Le smorfie di Aaron

Aaron's new thing is that he makes this squinty smile that is really quite cheesy. Today he was doing a lot for me while I fed him some applesauce.
Laughing his head off while I made airplane noises and crashing noises as the food went in his mouth.
So much fun this little one.

There's not a lot new with us. We were really glad when Paolo came back from his little trip to Italy. We're plannin on moving this Saturday. We'll put in our new address when we post pictures of it. Julie is going to change jobs. She's moving down to Intermountain Medical Center (new hospital in Murray) because it's closer to our new house. She'll still be in the ER. That's all for now.

New House

Aaron is about to hit 15 months. I used to think that he'd get into a lot of things that he shouldn't, but it keeps getting worse. His new love is under the kitchen sink and getting into the garbage can. More than once have I found stuff from the garbage in his mouth. Yuck! Aaron wanted to come sit down inside after taking out the garbage. I love my little guy!

We just bought a new house in Taylorsville. We'll have pictures and the new address to come in a later post. Paolo just went back to Italy for 10 days and took the camera with him. We're not moving until after he comes back. We're really excited to have a place of our own with a yard!

Little monkey

We borrowed this monkey outfit from my friend Marian. She used it last Halloween for one of her little boys. We put it on Aaron at her house and he kept looking at himself in the mirror. So she let us take it home to use for a little while. I realize that it's too early for Halloween, but he was so cute, I couldn't wait to put it on him again!

Aaron loves to eat by himself, even though most of the food doesn't make it to his mouth, and the spoon is more a toy than anything else. The other day he was eating some applesauce and started picking up the spoon with his mouth and eating with his hands. I thought it was funny, so here's a little clip.

boys are fun

Boys are so much fun. Aaron loves to bang things and make noise. Lately he loves wrestling, especially with his dad. He loves to get on the bed and be knocked down a bunch of times. He loves to do it on the couch too. He's also really gotten into balls. He loves throwing them around and then chasing after them. It's an added bonus so that I can some things done around the house. :) In the picture above you can see that Aaron likes to sit on dad's shoulders and then get thrown off onto the bed.
There's nothing greater than Aaron's smile and laugh. I love my little boy to death!

First Haircut

Questo e` il primo taglio di capelli per Aaron. I capelli diventavano lunghi didietro, e quindi gliel'ho tagliati io. Stava abbastanza buono, solo perche gli ho dato un dolce da mangiare.
Siamo andati alla miniera aperta piu grande del mondo che sono 30 minuti da casa nostra. Siccome e` molto in alto, tira tanto vento (che si vede dalle foto).
Questa e` una gomma che usano sulle macchine piu grandi che hanno.
Scolapasta ciccio. Gli piace girare nella casa con le cose di cucina. Questa volta si e` messo un testa la scolapasta.

Ciccio Pasta

I've been trying to let Aaron eat some on his own while I feed him. I've found that he eats more that way, and slowly he learns how to feed himself. Despite the fact that he eats a lot with his hands, he does use the spoon, kind of.
I love Aaron's new smile because he shows all 8 teeth.
Aaron has the curious habit of going and picking off the very few green tomatoes that I have on my plants and eating them. This is him trying to ingest it in one bite before I can stop him.
Aaron with my grandpa Wilson. I'd have put Grandma on here too, but the picture didn't turn out that great. Next time. I have to say that I love my grandparents and that I love going and seeing them.

Mr. Mischief

Our neighbor upstairs has a 6 month old. They came out to share warm, home made cookies, so I let Aaron have one. He really enjoyed it.
And then he stole the other kid's toy and started chewing on it.

Aaron is good at getting into things that hygenically speaking it would be better if he didn't. I VERY narrowly got a potatoe bug out of his mouth before it died. Yesterday he thought it would be great fun to eat the dirt out of my potted plants. He didn't even flinch at eating it. We had moved the toilet paper onto the counter for that very reason. What we didn't realize is that he is now tall enough to reach it on the counter. The result is what you see in the video.
