Danielle Olivera is celebrating every milestone as her newborn son continues making progress in the NICU.

The “In the City” and “Summer House” alum welcomed son Aidan Santos Heavey with boyfriend Eoin Heavey on June 21, nearly 10 weeks before his due date. Since then, Danielle has kept fans updated on Aidan’s journey, sharing both the challenges and the joyful moments as he grows stronger each day.

Her latest Instagram updates revealed several exciting milestones for the tiny fighter, including breathing on his own, wearing newborn-size diapers and enjoying some long-awaited cuddles.

Danielle Olivera Celebrates Baby Aidan’s Biggest NICU Achievements

On Aug. 2, Danielle shared on Instagram that Aidan had officially graduated to breathing “room air,” eliminating the need for additional oxygen support.

The milestone also came with a special bonus.

“Way more cuddles now,” Danielle wrote, explaining that Aidan also gets to wear “cute outfits all the time.”

She couldn’t resist joking about one of his latest looks, writing that he resembles “an old Irish man at the pub.”

Danielle also revealed that Aidan recently moved into newborn-size diapers, another sign that he’s growing stronger.

The proud mom documented another memorable first when Aidan took his very first bath.

“Didn’t love it, didn’t hate it,” Danielle joked over a photo, adding a crying-laughing emoji.

The latest milestones come just weeks after Danielle celebrated another exciting first in July, when Aidan wore his first outfit.

In recent Instagram Stories, Danielle has also shared glimpses of daily life in the NICU, including photos of herself cuddling Aidan, posing with Eoin before visiting their son and watching her mother spend quality time with the newborn.
