6 month update

Just a quick update from Aaron's appointment with the pediatrician today. For starters, while we were waiting in the exam room, Aaron was chewing on my finger and I felt the pokes of his first tooth! I had been checking his mouth so often and finding nothing, that I just stopped checking for the little pokers! Well, teething has officially started and Aaron is working on his first tooth (one of the front teeth on the bottom).

He weighed in at 20 pounds, which is in the 90th percentile, is 27 3/4 inches long, which is between the 75th and 90th percentiles, and has a head circumference of 45 1/2, which is in the 95th percentile. In summary - we've got a big boy on our hands!!! Dr. Kazdin said that Aaron looks wonderful and she was thrilled with all of his progress. I don't suppose that it hurt his case when it came to impressing her that we could hear her in the room next door to us before our appointment with a child who was screaming very loudly! She was having a blast with Aaron who was smiling and laughing at her, being his usual charming self!

Aaron got his 6 month shots, as well as a flu shot, so we had to go out to the waiting room and stay there for 20 minutes so they could make sure that he didn't have any reaction to the flu shot. In the waiting room, Aaron thoroughly entertained a mom and dad with twin boys who were 2 days older than him, with is smiling, laughing, and making funny, loud noises! Then, he had a total diaper blowout... the kind where you just have to throw away the onesie, becuase you don't even want to take it home with you! Just thought I'd share, because needless to say- it was a very eventful trip to the doctors office today!
