Happy Birthday, Baby!

Aaron's birthday was Friday--what a year it has been! Aaron is currently sporting the "ultimate fighting champion" look...he falls at least 20 times a day and his face is pretty banged up. He climbs on EVERYTHING, and is so fast that we can barely keep up with him. He is really working hard on his babbling, and can say "mama," "dada," and a few phrases that sound like "all done," "bye-bye," and "nigh-night."  He has seven teeth, four on top and three on the bottom. He enjoys feeding himself, but is still learning to not throw food over the side of his tray. He adores his big brothers (the feeling is mutual) and we can't wait to see him start to play more with them as he gets bigger!

Aaron celebrated his birthday all week with a visit from Grandma before his birthday, cupcakes on his birthday, and a small family party today:

 Thanks for all the clothes, Grandma!

 Bath time! Everybody loves a clean birthday boy!

 Today I am one year old!

 Aaron loves to clap, and will show off his clapping skills anytime he hears somebody say "Yay!" or "Good job!"

 Birthday bruise on his left cheek. He danced himself right off a chair. :(

 Oooh...cupcake!

 For a minute it looked like he might actually blow out the candle.

 Birthday party day!

 Awesome new football!

 Cake time! Thanks, godparents!

 Our baby is growing up!
