My six month birthday was exciting!

Talking is my favorite thing!

Aiden's favorite thing to do is avoid bedtime and talk non stop and look totally cute while doing it. For the past 3 nights he has decided that he does not need to go to bed and he stays up hours past his bedtime talking to us. But he is so cute how can we resist?

He can sit up now on his own if you put him in that position. I think that it happened overnight. Pretty soon he will be able to sit up whenever he wants to without my help. Am I ready for that??? Hmmmmm.... I don't think so. I miss my tiny little baby that needed to be held all the time. Where did my little baby go? Don't get me wrong, I love him so much and I am enjoying every stage of his development. But I do miss the earlier stages.

He is also almost able to crawl. He can get his legs under his body and he pushes himself all the way up on his hands. He just can't quite coordinate all of the movements together. He will get it soon though.

He is enjoing solid foods. His favorites remain apples and pears with sweet potatoes coming in third. He has also tried bananas, peas and carrots, peaches, cantelope and green beans. I tried avacado and he gags and tries to make himself throw up which makes Garrett super excited since he hates avacados. Any time someone around him has food or a drink Aiden wants to have some. He reaches for cups and foods like we haven't fed him for days. My child eats like it is his last meal! I can't figure out where he stores it all. Oh wait, that's right, its all in his thighs! He has massive thighs! All the fat in his body is stored there :)

I can't believe he will be 6 months tomorrow! Time flies when you have a baby.

I love my feet!

Doctor Update

We got Aiden in to see an allergist yesterday. He does not think that Aiden has asthma. That was so great to hear. Although he probably has a case of bronchiolitis. Which is an infection in his airways. Unfortunately kids who have bronchiolitis are more prone to asthma later in life. But we are taking it one day at a time.

The doctor prescribed 4 meds that he takes everyday for 2 weeks. We are going back in two weeks to check his progress. Hopefully it will be cleared up.

Despite all of this Aiden remains a happy baby. He has started playing with his feet every chance he gets. He loves to roll around and grab them. He can also almost sit up by himself. He weighs in at 18 pounds now. He has outgrown his girlfriend Kaelyn, who is a year old!

Update - doctors visit

So, Monday I took Aiden to the doctors for a cough he had. It turns out that he may have asthma. He is wheezing a little. The doctor told me that they don't technically diagnose asthma until they are 3 years old. They diagnosed him with Restrictive Airway Disease (which is basically asthma), and prescribed the use of a nebulizer. We started with Albuterol and Aiden did not sleep for 5 days. He was restless and very sad. We switched the medication to Xopenex which is supposed to make them less restless but so far haven't seen any changes. We are seeking a second opinion since daddy's side of the family has problems with allergies and asthma. We want to make sure we are taking precautions and getting him the correct medications. I will keep you updated on the situation.

Other than that not much has been going on here. Aiden is growing at a rapid pace. He is 5 1/2 months and weighs in a a whopping 17 lbs 13 ozs!
