Growing Fast?

When we packed for the hospital, we weren't planning on staying longer than a few days. Since we stayed so long, we ran out of clothes for Jayden and only had this outfit left until Jamie could run home and get some more clothes.

We laughed when we put this on him because it was HUGE!

But...3 weeks later...it fits him perfectly!

(The tag says 3 months)

We can't believe how fast he's growing!

Random Pictures...

This one's a little blurry, but cute...

Hanging out with Grandpa Randy...

Grandpa came over to spend some time with Jayden.

Gramma is at a church retreat so Grandpa didn't have to share with anybody!

Grandpa gave Jayden a bottle today! He had no problems taking it! Yay!

Grandpa helped give Jayden his first "real" bath today too!

He wasn't so sure about the whole bath situation...

Once Jayden was fed and bathed, he got to spend some cuddle time with Grandpa Randy.

Jayden's Future Babysitter...

Here is a picture of Jayden with his future babysitter! Alison was in my first grade class a few years ago and she's become a big part of my life. She is excited about Jayden's arrival and looks forward to watching him in the future. She's awesome!

Thanks for coming to visit Ali and also for the cute clothes!

Here is a picture of our growing boy.

He is 3 weeks old and now weighs over 10 pounds!

We can't believe how fast he is growing! His looks change all the time too.

Reading Books with Mommy and Daddy...

Jayden is very attentive and alert. He loves to listen to stories!

The panda book I'm reading him has pictures in black and white,

(which is all he sees right now),

so he loves looking at all the pictures. Look how focused he is!

We think he's VERY smart already!

Daddy was reading him the "Tale of Jeremy Fisher,"

a book Jamie used to read in Africa with his mom.

Jayden LOVES to stare at his daddy!!

Whenever Jamie has him, Jayden is just amused by him.

I think it's all the stories Jamie makes up and tells him!

Just hanging out...

Jayden is 2 1/2 weeks old now. He's growing fast!

He is such a content baby...

We're very thankful!

I love you Auntie Jenn Jenn!

Thanks for coming to visit me Auntie Jenn Jenn!

I love you very much! I miss you already.

I'll see you on the webcam and talk to you soon!

Happy Boy!

Jayden was very happy to see his Grandma and Grandpa Erickson!

Uncle Micah and Aunt Becky

Jayden's Great Aunt Margarethe from Minnesota came to visit him too!!

Auntie Jenn Jenn

Jayden's Auntie Jenn Jenn flew from Florida to meet him this week.
She LOVES to hold and cuddle him.

Uncle Craig loves him too!

Jayden was able to meet his cousins!

Here is a picture of Jayden and Ryan.

Jessica flew on her birthday to meet Jayden.

Happy Birthday Jess!

Enjoying some alone time...Jayden is one week old! He's growing SO fast!

Jayden's Family and Friends

Jayden is already one week old! He has changed SO much! It's amazing to see him grow and change everyday. Here are a few pictures I loaded very quickly.

Jayden's Auntie Jenn flew from Florida to meet him yesterday, along with his Uncle Craig and his only cousins, so I'll try to post those pictures in the next few days. Many of these are from the hospital a week ago. Sorry it took so long! We'll try to be better at posting.

Here is a picture of Jayden and Gramma Goose. We call Krista's mom "Gramma Goose" because she's always singing to him and reciting nursery rhymes. She sang to Jayden almost everyday when he was in the womb. (Even on the answering machine if we didn't see her or answer the phone!)

Grandpa Erickson says he'll take Jayden to Africa some day!

(Mom's not too sure about it though)

Grandma and Grandpa Erickson love to take pictures of Jayden! They think he is very cute!

Jayden spent his first Easter at the hospital...

He didn't mind too much...Grandpa Randy came and cuddled with him and sang him some songs. He even brought Jayden his first Easter Basket!

Uncle Micah

"Auntie" Aimee
