Five months

Mr. Aiden is five months old today!! And to celebrate, he got to go to the doctor's office and get shots!! Poor guy:) He is such a happy guy and it's sad to know that I am taking him in happy and leaving crying. He did well though. Aiden weighs in at 17 pounds 6 ounces (73%) and 26.75 inches (85%) and his head is in the 90th percentile. Poor guy has a big head. The doc said his head is a nice shape though and said he must not lay on his back too much. Haha!! Um....that's the only way he lays because he absolutely hates tummy time!! He will roll from his back to tummy but won't roll back and then gets mad and starts crying so I can't even lay him on the floor very often. I'm happy that it's not making his head misshapen though. He had a huge growth spurt for his length. Doc was worried that he wasn't big enough last appointment and this time he is the size of a seven month old. Yay! He found some tooth buds coming so I'm sure that is why Aiden has been chewing on his hand all the time. I'm also hoping this is one of the reasons why he is waking up in the night and that it will get better soon. Here's to hoping:) We are going to start cereal this week. I waited until 6 months with both of the girls because I heard that helps to prevent allergies but I think he is ready and he is almost 6 months anyway. I am only going to do cereals until then as well. He keeps grabbing at my food and stares at it so I think he wants that experience. And hopefully I will be able to leave him with some grandparents once he can have some nourishment from someone other than me!! Stinker just wouldn't take the bottle. Anyway, after the doc looked him over, it was time for the shots. I told the nurse to get ready for a very high pitched squeal and at first I thought he was going to make me a liar. He just cried regular but then I picked him up and he let it out. He was telling me that he wasn't very happy with that!! :) I just love this little man!!
This was after he woke up from his nap screaming and then fell back asleep after some nummies. I hope his shots don't hurt him too bad.
