Aidan's 4 week checkup...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while...I actually have a camera full of pictures of adventures we've been on over the past couple of weeks, that I will download. Be on the lookout for new postings this week!

Nevertheless, we had Aidan's 4 week appointment last Monday; he got his first immunization shot and his little cry was heartbreaking. He is doing great! Gaining weight like a champ and he is so strong with both head/neck and bearing weight on legs! Here are his most recent stats:

Height 24 inches
Weight 12.8 pounds
Head ...i never remember this one (b/c they don't write this down in his book)

He is above the 95th percentile in both weight and height! Another fun fact was when we compared Joseph at 4 weeks with Aidan at 4 weeks, Aidan is over a pound bigger and 1 inch longer! Dr. Wallace says they need to grow up fast to help the Bengals with their defensive line! I don't know about that...however, Brad would be thrilled I have a feeling!

Aidan's 2 week appointment

Aidan has his 2 week appointment last Friday (I know I'm a week late posting the info...life is crazy with 2) and he is doing great. He gained 1 pound in a week (from his 1 week appt. to his 2 week appt.); weighing in at 10 pounds 13 ounces...Dr. W says breastfeeding is obviously working with the little guy.

Height 23.5 (97th percentile)

Weight 10.13 pounda (90-95th percentile)

Head Circumference 75th percentile (can't remember the measurement)

His circumcision has healed wonderfully! He's an overall healthy baby. We truly feeled blessed!

Joseph's 15 month checkup...

We had Joseph's well-baby check up this morning. Here are his current stats...

Height 33.5 inches (97th percentile)

Weight 28.12 pounds (90-95th percentile)

Head circumference...can't remember, but above the curve (gets it from his mommy)

He is healthy and happy! Dr. Wallace is pleased with his development and disposition. He says he is a very happy little guy. He knows 5-10 words, which is great for this age; however, he's not walking on his own yet. Little man is cruising everywhere and will hold your fingers and walk forever, but does not have the confidence as of yet to walk on his own. Dr. Wallace says not to worry...that we'll probaby be surprised in the next month, or so, with how he'll take off.

Who's been sitting in my chair?

The first morning we were together as a family, Joseph discovered Aidan's bouncy chair. Without hesitation, he climbed right in the chair with his bottle and relaxed while watching Boohbah on the TV. It was too cute!

My boys!

God has blessed me with three wonderful boys to share my life with; what more could one ask for?

By the way, Joseph is adapting well to life with a baby brother. He kisses him, will hand me Aidan's pacifier to give to baby brother, & always is interested as to where his future sidekick is. At the same time, he can tune out his little brother's cries and go on with his business without missing a step.

Aidan Clark Meyer

As promised, here are some pictures of our newest addition. Aidan is a great baby, so far he is very mellow and only cries when he's hungry or gassy. Breastfeeding is going extremely well (knock on wood) and with all hopes he will have gained weight at his first pediatrician appointment this Friday.
