Aaron 11 Months

Aaron is 11 months old

If I had to sum this adorable kid up using one word, it would be inquisitive.

He has to see, touch, eat, smell everything he sees. 

Unless he is sleeping, he is on the move.  He is very busy and rarely sits in one spot for long. 

He has 4 teeth (2 on top, 2 on bottom)

Sleeps through the night

Loves his binky and blanket

Waves goodbye

Crawls with legs straight, and his bum straight up in the air.

Says: Nana, Dada, Mama

 He has mastered stairs, he can go up and down.

You are by far my hardest child, but I love you to pieces.

Kate is 6

This adorable girl is 6.  She got to celebrate her birthday in Utah with lots of family.  

Weight:  45 lbs

Height: 44 inches

You are a joy to be around.  You are always looking for ways to make things fun.  You love to laugh and play.  You do not love doing chores.  Once you make up your mind you won't change.  A lot of times when I try to threaten you with an extra chore, you say I want to do an extra chore, and walk off and go play.  Your way of thinking blows my mind, but I am so glad you think about things, and decide what you want.  I love you to pieces.  I love your smile, laugh and silly ways.  I also love that you can fall asleep anywhere.  When you are tired, you just go to sleep.

Kate is growing

April has been a busy month for this girl.  She lost her first tooth.

She learned how to tie her shoes:

She also learned to ride a bike with no training wheels.

Aaron 8 Months

Aaron is 8 months.

He weighs 17 lbs

You have changed so much this month.

You can now:

sit up un-assisted

crawl from room to room

eat food

have 2 teeth

  

 You are always picking stuff off the ground and putting it in your mouth:

 You are so interested in your surroundings.  You always are looking around, not interested in me or the fact that I just want you to look at me for 2 seconds so I can get a good picture.

You don't love being held.  You would prefer to be down on the ground exploring.

Parker's sweet note

 The other day Kate broke a glow stick, and it's contents squirted into my eye.  It hurt so stinkn' bad.  I had to flush my eye out for 15 minutes before I could see again.  Parker wrote me this note:

Miracle of Miracles'

 At 7 1/2 months Aaron will finally eat food.  Up until today he has absolutely refused to eat it.

 On a side note, this kids loves trips to the park,

 especially when his siblings come along:

It's always fun when grandpa comes

WWWhen my parents come to visit my dad always wants a project to work on.  The kids favorite project of his, was the slide attached to our deck:

 

 We also got to enjoy the beach while they were here:

 Just sitting around the house was fun too:
