Family Dinner

Last Sunday we were able to have our first family dinner. We were eating in our room since Aidan was nursing. While McCall was eating she spilled some of her food (we were having Jenn's chicken and rice) on Aidan. Since she could not stand up, McCall began to eat the spilled food off of Aidan. McCall claims she was merely cleaning up the mess, however I told her she needed to stop eating off our baby. She was laughing so hard she peed her pants! Yes I said it, the mother of my baby peed her pants. I wonder how McCall will top this at our next family dinner!!

A Whole New World....

This past week we had several storms that brought us quite a bit of wind and snow. Just on Tuesday we got almost a foot of snow! Yesterday, Bones went out in the backyard and discovered that all the wind and snow knocked down part of our fence, and based on the paw prints between our yard and the neighbor's, it seems that Molly has been making herself quite at home in her new expanded backyard. Bones went over and talked to the neighbors and they said they saw Molly at their back door the other day and that's when they realized the fence was down. Luckily they have a dog as well, so they don't mind the extra visitor until this weekend when Bones can put the fence back up. I got some pictures of Molly enjoying her extra freedom today...

Grandpa Campbell came to visit

Today Grandpa came to visit little Aidan. As you can see they were both exhausted by the visit. Grandpa would not give Aidan up, he held him the whole time he was here (Great Grandma and Grandpa could not even pry him away).

Poor Little Aidan

5 days after Aidan was born, Baxter jumped into his crib. Lynette (Grandma Campbell) grabbed Aidan and McCall grabbed Baxter. While being pulled away Baxter bit Aidan's tiny little face. We rushed him to the hospital where he got 3 stitches. We were told by the doctor not to cover the wound, but to clean it with a mixture of Hydrogen Peroxide and water then put Neosporin on it multiple times a day (we cleaned it every time he ate). It was so sad to have this happen to him, but we knew it would heal and he would be fine.
While at the hospital Animal Control came and filled out a report because of the dog bite. When we left the hospital the Animal Control Officer followed us home to take Baxter and have him quarantined for 10 days after which he would be put down. We loved Baxter but we love Aidan more.

It has been three weeks since Aidan was bit and as you can see his little face is healing nicely. There is still one spot that is swollen, McCall called the doctor and he told us about an amazing product to use to help reduce the swelling: Preparation H.

This is how Aidan likes to be held when he is being fussy. I looks so uncomfortable but he likes it. It reminds us of Homer strangling Bart.
