fears!!"

off into the middle of the pool and was able to swim all the way back to the

need to have a sister next not a brother."

Aaron learned how to give a thumbs up. At first he would stick his thumb and pointer finger out, but after a while he figured out how to only stick out his thumb. Now, if I ever ask him how's he's doing or sometimes if he's sees us looking at him, he'll give us a thumbs up.

I think you do. I want it to be fancier."

Within the last month, Aaron has learned a new face to make while charging Daddy to wrestle with him. He will tip his head down and look at John with an intense face that looks like him imitating a bull getting ready to charge. It is so cute! (although also a little creepy in picture form... lol.)
