Guacamole Strikes Back

Aiden lost a fight against a bowl of guacamole.  The guacamole ended up all over his clothes, face, toys, and even in his eyes.  Next time dad and baby need to remember not to eat when playing with toys. Make sure you vote in the poll.

Outgrowing Clothes or is Aiden Fat?

Don't you hate it when you start outgrowing your favorite onesie. Nice onesies are hard to find anymore.

Updated Growth Charts - Jan 2012

Aiden is continues to make good progress.  Still ahead on length and head circumference. He continues to slow with his weight gain.  Anecdotally, I don't think pediatrician care about these charts. Since our pediatrician's nurse doesn't know how to measure length.

We told our doctor that the nurse didn't measure our baby correctly. After explaining our understanding of how to measure Aiden she responded, "You're correct [on how to measure him]. The length doesn't matter until he can stand straight".

Happy New Year!
