These are a few of my favorite things

Aaron is no longer a baby. He is officially a toddler now that he is walking all over the place and he constantly throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. We try very hard not to give into those tantrums.

I thought I would share with you a few things that Aaron loves:

For starters, the following picture shows three of his favorite things.
1) his green blanket, yes, Aaron has a favorite blanket. He is always dragging this blanket everywhere eand he has a hard time sleeping without it. It is always hard to take it from him just so we have can wash it.
2.) Elmo - This is another thing Aaron can't seem to sleep without and he loves taking Elmo everywhere with him.
3.) How do I get a 14month old to sit so still like that for a picture? Well he is watching his favorite baby Einstein show, "Baby Noah".


Did I mention Aaron loves Elmo? Sometimes when he wants to walk around the apartment he needs both hands to explore so Elmo is held by his mouth. Even as I write this Aaron is exploring the kitchen with Elmo in his mouth. I think it is funny when he holds him by the eye.


Walking is Aaron's new favorite activity. He loves it so much that he could spend hours just walking around the apartment. Crawling is definitely a thing of the past. The only time Aaron crawls is when he falls down he can't get back up all by himself. So he crawls to the nearest wall or furniture to help him get back up. This picture is funny because he got a straw from a restaurant and he kept it in his mouth all night just chewing on it.


And last but not least, Aaron loves bath time. Once he hears the bath water running he can hardly sit still for me to undress him. Then once I do get him undress he immediately goes into the bathroom and tries to climb in himself. He always has a smile on his face when he is in the bathtub.

He is so cute! That is so funny that he just walks around and loves to explore the apartment. Lance is starting to take a few steps, and I am so excited for him to really start walking!!! Lance also loves bath time. I don't know if Aaron likes balls, but I just bought Lance a little basketball hoop the goes in the bathtub with 3 balls, and it was on clearance at Walmart for $5. It is so fun. Also, I think it is so cute that he loves his blankie and Elmo. Lance isn't really attached to anything. Is Aaron still on a binkie - at night? Lance just has it at night, and I am so scared to take it away!
