Say "cheese"!The other day I was doing my make-up while sitting on the floor. Aaron loves to hang out with me while I do this and get into my make-up bag. Well out of the corner of my eye I noticed him getting up. I looked over and the kid had stood up all by himself and stood there for about 10 sec. Aaron is not walking yet but he is certainly capable if he wasn't so scared of falling. I will give him one finger to hold on to and he will walk around. The second I pull my finger away he will drop to the ground. So the fact that he stood up all by himself was amazing to me.
Aaron has learned a new word. He used to say "mama" and daddy" but he really doesn't say those as much but he loves to say "hi" to everyone and everything(toys) he sees. Now he loves to say "ball". He absolutely loves to play with balls. So now whenever he wants to play with his ball he will say "bawl". It is really cute. He is constantly saying the baba sound so it wasn't a huge surprise that ball was his next word. Although it is pretty exciting that he knows what it means.
We have been trying to get him to clap his hands for months. We would clap our hands and then I would put his hands together and help him clap his hands but for a while when he wanted to clap his hands he would just pat his belly with both hands. Then one random day I was feeding him lunch and he put his hands together and started clapping. He loves to clap all the time. It makes him happy. I happened to have the camera near by for when he figured out how to clap. I was also trying to get him to show off his other trick of singing with me Old McDonald. He keeps singing "eieieiei" still hasn't figured out the "o" but it is still cute. I am sorry if you have to hear me sing. :)
Other things that he is progressing on is when he is playing with his wooden A,B,C blocks. We usually stack them and he comes and knocks it over. Now he is stacking the blocks. The most he has done on his own is 6 blocks. We would have taken a picture but then he knocks it over. He also has stacking cups that he is starting to stack as well. It is pretty cute watching him try to figure it out.
Last night was a lot of fun. Aaron put his lips together and tried to spit. Then I copied him and he thought it was hilarious. I did it again and again and he was laughing harder than I have ever heard him laugh. It was so funny and cute that both Eric and I had tears of laughter in our eyes. This boy is no longer a baby, he is a toddler.
A couple of weeks ago Aaron got his 1st year immunization shots. One of the shots was the MMR. They told us that he might be running a fever but we weren't expecting him to react like this. He was miserable for days with a fever and then a rash that covers his head and his body.
Cuddling with mom because he doesn't feel very good. :( Poor guy!

I'm not sure what is worse, when kids learn to walk early, or after they're a year old... Both of our kids learned to walk at 10 months, and were then into everything in the house early. Just start all the toddler-proofing now! He's so cute!
It looks like Aaron did get the measles from his shot.
Isn't is fun being a parent and getting so excited at the simplest things?
I never had an immunization reaction like that. Wow!
Aaron is getting so big!
Angela,that was so fun to read. Aaron is doing GREAT! That is so exciting he stood up and his words and stacking and clapping. He is such a little cutie. Oh my goodness, that rash is awful, poor guy. Lance just got his shot two days ago, cause we were in WA this summer and just got back. So I will find out in 2 weeks if he gets the rash as well but I sure hope not cause that looks so painful.
That was the cutest video with Aaron singing with you. Those are some cool tricks, I am going to have to teach Alex.
I didnt get Levi immunized until after he was 4. It is soo scary what can happen to them and they are so little, Sure hope Aaron is feeling better!
