Yup that's right, Aiden is already 6 months old!! It seems crazy to think that he is already that old - the time has gone soooo fast. We went to the doctor yesterday for his 6 month check and he said that everything is looking good. He weighed 14lb 2oz (5%) and was 27 1/4 inches long (75%). Of course his head is still in the 80th % but what can you say... he's a Shelle :)
The doc's only concern was that Aiden still had some fluid in his ears. He had an ear infection about a month ago and the Dr. Josh had hoped that the fluid would be gone by now. Since the fluid is still there he decided to just wait another month and see if it goes away on it's own. If not we will have to go to an ENT doctor and maybe think about ear tubes. The fluid doesn't seem to be bothering Aiden and doesn't cause any damage to the ears but if it interferes with his hearing it could cause speech delays later on. However since Aiden talks ALL the time and pretty much talked for the entire doctors visit Dr. Josh isn't too worried about that right now.
As for his development he is doing great, meeting all the expected milestones. He rolls from his tummy to back pretty regularly now and is almost rolling from back to tummy. He is also getting pretty close to sitting on his own but still tips over sideways when you let him go. He has developed a great laugh - he usually saves it for dad but sometimes I am lucky enough to get it too.
