Not that this is new news, but Hayden is on the small side. Todd and I, since before Hayden was even here, have over estimated how much our little man weighs. We thought he would be a 8 or maybe a 9 pounder when he was born, but he was 7.9. At every wellness appointment we usually overestimate about a pound. Todd's estimate was 17.8, I thought he was crazy, there is no way he could be that big yet, and I said he was 16.3. They measured him all out and he was 26 and a fourth inches tall and weighs 15.10 pounds. We got the same old questions, "Does he eat well?" "Is he spitting up food?""Is he developmentally on target" and "Does he sleep well?" He eats great, doesn't spit up, is developmentally on target and sleeps wonderfully. Conclusion, he's just a little guy. The doctor jokingly said, "Well 4% of kids are smaller than him, you just have to try and find them, then he'll be the big man on campus." I like out little guy, he wears clothes a lot longer than most babies, but I am hoping he can fit into 9-12 month clothes before the end of the summer (but not looking good since he still wears 3-6). Not much news since the last update, he did have his first experience with snacking on a bug... yippy for firsts!
Taking pictures of this kid this time around was a big pain!! He just wanted to crawl somewhere else, eat my camera and not smile... he's a little pooper (speaking of poop... I changed four poopy diapers in one day... all hours apart, it was ridiculous... SIR POOPS A LOT).
But we like him!
We are gearing up for the Olympics, literally, and I cannot wait to do nothing else but watch all the games. Next week I have the pleasure of getting my wisdom teeth pulled, SO EXCITED! Todd's way excited to care completely for Hayden, and me, fun time had by all, can't wait. That's it, that's all, there isn't anymore.
