Aiden's 4 month (at 5 months old) well check up!

What happend to the sweet, white haired newborn that we just brought home?

He got big, really big. Like.... a small toddler. Sheesh.

Birth                                     2 Months                              5 Months

 Head-12 inches                                Head-15.75                          Head-17''            

 Weight-6.8 lbs                          Weight-12.4lbs                       Weight-17lbs

Length-20 inches                       Length-22.50 inches          Length-27 Inches

 

Thats right, 17 pounds... I think he should try out for the infant football team, He might not even need shoulder pads ;)

 

We are currently in a battle with his teeth. (teething and deployment are my least favorite words right now) He went from sleeping through the night to being up 2-3x a night and it's making for a very cranky baby and a verrrrrry sleepy mommy. He gnaws on everything in site, you will rarely see him right now without his hang in his mouth, its usually he thumb he's chewing on, and the poor child keeps a bib on bc he is either soaked in drool or spit up (yay reflux!) Im WELCOMING teething tips btw. I've been using the teething tablets and using tylenol when he runs a low fever, but he has just been miserable lately, I hate it for him because I can't take away the pain :( But, he mananges to keep a smile, thats my baby :)

 

On a serious note...he is growing great and he is right on track with his development and milestones :)

 

Aiden's "To-Do" list :

Hold his head up

Roll over from front to back

I had to sneak a kiss in there!

My sweet baby, he's getting too big too quick!

 

Daddy,

  I miss you and I hope you get home soon! Mommy really misses you too...she talks about you all the time and I constantly hear your voice from the books, I think my first words may be something from a nursery rhyme or maybe from the scary book because I hear them so much ;) And yes, I learned to type before i could even sit up! but We love you and can't wait to see you again!

 Love you!

   Aiden
