Lots of news...

The greatest news ever...Aaron's genetic work-up came out %100 normal! Whatever it is they thought he had, he doesn't. He's just hypotonic and will get over it eventually. The neurologist suggested a muscle biopsy but we're not going there. He's been prodded enough. We're stopping at the news that he's normal! All of his "distinct features are just his own little ways of looking different and awesome. He's the best and it's nice to have a test that tells us he's fine and we can stop looking for something. So in his 8th month, he started sitting unsupported, getting into sitting on his own, crawling and clapping his hands. The 8th month was his catch-up month. He is everywhere. Crawling like crazy and just being the cutest thing ever!

My boys playing on the floor together...

Charlie loves that Aaron crawls now, but gets annoyed that he immediately crawls for things he's not supposed to have, like Charlie's toys. I hear alot of, "no no Aaron...mommy, come get Aaron!"
Aaron still thinks that Charlie is the best and loves his big brother!

Aaron on his 9 month birthday...we drove out to Strausburg, PA to check out the trains, ride on Thomas, and visit the train museum. It was tons of fun, and my sister met us there with Bode and we went to her house for yummy pizza afterwards!

Daddy and Charlie at the train museum. It was so cool! I only wish we lived closer...what an awesome place for a birthday party!

Shoveling coal into the tender at the museum...

The whole family!

Here's Thomas!

Riding the little train...as long as it's a train, it's cool in their book!

Mommy and Aaron...I don't know why I look a bit psycho...it's the whole self-portrait angle!

So this week we are gearing up for Charlie's actual birthday (December 10th, for which he requested a Christmas tree cake), and the start of Hanukkah! Busy times! It started snowing on Saturday evening which was super cool. Charlie had to put his boots on and check it out!

Hey, it made him happy! He was bummed that it was sunny today and not snowing again! Too funny!
