Worlds Tallest Baby?

Okay, maybe not quite. But Aiden had his 9 month well-check and he is TALL.

Official stats:
Height - 30" (2.5 feet!!!) which lands him in the 93rd percentile
Weight - 19 lbs 3.5 oz gets him in the 27th percentile
Head Circumference - 18.75" a staggering 96th percentile

What this means in regular people terms:
Aiden is a helluva lot taller than most of the other 9 month olds, and a pretty good bit skinnier. He also apparently has a HUGE head in comparison to most his age.

Tall. Skinny. Big head. Exactly like his daddy!


His doctor also said he needs to come back in October for his flu shot. I haven't yet decided if I'm going along with this game plan. I personally am anti-flu shot. Even while I was pregnant and supposedly "high risk" I did not take the needle. I have yet to hear from one person that it has done them any good. And in fact, a lot of people who have received it have actually gotten grotesquely sick. Do I really need to be putting Aiden through that? It seems to me that people are just as fine, if not better without the stupid thing. So I guess we'll see what my final decision is.

Also big news today! I might have sold our lovely couch. I put it up on craigslist because it's too much of a beast to go in our new apartment, and the half-assed responses have been pretty irritating. But finally someone came to see it and said they want it, so lets hope that's the end of my couch-selling woes.

I'm contemplating two different couches as replacements.


70's Wonder

or

Modern Traditonal (ignore the pillows)



I want to pair the couch with this chair so I lean slightly more towards 7o's Wonder but I think it would look pretty cute with either.



And since I can paint, I'm thinking of going with a tasteful aqua color on the walls.



Wahhoo for decorating!
