Our 10 mo. Well Visit

Aidan had his 10 mo. Well Visit today.  He is in the 90th percentile (@18.75") for head circumference, 50th percentile (@28") for length & 10th percentile (@17lbs 10oz) for weight.  Dr. Kidd gave him a clean bill of health & says he is doing great.  He can now eat any food other then honey!

Greg keeps saying that with a noggin that large hopefully there are some brains in there too.  I always laugh at that since Aidan is already very vocal jabbering up a storm; saying dadda, what sounds like bye, ok, yea, and occasionally dog.  

When we were at lunch today there was a baby there that was 3 days younger than Aidan & he wasn't waving or jabbering.  He was drinking from a bottle & was brought in sitting in his car seat carrier. (let me add there is nothing wrong with this, just using it as a comparison to what Aidan is doing) Aidan sits in a high chair when we go out; he drinks through sippy cups mainly with straws or through the restaurants kiddie cups; he eats regular food when we are there too.  

I know you're not suppose to compare your kids to other kids, but its so hard not to do.  The other baby today looked healthy & happy, which is all that really matters in the end. 

Aidan is becoming very independent in some ways & not in others.  He wants to feed himself, drink from the water bottle like we do, play with the remote for the TV & play with our laptops.  Where he isn't independent is when it comes to going to sleep; he still wants me for comfort at nap time and bed time; or playing in an area where we are in sight but not right there with him.

Ok Aidan is about ready for bed.  Just waiting til 10:30 so we can give him another dose of pain meds since he got a shot at the Dr.'s office today.

Night!
