Alrighty then.
So Aiden has now been on the Oatmeal Cereal instead of Rice Cereal for 3 days. He seems to be taking to it very well. No constipation so far. Rice Cereal we would have some hard painful bowel movements every couple of days regardless of how much prune juice we gave him. With the Oatmeal Cereal we have not given him any prune juice at all and he seems much more comfortable. His sleep has not been terrific, but it has been okay. No sleepless nights since we made the change. Saturday night was probably a downright GOOD night for him. Last night was okay, but mommy said she was up with him several times between 4am-7. I never heard him.

We have him sleeping in his bouncer so that he is upright a little bit and that seems to be helping his tummy out quite a bit. Last night we put the bouncer inside his crib (prior to that he had been set up right next to our bed) he did okay in the bouncer in the crib from 11:30-3:45. At some point between 4 – 7 mommy brought him out of the crib back to our room.
He does make some noises in his sleep… not fussy noises, just kind of little baby sleeping noises. I don’t know if momma is so keyed up to the sounds he makes that these noises woke her up, or if he was actually fussy. She wasn’t really sure if he was fussy or not, just that she was up several times.
I need to reiterate that Aiden is a very happy baby. It has been awhile since I talked about much other than the sleeping problems and the tummy problems and the skin irritants. But during the day, when he is awake, he is a very happy, active baby. We get lots of smiles and giggles. He thinks Daddy and mommy are the funniest things on the planet. I think if momma and I were getting decent amounts of sleep we would have no complaints at all.
We watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition every Sunday, and watching that program and others like it, just make us realize exactly how lucky we are that Aiden is as healthy as he is. There is so much more that could have gone wrong. So many families out there who have such stories of struggle and hardship, just keeping their little ones alive. In the meantime, Aiden is thriving and we complain about lack of sleep. Every night I thank God that Aiden is as healthy as he is. I also ask that he take away the skin irritation and let the Acid reflux fade out so that Aiden will sleep, but primarily I am thankful that we have a healthy happy little boy.
A couple of pictures I can share with you this evening… and I am going to try to link in a video from my mother’s picasaweb site that she took while here over the weekend. We took more pictures over the last couple of days, but I am not allowed to share because they are for the Christmas Card. I guess after Christmas I can share that one.
That’s gonna about do it for tonight. I’m working on a little fun entry for somewhere in the next few days. 10 rules to live by for new dads. Just a fun little list of things to expect. That should be fun!

Mimi here. Just wanted to add that Aiden is, indeed, a very happy and active baby. His little legs just go and go. Papaw thinks he will be a bicyclist. Do we have a Lance Armstrong in our midst? Despite his troubles, he is thriving and his giggles are music to grandparents' ears. We have been truly blessed with this wonderful little boy.
