Baby's First Christmas

Looking over his stash!





Oooh neat toy!
One of my favorite shots from this Christmas. Note that Aeden has learned to hold his own bottle. He is 5 months old.


Wiped out!

Month 5




Getting the DOC band

December 14, 2001

Aeden has positional placiography (sp?) and torticullis (tightening of a neck muscle) which caused a severe flat spot on his head. So he has to wear a DOC band that applies pressure in certain areas and alleviates pressure in the flat areas to allow his head to round out more.

Aeden got his DOC band today (4 days earlier than expected). Woohoo. It is complicated though, and we have to take it off and monitor red spots (pressure points...where the band is applying pressure) for the first 48 hours...the band comes off every 3 hours until the red spots go away...hopefully within the first hour. Still waiting and this is the first time that we have taken it off...the hour is almost up, I hope they go away soon, because I really want this to work out, and not have to go in for readjustments before he goes over to wearing it 23/7. As it is he has to go in every week for them to check it. So anyway, that was a really long run-on sentence. He thinks he looks really funny...when I put him in front of the mirror he smiles at himself.

Strange baby

December 11, 2001

While eating:
--he will grasp the nipple of the bottle with his teeth and then pull it out and make it go ping.
---He will chews on the nipple with the side of his mouth (inside)

While trying to clip his nails.
--grab the nail clippers to "help"

While playing/being changed/sleeping:
--picks up leg and slams it down hard on whatever surface.
--migrates: manages to rotate himself around in circles (especially irrtating to mama during diaper changes)

When excited
--he will pull his tongue to the back of his mouth and make an o shape with his mouth (very cute look)

When he flirts with someone
--he will turn and look at me to see if I am watching...don't know what the deal with that is :)
Also he just discovered my ears. :)
