Not like it's even possible to catch Aaron in pictures anymore. He's usually a blur passing through my frame or else it's a lovely picture of his rump as he runs away from me.
Exhibit A:
I'm still mourning the loss of my stationary baby.But nevertheless, there are a few pictures to share for our diehard fans.
The day we set up our Christmas tree, we started the morning with a few Christmas carols round the piano.
Yes, he sings, dances and plays piano. And he does them all extremely well, as you can see. Unless you couldn't tell that the weird noise he is making is singing. In which case, you obviously can't recognize pure talent.
While Aaron took his first nap of the day, Isaac and I went to get the tree and set it up. Here he is seeing the tree in the living room for the first time.
During Aaron's second nap, we decorated the tree and set up this adorable Little People nativity scene that a friend of my mom's gave to Aaron last Christmas. I had a lot of fun setting it all up.
There was an inn, a manger, a well, shepherds, angels, animals and three wise men with matching tents, outfits and camels. I thought they were particularly wise, given their fashion choices.
Unto YOU a child is born!
Mary is inviting you in to check out her baby. Who never stayed long in the manger while Aaron was around. He preferred to put in him the donkey's cart. Baby Jesus' cradle did kind of look like Aaron's old car seat. Maybe we took one too many trips to Target in the baby seat?
Don't worry. I had just as much fun watching my adorable Nativity knocked to bits moments as it was to set it up.
Mainly because of THIS face the entire time:
He loved it!
On to Christmas morning...
Where's Waldo?
Aaron got a percussion table.
There was a big part of me that was wondering whether we'd regret that decision, but he loves it and surprisingly, it doesn't make too much noise. Lately, he's been more interested in carrying the table around the living room, but hey, to each his own.
He loved opening presents this year. He really got into tearing the paper off.
But he also had a great time playing with each toy after it was unwrapped.
And finally, a A Christmas Tale.
This is Aaron's cousin, Phoebe.
Stinkin adorable, I know.But it's no secret that Aaron's not really a fan just yet.
Maybe he can't handle her level of cuteness.
It's been Phoebe's goal to make Aaron like her. It's been my goal to get them to sit together in one picture, both looking at the camera pretending to enjoy it.
I had big hopes for Christmas morning. They were wearing matching pajamas. Who can resist feelin' the love in matching pajamas?
It started out promising.
P: Hey, boy, can I read with you?
After the glow of some opened presents, I was hoping Aaron would feel charitable. It seemed that he was.A: I guess so. It looks like a good book, huh?
He looked like he was about to read the story to Phoebe.P: (YOINK!)
She stole it! Look at the look of OUTRAGE on his face.A: Peace, I'm outta here.
And again, no dice. Maybe next Christmas?
