7 Month Old Update

Grandma and Grandpa Bender sent Aaron these cute P.J.'s. They glow in the dark -- which puzzeled me a little at 6 A.M. They are so cute!

We had to lower the mattress in Aaron's crib a few weeks ago because we were afraid he would start standing up after his naps. These next two pictures are so cute! The first one he is tired and it was still dark in his room. The second one he is more awake because I had been talking and singing to him.

Aaron began crawling at the end of August. He now crawls everywhere! He is so fast -- he really keeps me on my toes.

Aaron has also started standing next to furniture and walking along it. However, he has not mastered the art of getting down. He just falls on his bottom. Thank heavens for padding! In this picture you can see a little bruise on his thigh.

Nick put Aaron in the laundry basket. He didn't care to stay in there very long. He would rather crawl around and explore.

Because Aaron is crawling and getting into everything we bought a baby corral for him. It does help, but he is only really content when we sit in it with him -- defeating the purpose. But, it is nice that he can't get into anything he shouldn't.

Such BIG beautiful eyes!

"Please, please, please..."

"Help, I can't get out!"

Aaron's First Baseball Game

Two weeks ago we went to an Arizona Diamondbacks game. We had really good seats, but Aaron wasn't too excited about sitting still. So, we sat in some seats a little farther back and enjoyed the game. The stadium is air conditioned, making the evening very comfortable. It felt like it was 20 degrees cooler.

For some reason Aaron looks disgusted in this next picture.

A sweet member of the staff heard me say that it was Aaron's first game, so she handed me this cute little button that said, "My First Game." He liked to suck on it.

As we were leaving the game, we couldn't get to our car because fireworks were being set off on the top level of the car garage. So, we hung around and waited for them. While we were waiting Nick and Aaron visited with an officer on horseback Aaron really liked the horse.

I was a little nervous because I wasn't sure how Aaron would react to the fireworks, but he didn't seem to mind. He didn't quite know what to think about the finale, but no crying.
