--By the end of May Aaron started drinking whole milk. By the second week of June, he has started drinking from sippy's! So much easier than with Nathan. I threw Aaron's bottles away within one day. He had no problems of letting go of the bottle. Yay!
--As it is, we only let him have his paci when he sleeps. We hope this will help down the road with weaning, when that day comes. He's a pretty good sport about that too.
--Loves to play Peek-A-Boo!
--...and loves to play musical chairs. Exhibit A, B and C below :
Thankfully he also knows how to properly get off of them, too!
--Can independently open our food cabinet for a snack and just today started to open and shut doors with the handle.
Our sneaky little bear
--Loves bathtime, especially if big brother is involved. Then it becomes splish-splash time!
--In a transition stage with naps. One day he's good with one, the next he would have preferred two...we're trying to decide which way to go :) I'm hoping we can get him to one...I think it would be nice to have quality time together in the mornings when Nate starts school (in the AM) soon.
--Is walking about 80% of the time now! Really that's only been within the last week. I'm actually relieved that he's coming out of the crawling stage.
--Stuffed animals and blanket must be removed from his crib at all times before he can sleep :) We always know what he's up to the first few minutes we leave the room. Also, the Waterfall sound machine must be on at all times!
--Generally, he loves to play. Big brother is a particular favorite playmate, but that doesn't always work out. Usually leaving the two of them alone erupts in Aaron crying and Nate telling Aaron he can't have a toy. I was blessed last week to have a full hour of just hearing giggles and no crying!
--Loves booktime as much as Nate. Touch and feel books are what he's into right now.
--Enjoys cuddling. I love when I sit on the floor, criss cross applesauce, he comes right over and plops in our lap. Everytime. Sometimes he'll even bring a book with him. One of his favorite places to be.
--Just started to wave "hello" and "goodbye". He's trying hard to say "bye", and within the last month has started to say "dada".
--While he loves bathwater, he's still trying to get used to pool water. Eh...work in progress.
Aaron is such a sweet, mild mannered, chill, go with the flow kind of dude. Mommy digs it! :) Suddenly this last week I've gotten all sorts of compliments on his behavior when we're out, it's been rather nice. Mommy's sweetheart for sure! <3
