Aaron at 6 weeks

Aaron is 6 weeks old!!

I can't believe that it has been 6 weeks already! Aaron is starting to smile (as shown in the picture) and is showing more and more personality each day. He continues to do very well with his feedings and is gaining weight like crazy. I LOVE his chubby arms and legs. Every once in a while he will sleep for about 5 to 6 hours a night, but not every night.

Alec has been an incredible big brother and enjoys "helping" me change Aaron's diaper by handing me wipes and soothing Aaron when he is crying by patting his head and saying, "It's OK Aaron Michael!" He even takes his favorite toys over to Aaron and puts them in his lap to "share" them with him. I really could not ever have imagined what a good big brother Alec would turn out to be. I can't wait till Aaron is old enough to play with Alec!

I am actually doing better than I thought with two kids. I really thought it would be harder than it is. It is amazing what a different perspective you have the second time around. Yes, it is still hard to get up in the middle of the night for numerous feedings, but this time I have the knowledge that before I know it this part of Aaron's life will end and he will be sleeping through the night. I am really cherishing each moment I have with this little guy since I know how fast the time goes.
