Life

Ok I haven't written in a few days but thats because everything is so crazy. On sunday I had to go to Universal studios to be a mystery shopper. This was a project for the class I am in right now, I was supposed to evaluate the park from a business perspective. I thought this was going to be fun because I got to go to Universal for free and bring a friend of my choice; however, it wasn't as fun as anticipated. There was a LOT of work involved. I got sunburned and my feet had many blisters by the time I was done, but it wasn't too bad.Leah and I on the way to the park!
Ok now other than that I am trying to finish up school only 4 more weeks left!!! And aiden has chosen this time to go through a "growth spurt" thats what the doctor called it anyways....He is going through a stage where he DOES NOT want to be put down. He is perfectly content and happy baby until I put him down and then you would think I had abandoned him somewhere really horrible. It is really starting to drive me crazy! It is a battle to put him down, I have to do the whole lay next to him and wait for him to fall asleep and then try to sneak away thing if I am trying to get him to sleep and putting him down when he is awake is just pretty much not going to happen. I have tried the 10 minutes of letting him cry thing and he can flat do it, he will keep right on screaming, 10 minutes does not phase this child. Now here's the part that I dont understand... it seems to be a particular problem towards me, he is MUCH better with ben. I was gone all day when I went to Universal and Ben said he barely fussed, he sat in his swing, he did great. I don't understand why ben has more success putting him down than I do. When I put him down he just looks at me like "are you crazy or something? You're supposed to be holding me". So I have come up with two theories 1) he hates me and wishes to punish me more than Ben 2) He has a greater attachment to me or maybe 3) ben is better at putting him down than me.....I am not sure. I just know its starting to drive me crazy!!! Here is a picture to illustrate what I am talking about....this was last night, or maybe the night before, all my days run together....anyways You can tell I had been laying next to him on our bed and it looks like we have been through a battle, his pants are unsnapped because I kept checking to see if his diaper was dirty, his tummy is hanging out and he is clutching my shirt for dear life. I am SOOO ready for my parents to come so I have more hands to help hold him. Remember when I was tired of visitors??? HAHA just give us a few weeks alone and I am ready to BRING BACK THE VISITORS!!!! My parents are coming saturday and I am really ready and excited!

Hmmm I'm trying to think but I think thats all I have to share right now....I have added a vote to the blog (remember when we used to vote on what you thought the baby would be or baby names, awww good times!) anyways...I put a vote to vote who you think aiden looks most like. Grandparents, parents, and our siblings are the only ones available to vote for so if you think someone else you can just put it in a comment. I decided to do this because ben and I are always looking at him and depending on the face he is making we think he looks like someone else...sometimes me, sometimes ben, sometimes jarod, the list goes on....

I always get told when I am out with him that he looks "just like me" but I think this is one of those things people just say when they see a baby kind of like "your baby is so sweet" yeah how do you know???? or when people say "you are looking great" and then they go and whisper about how much weight you have gained. Yeah I could write a book just about people saying things they don't mean, but anyways...the point is to vote for who you think Aiden looks like. I was going to put an option for " a mix of Ben and Jen" but then I think everyone would vote for that one and thats no fun.

Oh yeah and speaking of looking great, have you all seen pics of halle berry? She had her baby the same day I had Aiden and she looks phenomenal! I hate her.
