Aidan Miles Shepard Is Here

He's a little charmer. Aidan was born September 19th at 6lbs. 4 oz, 17 1/2 inches long and suffered the indignity of having his hair first brushed with a toothbrush! The nurses couldn't quit fooling around with his gorgeous head of hair. At first it was almost black like his daddy, but now almost four weeks later, it has lightened up to be more like momma's.

Aidan had a tough time to begin with. He worked really hard learning to nurse. Just when he got the hang of it, he had to quit since his momma, Leslie, had to go back in the hospital. But, he figured out that nipple on the bottle was pretty darn easy and now he's getting to be a little bit of a chunky fella.

It's pretty obvious NanaGG is one of his favorite people! He listens very intently when she talks to him and tells him that he is to love her the bestest! (after Momma and Daddy, of course)Aidan is my sixth grandchild and my fourth grandson. I love it! And I love him!! He's a keeper.
