Nine Month Doctor’s Appointment

Crissy February 21st, 2006

Today was Aiden’s nine month doctor’s appointment (he actually turned nine months on the 19th). It was extra special because Chris took the day off to come with us. The appointment was in the morning and so we got up as usual and headed off to the doctor’s office.

Our “little” bundle of joy weighed in at a whopping 21 pounds 9 ounces with a height of 28 and 3/4 inches. I’m so glad he has slowed down his growth, he used to be in the 95% for weight and he is now in the 50-75%. Height-wise he is still in the 75%, so he is one healthy guy. The doctor gave him a glowing report and we were two proud parents. Aiden didn’t even flinch when the lab technician took his blood, he was actually fascinated by the process. The shot he received was too close to nap time so it sent him into hysterics.

We took Aiden home and he went down for a three hour nap. I had several meeting at the college which gave Chris some quality daddy time. The doctor gave us the okay to feed Aiden protein and more table food, so daddy got a chance to give him his first dinner meal. They had so much fun and while I missed them, it was nice for them to have the opportunity to bond.

Every night before Chris and I fall asleep we talk about how we are so lucky to have such a great kid. He is social and happy with a wonderful sense of humor. We are still in awe that we even have a child let alone such a good natured one. We are truly enjoying being parents and can’t wait for the next milestone.
