Arridian is 3 wks old today

It's crazy that our little Arridian is 3 wks old today. I don't go back to work until Dec so we still have a lot of time left together thank goodness. He is already pushing off of us when we have him on our chest and he raises his head and looks around. We're still up about every two hours for feedings during the night and sometimes more often during the day. Brian had a week off when he was born and we loved having him home to help out. Grandma Karen came over for about 4 days too and that was very helpful as well. We look forward to our first long car ride 10 hrs one way to Sioux Falls SD this weekend for Jordan's wedding. On the 26th of Sept Brian and I snuck away for a few hours to go to a concert of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Arridian stayed in a hotel w/ our friend Rocie less than a mile away and I played the crazy mom checking in every hour for the 3 and a half hours we were away from him. He did great though and enjoyed his 2nd bottle of breast milk just fine. Rocie said when she was holding him he had his eyes closed and then started rooting around and looked confused, opened his eyes and looked at her and his eyes got bigger than his head when he realized it wasn't mama and she took the cue and gave him the bottle. So overall he did great, better than mama!
