Aston turned one (or at least one month old) on the 14th October and boy has the little porker grown. He increased from 53 to 58 cms in length jumping from the 55th to the 95th percentile in height for his age. For the uninitiated this means that 95% of babies in the world are shorter than him.
He's also not surprisingly in the 95th percentile for weight and head circumference meaning only 5% of babies in the world are fatter than he is - and with a bigger noggin!
We've taken to calling him the little budda as the two poses he favours is to sit with his hands resting on his knees and his little-ish belly flopping out - or sit (assisted of course) with his hands folded across the belly in a thinking pose.
He's been making little baby noises for a few weeks now, the smiles are coming more frequently mainly when he dreams or farts but we have also convinced ourselves that there is the odd intentional smile - certainly his father seemed to get one this morning. I just get the 'oh' where is my milk bottle going wail.
He does need more tummy time which I need to make sure we perserver with - its a bit hard holding up a 95th percentile head at the best of times. His slightly droopy eyelid (left eye) continues to get stronger and his voice gets louder and louder with each meltdown.
We've received such generous gifts from our family and friends which we sincerely thank everyone for. I hope you enjoy the photos of Aston wearing and playing with the gifts he's received as much as we enjoy watching him.
Here's a few interactive shots from his first month.
