Aidan at 15 months!

I cannot believe how fast time seems to go while watching your baby grow. He is so active and just loves life. It's amazing to me the things he learns just from watching people. He is so smart! He went to the doctor on Thursday and here are his stats: He weighs 21 lbs. 11 oz. which puts him in the 13% (slowly gaining weight but at least he's progressing, 2 lbs to be exact every three months), he is 31.9 in. long which puts him in the 72% for his height, and last his head measures at 46.4 cm which puts him in the 30%. Aidan is such a joy in our lives, and we can't wait for his little brother to be born to add to that joy we feel with Aidan. Here's some fun facts about Aidan...
