Learning to Share

We are fortunate that Aaron has been born at a time when there are several other babies nearby who are within a few months to a couple of years as old as he. We're enjoying being at a stage where he can start to interact with them. McKinsey did suffer a slight hair pulling and rough housing by Aaron but overall he did well playing with her. We are working on being gentle with girls as well as kitty!

FINALLY!!!

Matt has been diligently trying to get Aaron to say "Dada" since birth. Precious, of course, won out without even trying. Nonetheless, Matt is thrilled that yesterday morning when he came up the stairs Aaron greeted him with a very cheerful wave, "Hi Dada", and then clapped--couldn't be any clearer!

Pumpkin Patch

Aaron loves the feel of pumpkins and we found out last night that he also loves eating the pumpkin squares that he watched mama bake!

Cake Walk

Aaron did a cake walk by pushing a stool to keep his balance!

Aaron's First Fall Festival

We are fortunate to be in the circle of sharing clothes around here and this included a costume for Aaron! Matt was hoping it would bring candy our way but apparently the adults saw through and we went home empty-handed! We don't have to deal with the question of how to celebrate Halloween....we don't get trick or treaters and Matt is "on duty" at the church! But as Aaron grows we will be sure to explain to him that it is also Reformation Day and Martin Luther's bold action is something to celebrate!
