Aaron Eight Months

Wow! I am actually doing Aaron's eight months update on time! I can hardly believe I am typing eight months. Has it really been that long already? Our little guy is growing so fast. He is starting to look more like a little boy each day.

Before Monday it had been a pretty uneventful month (see previous post)! Poor guy has a milk allergy. I wish I didn't have to add an ambulance ride to his list of firsts for the month. Oh well, we are just so thankful that the reaction wasn't worse! It was so sweet and sad to see him smiling at the firemen and paramedics! Even though his eyes were so swollen he cold barely see and he must have been terribly itchy, he was still trying to be his happy little self. He is even smiling in the pictures I took at the hospital. He is such a happy guy. I just love it!

Milestones/accomplishments lately: He is still SO close to crawling. He gets on all fours and kicks off with his toes. Aaron does quite a bit of exploring this way! He is also very close to going from lying down to sitting. Just the other day I noticed him push up on his side and rest on one arm. Our little man is becoming more and more skilled at showing us what he likes and just as important, what he doesn't like. He will push our hands away, shriek and arch his back if something is happening that he doesn't like. I guess it's good that he is learning to communicate! Aaron is babbling a ton and also got the hang of waving recently!

Favorite things: Standing and walking (with our help)! Chasing Adah. She will move and he will scoot after her! Banging on things and making noise. Swinging in the swings at the park. Monkey toys and us making monkey noises. "Playing" the piano. Listening to us tell him what things are. Silly games with his daddy, especially talking mouse games! Exploring by army crawling all over the house!

Here is a video from Easter. Aaron is playing with his friend Autumn (Elliana makes an appearance too)! Autumn is missing one of her socks because Aaron pulled it off of her foot. Enjoy!
