Aaron's Blog

Can’t believe Aaron is a year old on Friday, already! Where has the time gone and what happened to our baby?

Well, it appears he is growing up, way too fast for my liking!

He is getting steadier and steadier on his feet now and quite happily makes his way around the room holding on to the furniture. Once he has a bit more confidence he will be taking steps on his own, i don’t think it will be long! He still has no interest in crawling but can sit himself up from laying down and somehow bottom shuffles along the floor to get to where he wants to go. He has also started to venture up the stairs now, so we have to keep a real eye on him.

He cut his two top teeth last week, one on 24th and one on 27th April, so that now makes four! We were hoping this may have helped him settle and sleep better, but no such luck. Obviously his brain and developmental skills are making him restless, which is not so much fun for us! Hopefully we will get a good nights sleep soon.

Aaron is learning lots of things and seems to pick them up quite quickly. The other night Ben was going up to bed and came and gave me a kiss goodnight. Straight after, Aaron walked over to me (holding on to the sofa) and planted an open mouthed very wet and sloppy kiss right on my mouth, very sweet and it made my day! He also knows how to cuddle and squeeze.

Aaron also likes to pretend to play the Wii, he always makes his way over to the controllers, picks them up and waves them around whilst making a whooshing sort of noise, hehe.

He is very very cheeky!
