Visits from the family

We have had lots of visitors lately and Ayden is loving it. First his Gammy Ross came and stayed with us for a week and she made sure to spoil him and he figured out just how to work it. He said quite a few new words while she was here including stick, dog and hi. then unfortunitly for Ayden she had to got home. After Visitors leave we always have a few difficult days because Ayden goes thrue attention widthdrawl but then luckily we got a visit from Zeb's brother Zac and his Family. I must say that there visit was a great eye opener for me. It both calmed and created some concerns that I have been having about what the situation is going to be like with Ayden when the new baby comes. It was amazing to see the positive changes that whitney had made since her 5 month old little sister Avery has come. Whitney was so good with Ayden, she was great about sharing and would always bring him toys to play with, they had so much fun chasing eachother around. It was so nice to see how well they played together and it helped me to see that hopfully having a sibling will help him develope those same characteristics. The problem that I saw is that Ayden would scream and cry like he was going to die everytime that he saw me holding Avery. He is in this mommy stage now that unless I have 100% of my attention of him he thinks the world is going to end, and obviously this could create some major problems when the baby comes. We had a wonderful time with Zacs family and they have such beautiful little girls, they were both Angels while visiting and we look forward to seeing them again soon. Well Ayden has had a few more days of attention widthdrawel but luckily his cousins Christina, Jared and Analisa are going to be comming to visit in a few days and I am sure he is going to love that!

We are having a GIRL!




OK, ok so obviously it has been a while since my last post (as you can tell by all my moms pleeding comments)and yes I should have been doing better cause things have been buisy and lots has been happening. The main thing is that we are going to be welcoming a new baby girl into our home on October 10th, so far everything looks healthy and strong and we are excited about Ayden having a little sister. Although I must say that I am a little scared about not having my mom there once the baby comes, I am glad that she is were she is, but there is still that selfish side of me that wants my mommy there to take care of me. Gratfully my wonderful sister Arah has offered to take my moms place and I am sure that I am going to have lots of support from Zebs family also.
