Firsts


Aaron at 7 1/2 months old. Today someone asked me if he was 13 months! (It was a guy. Bless his heart!) ;)

This is such an awesome stage!!! Aaron is totally laughing, smiling like crazy, baby talking, crawling (just started), sitting up on his own, and filling our lives with so much happiness. When Aaron saw Mike this morning, he brimmed with happiness (as usual) and said, "da da." His first words? Probably just more babbling, but we like to think he knows who we are. :)

So I'm a little excited about these "firsts." I can't help it! Experiencing them for the first time as a new mama is so wonderfully exciting! Now I totally understand the specialness of "firsts."

Jim would be so jealous if he knew Aaron said da da. Kate says lots of things, but not da da! We are coaching her to say it!

Aaron is crawling? That's great. Time to baby proof! Kate tries to crawl and just turns over. It makes me laugh!

I think 7-13 months is really fun--then they start to have minds of their own. The months following those are still fun, but not as carefree. Savor the moments!

I think Aaron is lucky to have the two of you to make sure his firsts are noticed and enjoyed!

Aaron is such a cutie pie! We sure miss him out here in Roseburg but thank goodness for this blog to be able to watch him grow!
