Aidan's 9 months old

Aidan is 9 months old today. Time is flying by so fast now. With Nick I was wishing for him to grow up and meet all his milestones faster but this time I just want time to slow down. I want him to stay small and cuddly and sweet. Aidan's 9 month check up went well. He weighs 19 pounds 8 ounces which is down a little bit from his last check up but I don't put too much stake into the scale at the peds office as it isn't very accurate. He seems to be doing well without Reglan which is a huge step for us in the GERD battle. Only a flu shot so that is nice as well. It was the first doctors appointment ever that wasn't stressful. It has been a long and draining nine months at times and there was a while where we weren't sure if we would make it to this point, but for the first time in a while things are finally starting to look up. Aidan's Upper GI came back clean this week and revealed that his LES is finally closing on its own which it wasn't doing even a month ago. Also, his esphogus seemed to be clear of the ulcers. We are very thankful and grateful to God for bringing us to this point. Aidan is such a joy and a blessing in our lives and we can't wait to watch him grow up, just not too fast!

By the way my little nephew is taking his drivers license test this week and that makes me feel so old. He was Nick's age when Jeremy and I first started dating ten years ago. I still seem to think of him as a little kid even though he is 6 foot 2 and grows facial hair. All this is just a reminder that life goes by fast and we just need to relax and enjoy all the blessings God gives us everyday.
