hooray fall

i know -i've been neglecting my blog. now that things will (hopefully) settle down at work - i should be able to pick back up on it!

aiden is crawling ALL OVER this house - pulling up on everything and grabbing anything within his grasp. he is trying to cruise... so we got him some of the children's place socks that have the grippies on the bottom to help him with traction.

aiden had a good 6 month checkup - he was 20 lbs (90%) 28.5" long (above 95%) and head circumference was 46.5 cm (above 95%). BIG BOY! nurse caye said he was doing great!!

well - we have been to the doctor multiple times in the past 2 weeks - it started out, aiden just had an ear infection... pretty bad in one ear and just starting in the other. well he had an allergic reaction to the medication - and once off - his fever came back... STRONG - we went back to the doctor and the STOPPED taking his temp once it reached 104... doctor said his ears looked better - but still red - and his lungs were rattling - he said it was probably pneumonia - so aiden got a shot at the doctors office and another antibiotic - and he had an allergic reaction to that one too... so he was given another antibiotic along with a steroid. he is now doing MUCH better!

we dressed aiden up for the first time for halloween last weekend - we went to a family fall harvest party at the guyant's house... aiden was an adorable giraffe! we were supposed to go to the adult party the next day - but with aiden not feeling well - we didn't go.

we also took aiden to a "pumpkin farm" - it wasn't very fun. we didn't like the place we went... but we did get one cute picture of aiden!

i'm off to washington dc on monday for the early head start birth to three conference. i'll be back on thursday. i've been away from aiden over night - but 3 nights.... THAT'S going to be tough!

okay - well it's about time to wake aiden up... so he'll go to bed tonight!
