Grammy and Grandpa's House

We are so blessed to have such amazing grandparents for Aaron! He has 3 sets of grandparents and they have helped us so much since Aaron was born. Aaron spends a lot of time at the Colburn's. They babysit pretty regularly and we can't imagine not having them here.

One of his favorite things to do at Grammy and Grandpa's is to get a bath in the kitchen sink. Our sink at home is too small, so it's always a treat to get a bath with Grammy!




He also loves to swing in their backyard! We dont' have any trees in our yard, so we were so thrilled when they got a swing just for Aaron. He loves it!!




9 Months Old

9 Month Stats
Height: 32 inches
Weight: 27.6 lbs
It just keeps getting more and more fun. At 9 months old, Aaron has really become such an amazing little man. As you can see by his stats, he is the size of an average 18 month old! He has begun to form an opinion about things. If he drops a toy sometimes he cries for it and sometimes he just looks at the toy and then at us to see if we are going to get it for him. He has mastered clapping his hands together and will "patty cake" on demand. Although sometimes he just claps for the fun of the sound it makes. He has learned to wave "bye-bye", but sometimes he is a little delayed. He gets scared easily by loud noises. Occasionally he will cry when something startles him. He is becoming more and more social, but we've noticed that he usually takes a few minutes to warm up to people. He likes to sit back and observe others...he watches very intensely. He will sit and watch a cartoon for several minutes, but loses interest quickly. He is still the most laid-back and happy baby. Everyday is an adventure and it is so much fun to watch him learn and grow. What a blessing he is.



Aaron loves to swing!!
Nana pushing Aaron!

So we tried to all wear our John Deere green shirts for Saint Patrick's Day...but Aaron had other plans. On the way to the park...we had a big messy diaper and had to change outfits!! So much for matchy matchy day!

Aaron loves to be outside and to play with the grass.



Aaron is usually very patient while we make his meals. He loves to play with his toy airplane!

He still loves his roundy-round! Although we're pretty sure he's too big for it, we still let him play!
Surrounded by his favorite toys!

Love this picture! It's rare that we got out to eat with Aaron, so this particular day was special. We went to Cheddars (one of our favs) and the boys looked so cute in their polo shirts!

 

At the end of the day Aaron has one last bottle before bed-time. Jarrett almost always gives it to him and then they play in the chair. It's always a sweet little time before bed.
