Happy Birthday Aaron!!

July 14, 2011--Aaron turns ONE!!

What an amazing and blessed year we have had. God truly gave us the most unbelievable gift when He gave us Aaron. He is the sweetest little boy and it has been the biggest thrill to watch him grow. Jarrett and I say all the time, how undeserving we feel to get to be his parents. It's hard to believe he's already 1 and growing so fast everyday. He has changed so much and it just gets better and better. Happy Birthday to sweet Aaron Matthew! We can't wait to see what the next year will hold.

1 Year Stats: 28lbs, 13oz and 33 1/2 inches ( he's off the charts in height...again)

 

Right now Aaron is cruising everywhere and is really close to walking on his own. He loves to be moving and hates to be confined or restricted! He will say “bye-bye” and wave when we prompt him. He will also say “uh-oh” when he drops something. He has yet to say Mama or Dada L He can make the sounds, but has no association of what they mean. He will chase his red ball when we tell him to find it. He loves any toy that makes noise and lights up! We’ve started brushing his teeth and he seems to like it! He is eating 3 meals a day with an afternoon snack. He eats just about anything! He hasn’t mastered every table food yet, but he loves to eat! He loves mandarin oranges, pears, cheese, avocados, green beans, carrots, peas, chicken nuggets, meatballs, pasta, fish, birthday cupcakes, ice cream, applesauce, yogurt, oatmeal, peanut butter and so much more. The only food that he doesn’t seem to like is scrambled eggs! He likes to watch Yo Gabba Gabba and Sesame Street and will actually sit still to watch for a little bit.

My Mom and I did an impromptu photo shoot of Aaron for his first birthday. We used her backyard and a few flowers. It was 100+ degrees out..so we were thrilled to actually get any good shots!
