Aidan at 3 months - by Daddy

(2011-06-28 12:01:44) 下一個


Aidan is rapidly growing each day. Carrie and I have had 3 months so far as parents and are still trying to learn how to do it. As usual, Carrie is far ahead of me – learning all his quirks and noises and moods. I am still trying to adjust my leisure time to the little fellow. He needs to be regularly fed, burped, played with, bathed and of course loved. He also needs his diaper changed often. Carrie’s parents manage to do much of it – without complaint.

What we have learned about Aidan:

1.       he does not like to have cloth up against his face. If it is too close, he merely rubs his face against making himself increasingly uncomfortable.

2.       He is eager to start walking. We have started to have him – with a little assistance – gradually sit up. He is now doing this proactively and with nearly no assistance. He then attempts to stand up but he is as yet unable to.

3.       He is stubborn. He likes to be walked around to go to sleep. If you sit and hold him he cries until the person stands up. However, Aidan is gradually learning to sleep without such assistance.

4.       He is short tempered. If he is even slightly uncomfortable, we will immediately know it. J

5.       He likes people to talk to him. If you talk to him – especially in Aidan gibberish – he talks a little gibberish back and if lucky will smile. I like to rub his tummy while I talk to him which he seems to take to.

6.       He does not like to be left by himself. One time Aidan was left alone in our room as we all sat down to a meal. I came upstairs and found the little one crying – poor fellow.

7.       He enjoys playing in the morning. The first thing he wants to do when he wakes up in the morning is to play. We either can talk to him or leave him in his crib and let him see the little crib toy going back and forth around him. He gets very excited – his little legs and arms moving so quickly

8.       He no longer likes to be swaddled. At first, he enjoyed his arms being constrained as it approximated the sensation of the womb. But for at least the past month, he usually does not like it when he is awake. He prefers to have his arms out. In fact, he is so agile that he can contort his body so that he can get at least one arm out of the swaddle no matter how tight. We sometimes find his arm extended over his head but pushed up against his face because the swaddle is still so tight.

9.       He likes to be read to.
