Aaron's Home!!!!!

Aaron came home last night from his 4 month deployment in Kyrgyzstan last night! Aeraci and I were able to meet him at the plane . We went out to the flightline with our ear protection, and to my surprise Aeraci kept hers on! She also carried a little flag she held proudly. When we saw daddy she was so excited!! She did not hesitate going to him, though she was quiet as a mouse. It is so good to have Aaron home.

Today Aeraci is following daddy around as if she was his shadow. Her verbal skills have suddenly reappeared as she walks around saying "daddy", "daddy". After 4 months, we are finally reunited as a family:)

Pee Pee in the Potty!

Today Aeraci went pee pee in the potty for the first time!!!! Yay! She also went poo poo. It's hard to believe my little girl is growing up. She is very excited about the potty and usually tells me when she has to go. We started wearing big girl training pants today, so we'll see how that goes. We went to Target today and Aeraci got to pick out her "potty toy". She got a new toy laptop that she is very excited about.

Aeraci's Swimming Lessons

During this past month, Aeraci has been taking a swimming class with mommy. She loves it! Aeraci is like a fish in water, she loves to splash, swim, float, and play in the water. We look forward to swim lessons every week.

When she's not in the water, Aeraci loves to roam around the house with her shopping cart, cuddle her baby doll, build with her legos and give mommy lot's of kisses.

It's a Boy

It's official, we are having a baby boy! I'm 20 weeks now and the ultra-sound confirmed that there is no doubt we are having a baby boy this summer. This means lot's of shopping for clothes! Aeraci's loves babies and her new word is "brother".

Winter Wonderland

Helping mom clean the house

We have been trapped in the house most of the last week because we have had two blizzards grace us with more than 3 feet of snow!!! School was cancelled all week, so now we are adding day onto the summer. I have enjoyed the extra time with Aeraci. We have been fingerpainting, making rice krispy treats, coloring and playing in the snow. Being locked in the house has also given me the opportunity to get some projects done that have been on the back burner.

Noodles

I took this video the other day of Aeraci slurping up noodles. We made pasta, and Aeraci loved it. She could not get enough noodles. She slurps them up as quick as she can get them.

This past weekend we got about 6 inches of snow, and that's Aeraci's new word "know", she has a hard time with the "s". She loves playing in it, and feeling the cold on her face, though she confuses cold with "hot".

Blowing Kisses

Aeraci's always giving hugs and kisses sthat make my day. Here is a video clip of her blowing kisses!
