The weekend is over.....

..... and I am still pregnant. This is not a complaint, more of an accomplishment. I actually felt really great this weekend. We really accomplished a lot this weekend:

~ The nursery is SO close to being finished. All that is left is the rug, which came in today, so I can pick that up this afternoon, and we will be done.
~  I packed my hospital bag, and Jeff installed the infant car seat in my car once again. It is funny to drive around with two car seats in the back.
~  Aiden also got his 3rd haircut. His hair grows so fast. He was such a good boy. He just sat there the whole time while I cut it.

~ I think I finally started nesting. I started obsessively organizing drawers and sanitizing everything in the kitchen. But I am boycotting laundry as you can see from the picture above. In fact, I am thinking about continuing this for the duration.

Sorry about the novice video skills. You would think I would have this down by now. I am not sure how to turn this. I figured I would still post it though, sorry if it gives you motion sickness. As you can see Aiden is all over the place. We are in the process of learning not to touch the Christmas tree ("no touchy") and the fireplace ("hot"). I didn't know I said these things until I heard myself on video. I will go home and work on more complete sentences.

Fatten Him Up - Just Like The Turkey

Aiden had his one year appointment last week. He was in a really funny mood that day. He is normally so, so, friendly to everyone. Not this day. As soon as we arrived and the receptionist said hello, he looked down his binkie, furrowed his brow and growled at her. I think that he is starting to realize what exactly goes on when we go to the doctor...SHOTS.

He resorted back to his friendly little self when the doctor came in, and was walking all over the room. The stats came in at 19.5 lbs and 29.5 inches. Yep, he's "lean" as the doctor would say. Quite frankly I knew he was petite, but I was surprised that he wasn't even 20 lbs yet.

Our goal now, is to fatten him up a little. Even though we had almost completely made the transition to whole milk, she said that she would like him to continue with the formula for another month or so. Since he doesn't LOVE to be strapped into his high chair and eat, (there are many other things he would rather be doing).....we just need to make sure that every bite that he takes has more calories in it. He loves his fruits and veggies, but he needs more fat, sugar and carbs. If only we all had this problem....

She said not to worry though, and do what we can without making a big fuss. It may have a lot to do with genetics as well as the fact that he is walking all over now, (rarely crawling anywhere) and just burning so many more calories. I will be taking him back to the doctor at the end of the month for a weight check and more vaccinations (shhhhhh....don't tell Aiden he may start growling again). Send chubby thoughts his way!
