Well yesterday was Aiden's 5 month old birthday. We made sure to remind him of that all day long, even singing it to him at one point.
His surgery went well and he seems to still be in recovery mode. They found an absess while they were operating and were able to also get that removed so that it didn't have the chance to cause any problems. There were no complications and he seems to be coming around feeling pretty good. We are doing our best to keep him pumped up on tylenol just to be on the safe side! Such a great little baby boy!
I must say though, that I worry sometimes about the amount that kid eats!! Dan and I were reading up on the recommended intake for a 5 month old yesterday and it was nowhere near what Aiden eats!! It says on average, a 5 month old will take in about 32 oz of formula a day (Aiden does that just during the night) and 1-2 Tbsp of fruits or veggies...(Aiden eats 5 or 6 "2nd Foods" a day!!!). He is doing great growth wise so I haven't put too much focus or energy into the issue but it's still rather interesting. He also isn't sleeping through the night yet which is slightly frustrating. He wakes up 2-3 times during the night to drink his formula which makes my few hours of sleep even less when you take the 30 minute wake up feeding sessions into account. But, by at least 9 months from now when the new little bundle arrives, Aiden will be pro at everything that he isn't already pro at. He's one smart cookie!!
