Almost ONE!

Aaron's birthday is in three days! I can hardly believe he is almost one year old. He has changed quite a bit, but is still such a joy. We love his smiles. He is learning how to feed himself - he's a good eater - and loves to get into cupboards and drawers. One of his favorite places to be is under the bathroom sink in Mom & Dad's room. He crawls right in and finds something to play with. His tooth that has been bothering him finally came through this past week. He loved sucking on little mini popsicles. I think the cold felt good. Even after the tooth came, he still likes them, though, so it could just be that it's sweet.





Other Aaron Moments and Milestones
Aaron pulls himself up on everything and LOVES going up the stairs. I haven't got a picture of him on them because I'm usually trying to stay behind him or chase him down so he doesn't fall. He goes pretty fast and loves it. He gets all excited when he hears you coming after him.

Aaron also loves balls - that's no surprise. He likes someone to hold him up to basket while he drops it in. He even tries to shoot on his knees sometimes. He still says "ooh" and "what's dat" all the time. He also says "nnn" and points to his nose or my nose. When you ask him where the ball is, he looks around until he sees it and then looks back at us and points to the ball. We say, "Go get the ball" and he does. He's also learning how to sort shapes and put them in his toys (circles are good, the others he needs help on), and put the rings on the stacking thing. All good things for a one-year old to do.

He's a busy boy, but he always has a big smile for anyone who walks into the room. He loves his mom and grandmas the most, though. He will go to them above anyone - Grandmas first and then mom.
