Growing up
Today I finally caught lots of Aaron on video as he's rolling over now and holding up his head and grabbing his ring (yes it's the same type Jason had but not the same one). He's a very happy baby always smiling, grinning and laughing and starting to make lots and lots of noises.
We've no jealousy issues so far and his big brother actually comes running over to caress his head/face or rub his belly if he starts to cry. In the car his big brother keeps an eye on him and tells us if something is not right so we can stop and check things out.
It's tough with two kids but we are holding up nicely and getting into a rhythm - my work travels coming up will hopefully not be too disruptive. Speaking of travels all 4 of us stayed the night in a hotel this past week in Frankfurt because we had an early appointment at the Consulate the next morning. So within the next couple of weeks will receive Aaron's US birth certificate, passport and the works and thus will have everything we need for our end of the year trip to Florida.

Hanging ten...
I've never heard or seen anything like this before, quite interesting device.
Basically it hangs there and Aaron lays on it but it's also a seat (you can't see his back end sloped down and his feet are on the floor) and this helps build muscles and with the whole supporting of the neck and all that.
So far 2 minutes is max before he gets bored but he's holding his up quite well!

Look Mom!
Well things are very much back to normal here at home and Aaron is progressing along like a champ, getting bigger and more active day ba day!
He's not laughing and smiling and starting to grab things so we are very excited! In his little chair he'll bat around the little toys attached to it or when we lay him on the couch with a mobile thingy over him.
Lately he's just constant smiling (even though I've yet to capture a picture of it).

10 Weeks in review
This weekend was the first one where all 4 of us were here at home in the past couple of weeks! So I decided it might be a good time to take a look back at the last 10 or so weeks since around the time Aaron arrived.
Jason fell and busted his lip, resulting in Nicole and he being in the hospital for a few days, the following week Nicole went into the hospital to have Aaron.
Aaron and Nicole stayed n the hospital for a week or so.
My mom flew over from the US and the first week Aaron was home we had her here (thank goodness!!!!)
Then we began to slowly try to figure things out, luckily I was on vacation the whole time so that helped to sort things out.
Jason and I drove 360KM down to Walldorf, stayed in a hotel, visited my office then drove home.
I went off to Walldorf over night and all was well - a bit hectic and stressful but none to bad.
I went to Berlin for 3 days and Nicole had "stress" so that was kind of rough.
I got home and the following night around midnight, Nicole called down and said she needed me - Aaron was throwing up and could not get it out of his system resulting in not being able to breath. 110 (that's 911 in Germany for you US folks) and the ambulance came and off they went.
They spent several days in the hospital, came out and 24 hrs later the little guy was throwing up non stop. Back they went. It seems they picked up a virus while there.
A few days later (this is called Parenting right?) I got to hold Jason in my arms while he threw up down my back all night long. Needless to say we both got it too (I had issues the following night about 20 hrs after Jason).
So this weekend we enjoyed being home and having time together, most of it was spent outside on a beautiful day!
We are hoping that we can finally get into some type of a routine!

Lazy Day
In a moment of peace and quiet we snapped this photo of the two guys just chilling out.
On another note, this morning Jason decided he wanted his little brother next to him in bed and so he dragged Aaron up the bed next to him (he pulled the foot or better said the pyjama foot) - kind of scared us!

Home all 4 of us...
In a surprise move Nicole and little Aaron came home today instead of first thing in the morning. Nicole was ready to be home and Jason and I were ready for them to be home.
Now we've all been home for at least 4 hours now and everyone seems to be just fine,
I also seem to be the last one up as usual :-)
Jason is also very excited to have Mama home as well it's been rough on him this past week, when I told him tonight I had a surprise for him he screamed Mama and ran for the door - we drove to the hospital and brought everyone home. You can see from the photo even chatting with Mama on the phone was not enough but now that she is home he seems to be almost 100% back to himself.

Aaron Peter
Well he has arrived, he was born on 28.03.2008 at 12:02pm. Coming in at 3270g and 50cm he's healthy and happy resting with his mother (also healthy and happy)!
It's been in the world now for some time and today he got to meet his older brother, it went quite well - Jason came in saw him and said "baby" and took a look and did the little head rub deal and all that then decided to run out and play. Aaron was eating so it wasn't like we could do much else other than stand there.
He came back in at this time I had Aaron in my arms and Mama was off in the bathroom (she's doing great, already up and walking) and Jason's first word when he saw the empty bed was "BABY!" and he looked everywhere then saw him in my arms then said "MAMA!" so looks like he has already acknowledged the new guy into the family and he takes first place (I'm of course last but he as long as everyone is happy right?).
Aaron had a bit of fever but once he started to eat then things went back to normal and today he was eating away so all is well and everyone is happy! I've not had much time there as I've been with Jason but the time has been cherished both with Jason as well as with Aaron!

First views...
The little guy is getting much bigger, the time is getting closer and of course we are super excited!
This week is the next meeting so we'll have another chance to see him, the 3D technology is just amazing!
