Aidan's 2 Month Appointment

May 8th we went to the Doctor's office for Aidan's 2 month appointment. They weighed and measured him and he was 11 pounds, 1 ounce & 23 1/4 inches long! Looks like he's going to be tall like his daddy! The doctor checked him out and said that he looked perfect and was in "good proportion". Next came the shots!! He got some cherry tylenol first which he liked. Then he got a rotavirus vaccine that he has to drink and apparently it doesn't taste so well because he almost choked himself! Then came the really bad part. He had several other vaccines, but they were combined into 3 shots total and man did he scream! Chad was laughing, but I almost started crying too because I was the one who had to hold him down. Once it was over all we had to do was give him a bottle and he was happy again. I am so glad that he won't remember any of that! But it is good news to hear that our little man is healthy!!!

Happy Independence Day!!

This 4th of July we headed out to Boulder City to spend time with the family.

It was great seeing all of Aidan's cousins. We also went to the parade to show off the little guy. We got to relax with family & friends, take Aidan for his first 'swim' and

have a sleepover at Gma & Gpa Morris' with all the kids back under one roof!!
