to the girls, well it took a bit. A few days went by and he was use to Morgan being here, then we added Riley to the mix. I'm sure he must of been thinking "what the hell" "are they going to get one of these things every week??"
But so far so good. No super major break downs. i will say he has been a little more clingy and his sleep schedule is all messed up (not due to the girls making noise, it's just he now decides he doesn't want to go to sleep) but I am hoping we get him back on track. He was already a kid who went down late (usually by 10:30pm) but the last 5 days he has been nuts and you have to fight with him to get him to pass out by 1am, sometimes 2.. Grrrrrrrr
As you can imagine this is not adding to us getting any sleep and with Daddy going back to work on Monday (cringe) it's going to be a rough week alone with 3 little ones.. I'm sure I'll have a few breakdowns.
Speaking of which, Aiden is in his swing (yes at 16 months he still loves the thing) and is over tired, talking to himself and every so often yelling out a fake cry like I'm beating him. That is what he does when he is super tired.. So I am going to attempt to get him into bed before 10:30 which gives me a little over an hour and we will see how it goes..
I got one... haaa haaaa

Can we say a bit jealous! I was surprised but YES he was a bit on the jealous side. We got home from the NICU (we all went together to pick up Morgan) and Aiden fell asleep in the car. We came in the house put him down for his nap and all was ok. When he woke up, Morgan was already awake ad i was about to feed her. I put her in her crib to get Aiden and she started to squack the cry a tiny little cry. As soon as Aiden heard her she layed on the bed like I tossed him away and just cried. Full tears and all. I felt so bad, my little boy all of a sudden didn't want to share his mommy. We've now had two overnights and we will see how he is this morning, but yesterday he was much better. I can only imagine in a few days how things will be when Riley comes home too. The poor little guy is going to think these tiny little squeeky things are multiplying. Awww
Don't worry little man, you will always be Momma's little boy and I love you sooooo SOOO MUCH!

Aiden did very well agin today with E.I. and drinking. I think he is getting his bottom two teeth soon so that may be why he was cranky yesterday too. His cheeks have been red on and off and the kid is chewing on EVERYTHING. Well he puts everything in his mouth any way, but the last few days he is chewing really hard on things.
We have some adjusting to do now too since his sisters will be home by the end of the week end. Morgan tomorrow and Riley by Sunday. I thin he'll be just fine though.
I posted some pics there not new but ones I liked and forgot to post previously. Check out Aiden in his new wagon. We copied our blog friend mommy who has triplets and has the wagon.(The Guinn's) I always loved it and once I found out I was having twins I searched the internet looking for it. I lucked out and got the wagon and a trailer before they stopped making the trailer. Then lucked out cause they got them in stock again and I ordered another trailer (for friends or storage) just about 6 weeks ago. Now there not available any longer.
Anyways he loves it and the great thing is the infant car seats fit in them too, so halloween will be a blast. The other pics are random too, like I said just pics I liked. Enjoy

Aiden had his first OT session today for "drinking" and did fabulous with his new cup and exercises he will need to continue doing. He sat in his high chair, ate his breakfast, drank his milk, and it was like any other day. The key to this drinking thing since it is a new straw cup and he is working with a new person is to keep it fun. As long as it stays "fun" then he doesn't know it's work and will just become natural to him. His E.I. OT worker said he did really really well and that she anticipates that he will do fabulous with this. In 6 months we may be rid of the g-tube for good. We'll see, butt that would be nice.
He also got his flu shot the other day and two boosters so he has been a little cranky but all in all in a good mood. We just got the paper saying he qualifies for the RSV shots this year too which is great considering we have done well to stay away from colds and we will have two new little ones home from the NICU soon, maybe in the next two weeks.
He is now 24 1/2 pounds and 30 inches and growing. He's still crawling up a storm and cruising on everything and anything. It's also bumps and bruises age, cause I sware he is a clutz like his mom sometimes, but he is learning and to see that is just amazing. I try to picture 6 more months from now when the girls are home and he is even bigger. It blows my mind that he is growing so fast. Time really flies when you have kids! just as long as I don't turn around and I'm 53 and he's 21, THEN I think I'll lose it.. LOL
