Aaron's first year has flown by! Everyone says it does, but until it is your child it's hard to imagine how quickly it goes. It has been quite the year! We've had a couple of ER visits, lots of long nights and tons of fun traveling. We've had plenty of tears, questions and doubts. We've said more prayers, laughed harder, and experienced more joy than we could have imagined!
It's been another busy month for us. We had an out of town wedding in Colorado Springs. Then at the end of July Aaron and I went to Crested Butte to spend some time with my side of the family. Unfortunately, John couldn't take off work so he wasn't able to join us. Crested Butte is my favorite Colorado mountain town. Aaron and I had a wonderful time! Aaron was doted over by his grandparents and great-grandparents. I got to go mountain biking with my dad, we hiked, went out to eat and played games. We missed daddy but we had a lot of fun!
Milestones/accomplishments lately: Aaron can walk! He practiced a lot in Crested Butte and is now walking well. He can bend down and pick things up and enjoys carrying his toys. Aaron climb on the couch and get down by himself. He hugs, kisses and rocks his mouse and monkey. Aaron has a lot to say! He can now say, Mama, Daddy, Adah, vacuum, water, dog, tiger, banana and cracker. He can also make the sounds for a monkey, dog, mouse, cat, tiger and vacuum.
Favorite things: Walking, trying to run, emptying drawers, pointing at EVERYTHING and learning new words. Aaron loves to eat and especially likes bananas. Chasing Adah and getting doggy kisses. He also enjoys being outside and playing in the water. We have so much fun watching him grow and learn!
