These photos were taken at Mike's parents' house. We were visiting them and Mike's aunt and uncle who were in town. Aaron has a fetish with trying on other people's shoes, and Mike's uncle's cowboy boots were no exception. Aaron happened to be wearing a country-ish shirt. Throw the Western belt around him, and we've got a cowboy on our hands. Doesn't take much. ;)
I decided to write a little bit about Aaron while I have a few minutes - or days - before the baby appears. Today I was thinking about how wonderful the last 19 months have been - how I have LOVED spending this time with Aaron. And then it dawned on me that I still get many more years with him, although it won't be quite the same with his sidekick by his side. :) Here are a few memories as of late:
-Today we were searching for my cell phone (it's been missing for the past few days.) I recalled that Aaron was the last one who had it, so I asked him where the cell phone was. After a few minutes of searching, Aaron opened the cabinet doors beneath the sink and retrieved the phone. I couldn't believe he remembered he hid it there! I never would have checked there. Good thing he did!
- Aaron's been really cute about giving hugs lately. He's especially fond of hugging his dad. Last night when Mike came home from work, he asked Aaron for a hug. Not only did Aaron give him a hug, but he kept going back and giving him hug after hug, for a total of probably about 10 hugs. He sure loves his daddy!
- Yesterday he said 'baby' for the first time. I wonder if he senses something ...
It's just been so fun to witness all the amazing stages of this child's life. I wouldn't trade this job for the world. Check back with me when I'm juggling two under 2 ... ;)

OH, you're so close. Aaron is such a cutie. Love the cowboy attire. I haven't seen him in so long, since he was a baby. It will be wonderful to see him as a toddler and your new baby when you come at Christmas. I hope so! May your delivery go by quickly and your new one be healthy! Love ya!
he is so sweet and will be a fantastic big brother! i can't believe it's almost time for you to have your little one!! it's going to be awesome, you'll see!
I love the cowboy boots.
Although he doesn't look to bad in heels either ;)
Thanks for sharing the sweet memories of Aaron. We can't wait to finally meet the new baby.
2 under 2 will be a piece of cake for you!! I think it was harder going from 0 to 1 than it was going from 1 to 2. Good luck and I can't wait to hear how everything goes. Love you :)
p.s. thanks for sharing the precious moments! It's so good to get them in writing because you think you'll remember but you won't :(
I was checking in because I knew you were getting really close to having your baby! Enjoy the last few days with your "Cowboy" - it will definitely be different.. but he will mature so much it will be crazy! Two boys are so much fun!
I am so glad to see these darling pictures and to hear about what Aaron is up to! I hope everything goes well as you welcome your new baby to your wonderful family!
I have been thinking about you and how you are doing. It's almost time for #2. What a sweet boy you have-Aaron is looking more grown up-BIG BROTHER! Can't wait to see #2. Take care and please let us know when he arrives.
