9 Months Big!!!

Today was Aidens 9 Month check up. I know that I have said this a million times before..but Time Flies!! It really doesn't feel like it has been 9 months!! Today was a quick and easy check up!
Here are some fun 9 Month Facts about Aiden
-He weighs 19lbs..he is only in the 20% for his weight..but considering at his first doctors appointment he was only 4lbs 4oz..we are doing great!!
-He is 27 inches long...he is only in the 17% for his height..I figured out he was short when all of his summer shorts really looked like pants!
-He loves sweet potatoes! He really is a good eater, but when he is not in the mood to eat anything else, I break out the sweet potatoes!
-He is fascinated by our cat! He has just figured out how to scoot and roll to catch his tail and sometimes thinks it is a chew toy. I find myself repetedly saying" No, No! We don't eat Mayce boy!"
-He is usually very happy, and anyone can make him smile!


Here is my little chubs waiting for the doctor to come check him out!


One of our favorite parts about visits to the doctor is lunch! Because Aidens doctor is in Rexburg, we always make his appointments around lunch time...and always go to lunch with Grandma Rita after. Today we went to Dairy Queen, and grandma shared her lunch with Aiden! He loves french fries and gravy!! Mmmm...Mmmmm.
While I am sad to think that my little boy is growing up...he is so much fun! I loved the tiny baby snuggly stage, but it is so fun to see him get his own personality! I love watchin for new things to happen every day!

He is growing so fast. I can't believe how big he is for a premee. Austin was almost 6 weeks earlier and until recently he has always been in the 5 or 10 percentile. So Adien is doing awesome!

I can't believe he's already 9 months! Tyler's 4 month check up is next thursday. My mom weighed him on tuesday at her house and he was 16lbs, so we'll see how accurate her scale is!

I know it is sad when they grow up so fast but it only gets better from here. When they start to call you mom and mommy it is the most wonderful thing in the world. And it is so fun when they start to talk in full sentences. Plus this just means that it's almost time for another one!! Ha Ha. Just kidding. I wouldn't recomend having them as close as I did. But isn't it so fun to be a mom. Crystal

He is so cute! I still think that it is funny we both had babies so close together. Nice cat too by the way. My cat it such a brat. He purposely wakes Liz up at 5 in the morning by pawing at her and meowing cuz he knows that if he wakes her up I have to get up and chances are that I will feed him. Stupid cat!!
