Jim and I had picked out the name Ayden when Addison was born in the event we had a son instead of a daughter. This second time around we talked boy names for countless hours over the nine months, but the name Ayden still won out in the end. The Irish meaning of Ayden is "fiery one" while the Hebrew meaning of the name is "pleasant." Now that we've had some time with him, we realize how perfect this name is for our Ayden. When he's happy, he is a very pleasant baby, but when he's mad...watch out! Currently his fieriness mainly tends to manifest when it's time to change his diaper. You'd think the little guy was being hung by his toes! Hopefully this will change with time given that he has many, many diaper changes in his future.

These photos are of our little Ayden at the end of his first week. Jim strategically took the pictures during one of his "pleasant" spells. He was totally sacked out!

These pictures are beautiful...actually all the pictures on your blog are.  I know exactly what you mean about the diaper change. Brady is not a fan either.  You would think we were tourching the poor little man.

I've enjoyed getting to know your new son through all your photos on this site.  You have an amazing skill with a camera Jim.  There is so much life to them, it doesn't feel like looking at a 'picture'.  One of these day's we'll have to stop by a pay a visit.
