Cute kid

This is Aaron taking his nap today. He put his hand under the crib bumper and was cuddling it against his face while he was sleeping. It was really cute. From this angle you can only see his hand, but he's holding it while he sleeps.
We've started doing "tummy time" a few times a day, and Aaron's getting a lot stronger because of it. Sometimes he screams and sometimes he smiles at me. The picture below was a smiling moment.
Aaron's able to grab things and pull them towards his mouth. Some of his favorite items include my fingers, and the toys from the baby bouncer. The only problem is that he still lack coordination. This morning while pulling on the toy that makes the bird swirl and the music play (on the baby bouncer), he decided that it would be best put to use in his mouth instead of merely to make music. The only problem is that the toy was made to be pulled down and not stretch as far as his mouth. So he pulls it, and it arrives just short of his mouth. He has his mouth wide open and he's looking anxiously, almost desperately at it like why isn't going in his mouth. After about a minute of pulling it close to his mouth he decided to pull it as close as he could, and then shove his free hand into his mouth. Apparently it did the job for him. He'd look at the toy and chew on his hand.

The other funny news (all of this happening by about 8 am) is that while drying Aaron off after his bath, he had his first major blow out. The only problem is that he was laying on his stomach, on the towel, with no diaper on. It went everywhere! So I did my best to clean him off with some wipes. I had to put him back into the bath and get a new towel. Way to go Aaron! Trying to hand wash out baby put stains is not an easy task.
