Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)

Snow Day

It snowed a ton the week of Thanksgiving. So bad that Sammy was able to work from home on Tuesday. The problem was on Monday, I watched a friend's kid all day so I wasn't able to get out of the house that day and was tuck inside. On Wednesday I was going stir crazy and needed to get out, but my car was stuck. We’d gotten about two feet of snow and I’d scraped it off so that was surrounding it, and then a plow pushed more behind it. My dad and brother cane and dug me out, and we rode with them to hang out. Aaron was very stoic in the car, and then started to fall asleep to the soothing sounds of Metallica.  He refused to nap in the pack and play at my mom’s and after hours of fighting me, fell asleep rocking in my arms while watching NCIS. I miss when he slept all the time on me so it was a sweet moment.

More Catch Up

Waving to a squirrel outside  He saw these dragons at Costco and gasped when I let him look at them. I almost got him them fro Christmas, but realized he wouldn't care about them once they were out of the box.  Daddy snuggles  His favorite thing is to take all his books out and read them all over the floor, crouched over them with his butt in the air.  Or he can get Grandma to read them to him. He takes the best selfies  He didn't want to sit on me to have his bottle, but he also didn't want to sit up or hold it himself. So laying on the pillow next to me was the best.  Uncle reads to him too All of out matching plaid!

Catch Up

Aaron woke up with his hair like this and I loved it so much, I left it up all day.  He loves his walks, even when it's chilly outside. And when I dress him horribly haha! He had a day where he was trying to pick everything up like a dog with his mouth after seeing Remi do it.  Aaron is my twin.  He loves his car walker He also loves brushing his teeth himself and siting in the sink. He's discovered the joys of pulling the toilet paper.  He outgrew his baby beanie and now wears an adult beanie. I loved this skeleton onesie I got from the secondhand store, but half the buttons were missing. He has a hard time when Daddy works from home because he wants to play with him. I was trying to entertain him in a different room and he threw a ball to me to get, then crawled off super fast in the opposite direction to get to daddy.  He and Remi fight over cheese from grandma whenever we're over.

Ice

My little cutie was playing and fell down on his new teeth and busted up his lip. It was so so sad. He was bleeding all over this shirt and me. I did my best to comfort him, but his lip just kept swelling up.  I tried to ice his lip, but he didn't want me to do it.  He was okay with Daddy doing it though. I'm so glad these two love each other.  Aaron wanted to hold the ice himself. After a goo thirty minutes, his lip looked much better.

Shoes

Well, now that Aaron is finally walking, it was time to get him some shoes so he could walk outside. I went with my mom and sat on the floor of Target with him, having no idea what I was doing. Aaron was much more interested in the Mickey Mouse underwear next to the shoes than shopping.  I couldn't feel his toes, so I kept putting bigger and bigger shoes on him. My mom finally suggested I hold his foot up to the bottom of the shoe to see how it was. His toes were only halfway through the shoe, no wonder I couldn't find them. I finally found a pair that I liked and that was that! WE took him outside for his first walk.  (Looking at these pictures I realize they aren't the shoes I bought, but the ones that were too small. Oh well.) He was so excited to walk outside.  He was not happy to have them on his feet at first though. I love how it looks like he's eating the ring in the background. More underwear joy.

Little Spy

Aaron loves to spy on what his grandpa is doing in his office. It's so cute. On the occasions that he goes in, he always makes sure to close the door behind him.
