Count them digits

ALL of them digits!

Aiden turned a whopping 10 months last weekend. I chatted with my friend Lauren last week, whose sweet Lylah is eight days older than Aiden, and we can't believe that our itty bittys are so much closer to a year than to the newborns we brought home from the hospital. Oh time. I feel like I'll be fighting against it for.....the rest of my life. Days can't go slow enough. (In the future I may, perhaps, need someone to remind me that I just wrote that line....).

Little man weighed in at 17.4lbs on our scale at home, which translates to 17lbs 6oz. He's a happy fellow, unless he's hungry or tired. Or he's on the changing table. He hates that changing table and always has. We have lots of distraction techniques and are currently using the "Lion King" move - offering Aiden up to the ceiling god while singing "Circle of Life" before putting him down on the changing table. Generally seems to work long enough to get through a diaper change.

I completely digressed....Here's the wee man with Buddy (showing off his choppy new 'do).

We also attempted a height measurement using the awesome (AWESOME!) measuring board Aunt Brooke made Aiden. We shook out right around 28", which means we outgrow our car seat in another inch. However, we are still more than 2 1/2 pounds away from the weight requirement for the next seat. What are the odds Aiden will gain 2 1/2 pounds before he grows another inch? Slim to none? Ok, those were my calculations too.
