November update on Aaron

So many things are happening for Aaron. The middle of Oct he moved to size 2 diapers and by the end of Nov those were getting snug, but it feels weird to think size 3 since Miriam's a 4. Also he doesn't fit the cloth diapers so well. I think he has a longer torso than Miriam had; as he grows out of shirts very quickly, but is ok on pants. He is steadily moving out of 0-3 clothes especially shirts and one pieces.
He is very strong as he went from using a prop:
Which somehow he always squirmed over or back off. Now he doesn't need a prop anymore as this is what he is doing:

We introduced him to the lights and sound bar of his bouncy seat toward the first of the month. I like to wait awhile till their sight is developed so as not to overwhelm them. He absolutely loved it! I think he liked it better and could handle it better than Miriam did the first time. He watched it avidly like he was watching a movie for 30-40 min straight!
He still loves it and plays more than Miriam did with the hanging bird and monkey. In fact I think Miriam likes it way better now than she did at his size. She get really upset if I take the bar off and is constantly turning it on.He is also trying really hard to sit up. Plus he is really stiff. It is really hard to bend him to the sitting position and it's getting worse. He can bear his weight and is standing flat footed. I don't think he'll be slow to sit up and stand alone either. He can sit really good propped in the corner of a chair and we introduced him to his bumbo seat when we were in ID for Thanksgiving. He did really well with it though he gets tired after a little while.
Of course Miriam has to imitate and do everything he's doing too. She also loves Aaron's things for her dolls. She is always putting them in the car seat, swing, bouncer, and bumbo seat. Not to mention trying to put his diapers on them, too bad I didn't save any newborn ones for her to use. Aaron loves to be held all the time, he's a little spoiled that way so he participates in all sorts of activities, such as helping Daddy on the computer.

Caleb still imitates Skyler all the time...it's actually a lot of fun because they imitate each other and play all the time!

He is so cute Jess!! I was cracking up at the picture of Miriam in the bouncer. Makoa did the same thing when we offered his bouncer to Josiah! :)

Our daughters could be twins. Annalee likes baby toys better now than when she was a baby, and she puts her dolls in the high chair, car seat, etc. even though we don't have another baby yet. What a challenge that will be!
