10 months old

Aaron is ten months old today! I can't believe it. His personality is really starting to reveal itself. He loves to be tickled and can really get to laughing when we tickle him. He is officially crawling now, but has not yet realized this means he has full access to the house! Of course this also means he has started the bumping his head/forehead stage. He still loves to clap and now he waves. He waves at everyone, multiple times, even if they aren't looking. And I'm pretty sure he says "hi" because he opens his mouth real wide and makes the 'h' sound over and over.



He surprised us all when he discovered the slide and decided to climb it.




He pulls himself up to stand on anything he can manage, but gets frustrated when he can't sit back down.


He thinks its fun to crawl under our computer desk to get the papers or cords (he loves any kind of cord). He actually laughs when we catch him under there.


He has four teeth now, but does not eat. He does not like baby cereal (any flavor or brand). He is not a fan of any type of baby food (he gags then seals his lips tightly). I have tried our food mashed up, but even that he won't really go for. The one thing he does seem to like is baked beans...well the juice/sauce that the beans are in. Of course he is still nursing like a champ. Well, obviously at 23+ pounds!!


He loves his jumper and does his best to get his feet off the ground.


He was diagnosed with asthma, so he does breathing treatments every so often. At first he hated the mask so we did it while sleeping, but then he got used to it. He keeps his mouth open the entire time as if he is in awe of the cool mist that he is inhaling.


He graduated to the big bath tub, which means he and Emmie can do baths together. She is thrilled...then again so is he. He loves to splash!


Jay calls him "bigs" and the kids call him "chub" - wonder why?


He loves to sit in the driver's seat with Daddy and play with the steering wheel.

It is so fun to watch him explore his world. The best part is watching him with his older siblings. He adores them! They help so much with him and there are literally times when they fight over him. We are so blessed!

Had to stop by & play catch up cause like you, my life is fully blessed & time isn't always on my side :)
Your little guy is getting so big! & handsome for sure. I loved your post on Reminding your self of your blessings. Something I grasp often to be grounded once again. I wanted to say sorry for being a no show at the Moms night out..My husbands grandpa passed away earlier in the day & he was having a really hard time with it. I for sure couldn't leave him. Hope you remember me for the next time around or for any gatherings. Lord's willing we'll be able to head back to CBS come fall too. Missing everyone :\
