The Aho Family: October 2009

Surprise!

Baby Ryan James Aho was born on October 29th at 7 pm! He was due November 15th but was ready to come! We didn't quite make it to Woodbury Minnesota where we were set to deliver, so had him in Hudson- got to the ER at 6:48, so just in the nick of time! He weighed in at 7 pounds even and is 20 inches long. He was down to 6 pounds 10 ounces early this morning though they tell us that's good...seems so small (bigger than his cousin Rohan though!). We came home this afternoon and have been settling in nicely. Sam had spent the last couple nights at Grandma and Grandpa Aho's house and came home (asleep) this afternoon and has been doing really well as big brother so far. We even braved the weather and took the boys trick-or-treating tonight...to two neighbors houses. More to come later but here's a start to the pictures...

10/18

Sam has had a SUPER busy weekend! He spent the night at Grandma and Boppa Aho's on Friday night so Momma and Daddy could go out for our anniversary, sleep in the next day and practice having Sam away from us for a little while when the baby comes. He did awesome and his grandparents seemed to survive too! Unfortunately he's got a cold right now, but still managed to be in really good spirits most of the weekend.

Sunday Boppa and Gatfly came up for the day and helped with a few things around the house...my large belly has impeded my cleaning of the bathtub, so Gatfly gave it the scrubbing of a lifetime- I didn't remember that it was supposed to be shiny... :o) And Boppa helped Daddy with a couple of projects too while Sam focused on being cute. Boppa Aho also stopped by with his buddy Wally so we got a shot of him and Sam with his workbench in the garage too. Daddy attached a small bench to the wall of the garage for Sam which has been a source of endless enthusiasm and pounding for Sam. And we got to watch the Packers win, so it was a pretty good weekend overall!
