6 month check-up



Aidan had his 6 month check-up today - it's hard to believe six months have already gone by! Lauren helped me take baby to the doctor today. She of course talked off the ear of anyone that would listen - the doctor, the nurses, the appointment lady. Everything from the whale on her shirt to she's big to why is the zebra on the doctor's stethoscope - she just cracks me up.

Aidan was 17 pounds, 1 ounce and 27 inches long. He is in the 25-50 percentile for weight and 50-75 percentile for length. The doctor said he looked really good and could tell how happy of a baby he is. He gave me the name of a pediatric ophthalmologist and said to call him if his tear ducts don't open up in the next couple of months. Aidan got three shots today and one vaccine orally. He didn't even cry with the first two shots, but the third one got to him :(

The doctor said that in the next couple of months he'll start sitting up and possibly pulling himself up and start cruising the furniture. I can now start buying the stage 2 foods, but they still need to be really soft and mushy. At 7 months we can start introducing some meats.

I'm hoping that it will finally be nice this weekend and that the rain will stop. We're watching Cody this weekend, so I'm sure we'd love to get out and do something outside. Ken and Jane are in Baltimore for a funeral so Michelle has to look after the bar for Ken. Since Cody can't stay home alone, we'll be watching him. I have to work tomorrow afternoon (last game of the season - yeah), so I'm sure this will be a crazy weekend and not very relaxing.

Ricky didn't finish the basement this week, so no painting yet - not that we have time this weekend anyway. He should be finished next week, so looks like the painting party will be next weekend. That's all - everyone have a great weekend!
