Aaron and his "Leap pad"

This video is quite funny, Aaron tries the Leap pad pen on himself...he really was listening to what was being said

Hooray for learning toys!

Surprise!

Christmas day was my 30th Birthday...yikes. I was completely floored, Matt managed to throw me a surprise party on Christmas day...the most amazing part is....people came!

Here I am trying to blow out 30 candles with my poor squished preggo lungs... :)

Aaron seeing the tree with gifts...and helping himself...he knows what to do! Our Tree . This was our first Christmas at home. Because we are so close to our due date we are not allowed to travel. It was nice being home, but very different.
Hmm, what's this? George!Aaron wanted everything out of the box right away. This car actually had a screw holding it in its box! Aaron tries on his new Thomas backpackDaisy looks on Squires enjoys their new couch By the end, Aaron was pooped

3D ultra sound video

Matt surprised me...and today we had 3D ultrasound and video taken of our Baby...pretty amazing

Baby 2 was difficult to image today because of how he was positioned. He is head down like he is supposed to be but was facing towards the back of me. We had to try and encourage him to turn towards the "camera". The umbilical cord, his hand and arm were up by his face as well, which made it difficult as well to achieve unobstructed images. But none the less...a number came out pretty well. :)

You can really see the cord in this one

Do you see his little hand under his chin?

Aaron's first Christmas program!

This is the back of Aaron as he came out on stage. He was an angel. (The pictures, as you can see didn't come out that great)

Aaron clapping with the audience...the little boy sitting next to him cried the whole time

Aaron sitting in my lap after his part in the show

(We have video on our video camera...Matt stood in the back with the rest of the dads and videoed, it was like a right of passage. I will now have to figure out how to get it off the camera on the computer...so there will be video to come!)

Oh, Christmas Tree....oh, Chirstmas Tree

Aaron fell asleep 5 minutes before the Christmas tree farm...which made for a cross Aaron when we woke him up to go hunt for a tree...oh well.

Earlier that morning we got a dusting of snow, which put us in the Christmas mood

Aaron did perk up when he saw other people's dogs running around...here he is watching them

He wasn't really in to pictures this time...shucks, no family pictures at the tree farm

Daddy has done it again!

Aaron supervises as Daddy puts the tree into the van

The nursery...with furniture

The story of the bunk bed

Once we received the bunk bed in the mail...we took apart the toddler bed to be placed in the nursery. Once we had it together in the nursery Matt opened the boxes to the bunk bed to discover they had sent two different colors (honey and oak). Moral of the story...check the boxes first!

So, Aaron slept on his new twin mattress on the floor for just over a week. Aaron liked the mattress on the floor...easy to jump on!

Once we had all the right colors...Dan and Jen came over to help put the bed together...it took two nights because our drill died. So Aaron slept on the floor on his mattress in the bunk bed frame (I wish I had gotten a picture of that). Dan brought his drill the second evening and the bed flew together!
