Aaron hasn't quite mastered the technique...he keeps his mouth open the whole time. We've gotten some slobbers and bruises (thanks to the teeth) but it's still so sweet!

Learning to pet
Hannah has been a great "trainer" for Aaron to learn to be gentle while petting. Precious has been surprisingly tolerant of his pulling but we don't trust her like we do Hannah!
Helping Pack
Recently we took our first long road trip with Aaron to visit a friend in PA and family along the way. Aaron did beautifully...of course it helped that we were treated by his grandparents to a Toyota Highlander so we could ride in comfort, safety, and style! People often comment on how expensive kids are (and they're right!) but we have found that Aaron has brought lots of good things our way because so many people are so quick to share! The best part of the trip for Mama was that Aaron decided he was done with breastfeeding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I also found out around the same time that I have a Vitamin D deficiency which probably was one of the multiple factors that contributed to our issues with going "natural". From early on this is one of many areas we're having to do the best we have with what we got instead of hitting our ideal. What a peace to know we have a Sovereign Father who fills in those gaps for His purposes!

A View From the Throne
Over the years I have periodically heard moms comment on how there is NO more privacy...well this snapshot about sums it up! Even Precious came and got in line for the show!
Staying Cool
Aaron FINALLY had a chance to swim in the sun...the summer has been so wet and mild and busy that it took till the middle of August! We enjoyed an afternoon with friends from church and sharing another precious moment in Aaron's life with them. Ever since he was "announced" I have enjoyed the warmth and caring and involvement of this community in his life. Especially in the absence of our own families (due to excruciating distances), it's a very dear thing to have this "extended" family to share this special time of our family life.
