18 months!

almost always happy!

always busy doing something!

sweet boy playing outside!

Wow I can't believe Aaron is 18 months old now! He is getting soo big and is soo much fun! The past month has been one of relaxing as Aaron has been battling a cold. We hadn't gone to church in 2 weeks so it was a rough time adjusting when we went back! He knows how to make Momma feel good and cries when I leave but calms down quickly and plays the whole time he is there! I hope he is a nice boy to the other kids! He can get kind of rough sometimes! We have been enjoying some amazing warm weather! Aaron LOVES to be outside all the time and hates when we have to go back inside! He is discovering more aspects of playing outside. He digs in the dirt throws balls around, kicks them and gets in and out of his car. It is always an entertaining time while outside!
Last weekend Aaron and I rented a car and drove to Alabama. Daddy had to work so we decided to go for a visit. We made it safely to Nana and Papa's house on Friday and we played and had a fun time! We worked some on Nana's bathroom and enjoyed lots of walks outside. Aaron liked that he could just walk around the streets and not have to worry about the traffic that we have in front of our house! We missed Daddy and came home Saturday evening so we could see him!
Aaron is trying to tell us more words. He used to say yeah all the time and now is throwing a yes and yep in there. He accents the 'ssss' or the 'ppp' its funny! He also is saying ball often and juice occasionally pops out ( especially now that he gets to have Papa's special recipe of juice! thanks Papa! ). He still LOVES Delilah and any animal is a delilah. One of his favorite toys is a flashlight and he now is saying 'lala.' We are working on getting more words out of him every day. He will say something one time and we try to coax it out of him again but he clams up. He has been signing milk and more, more frequently so he is communicating in his own way! :) He loves to sing all the time and frequently hums along.
There are many other skills he is improving on too. He colors pictures frequently. He is starting to run around. He tries to jump, he walks in circles- backwards mostly. He is staring to climb on more things too.
We have enjoyed the past 18 months and can't wait to see what new things he will do or say tomorrow!
