My little guy is 7 months old today and I love every minute I get to spend with him.  He had a doctor's appt today, his shots, flu shot, etc... He weighs 18lbs 6oz.  That is fully clothed.  He is 28" long and his head is 44, I don't know the unit they measure that in but i know it isn't inches!  LOL...  Aiden is sitting up all the time and starting to go from sitting to crawling position.  He gets up on his hands and knees and lunges foward but isn't crawling.  He doesn't really pull himself up yet either, which is fine with me.  He is eating more and more solids and his milk intake is dropping some... I think he is down to 24-26oz per day (only 2-4oz less than what he was getting but it still is sad.  I am anxious to be done pumping but I will miss it.  I am getting less and less consumed with it and still hoping to get 30oz per day, which I have been.  I have over 600oz in the freezer so that is a good thing.  Aiden loves most food... everything but meat!  He will eat chicken and noodles but that is it.  I mixed turkey with sweet potatoes the other night and he literally gagged on it.  But kept opening his mouth for more... too funny.

For Halloween we went to visit my brother in SanDiego.  He did great on the plane ride there but on the way back, he cried so hard he threw up everywhere.  We were descending so there was nothing we could really do.  And it was a packed flight!  No empty seats what so ever.  Anyway, we had tons of fun... We went to this little Halloween thing on the Marine base.  It was really neat and everything was free.  We went in and got a card and you went to each stand to get it stamp and once you got it all stamped you got a free pumpkin.  At each stand you got something... cotton candy, snow cone, carmel apple, a picture, then you got to make a frame for the picture.  We decorated a cookie, made a necklace, just all sorts of things.  It was fun and weather was beautiful.  Aiden had a good time.  Later on, we went trick or treating.  We got lots of candy.  I left most of it in SanDiego and what I did bring home is going to work tomorrow so I can get busy on losing weight!  I am almost done with the breast feeding goal, i had a healthy pregnancy and now I need to lose the weight.  Not only i want to do it for me so I feel better, I want to do it for Aiden so that he has a mama around for awhile and one who can keep up with up with him.  =)

Gotta run.  I am trying to stay caught up on everyone.  For some reason, all my DS stuff is going to my spam folder and I don't know how to get back to my in box.  i think of you all often and pray for you all daily!
