Inside Out

Happy inside out day to Aiden!!! He has now been outside my tummy for as long as he was inside. In other words he is 9 months old today!I would like to destroy this picture due to how incredibly ENORMOUS I am! But that's me a few days before Aiden came. If you live in texas you already know this but the weather here has been CRAZY and it dropped an amazing amount of degrees in the past two days. Last night they were predicting ice on the roads and were already closing the bridges when ben got off work. So this morning I got up early looked and saw that most of the schools around here were either closed or starting late and decided it wasn't worth it to take Aiden out in the below freezing weather and potentially dangerous roads to drive to fort worth (an hour drive) for his doctor's appt. So I called to reschedule and they can't get him back in until mid january which I think is dumb but for 9 months he doesn't get any shots or anything it's just a well baby visit so I guess it's not that big of a deal. I wanted to know his measurements and stuff but oh well. Now to catch everyone up on his 9 month status. Aiden is such a big boy. He now has 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth. He is eating more and more "people" food and taking less bottle. He is wearing AT LEAST 12 month clothing and I have even stopped buying that and am now moving on to either 12-18 or 18 months. It's crazy what a little boy he is turning into! Also we went to stride rite about a week ago and they measured his feet and he is currently wearing a 4 and a half! So again I am buying at least 5's which look HUGE! Let's see what else....Aiden can completely stand by himself although he is still unsure about it. He is taking steps all over the place as long as he has something to hold on to. I really think he will be walking fairly soon. He has not gotten much further on the whole "talking" thing. He occasionally will do "dadadada" which we count as "dada" but other than that he mostly speaks in squeals and grunts and sighs and whines....which since I know what they all mean I guess he has no reason to talk! He is the strongest little baby and anything you think he CAN'T do or isn't strong enough to do...I assure you he can! I think that's about it for the 9 month status. Other than that he is getting into everything, he is as busy as can be, has no time to be held, has no time to stay in one place for very long, he wants anything and everything he's not supposed to have. He is the light of our lives and we have loved every minute of these last 9 months. Now just a quick look back. This is coming home from the hospital... It seems unreal that he was ever that small. Happy inside out day to Aiden who grew in my tummy for 9 months and has grown in my heart every day since!

Side note:  I will be uploading Aiden's 9 month old pictures in a couple days!
