Fall Fashions

One of my favorite things about fall? Breaking out the overalls!!!

Funny Little Boy...

Ok... guess what this little guy did today?

It was time for this cutie to get clean. Lately I have started taking him in the shower with me. He loves the water so we chill for a while, then he gets cleaned. After he's done, I wrap him up in a towel and lay him in the bouncer. Then I hop back in to clean myself. Usually, he just sits and talks to himself till I get out... but not today. Today he wiggled, and moved until he had uncovered himself. I stepped out of the shower just in time to see him smile and then start to pee... He shot himself in the face - right in the eye. I kept waiting for him to get startled and stop but he simply shut his eyes and kept going. I quickly covered him with a towel and what did he do? He licked his lips and smiled at me... What an odd duck. So I grabbed him and threw him back in the shower - head and all. He loved it. He just likes being wet I guess ... no matter where the water comes from!

Little Chatterbox

Aaron likes to talk - he kinda does it constantly, even in his sleep.

He likes to chat with Mama, Daddy, and with his favorite toy - the bug with eyes... This toy has eyes that he can look at and he loves it (it's the blue and orange one). He will sit and smile at the toy, play with the toy, and talk to the toy. It's adorable.

Standing... All By Himself

Aaron loves to stand. If he's fussy, he probably wants to stand up. He'll tug on your fingers till you raise them high enough for him to pull himself up. And if he has something to hold onto, he can stand with out your help!!!

The Wrong Drawer

Today while Aaron was sleeping I went looking for a shirt I wanted to wear. As I sifted through my drawers, I realized one of them was way over packed. I had noticed this before but being busy hadn't stopped to figure out a better solution. Since Aaron was napping I took the opportunity to start emptying the drawer.

As I went down I found several shirts; shirts that didn't belong in that drawer. I wondered to myself why did I put these here? It then occurred to me that... I wouldn't put them there... I didn't put them there.

Then it hit me. I rearrange my clothes so often to try and make more space that Eric can't keep up. But when he can, he tries to help out around the house (he does it especially when I'm out running errands so I come home to a surprise). He must have done the laundry for me and put things away where it seemed they would go (the drawer had other shirts in it... it wasn't a pants drawer or anything).

I love how even though he isn't sure on where things go, he still tries. He doesn't use it as an excuse to not do the laundry or not do the dishes (I rearrange those every once in a while too). He also doesn't just leave out piles of my clothes hoping I will put them away (when in reality I'll probably knock them off the bed to the floor when I'm tired and then the next day figure out they were clean...). He jumps right in to help!

Even though he's super busy, he still makes time to help me.

Love!

I Simply CANNOT get enough of this kid's smile!

Moving - Part 1

Moving is so close, I can taste it!

What? You didn't know we are moving? Well, here's the story... While we were in Oregon, Eric's dad approached him, suggesting that it would be advantageous for Eric to came out to Oregon sooner. So Eric rearranged his schedule (20.5 credits this semester) and we are moving out to Oregon around New Years.  The actual date is still up in the air, but our landlord has said we have to be out a few days before the new semester starts to make it easier for the people moving in. We are flying out at Thanksgiving, for Thanksgiving, and also to look at apartments and furniture so that we will be all set in December/January!

Eric and I have been talking about how to move... We have arrived at the conclusion of selling all of our furniture (minus the crib and rocking chair that I love) and shoving what we can into our 2 cars plus possibly his parents' van. This means we go through everything and figure out what we actually want to take with us...

This past Friday, we went through our shed. We went through every bin and took pictures of things we thought we could sell, bagged up things to take back to my parents (lawn equipment, etc.), placed things in a DI pile, and then reorganized; packing things in bins as tight as possible.

I made this bunny and dress in 8th grade.

I decided it wasn't something I wanted to take with us (gave it to the fam)

so Eric asked if he could take a picture of it.

My old roommate painted faces on our clocks...

 

Aaron was a trooper through all of this. :D
