Our little Indian

This little get-up, complete with headdress, tamahawk, drum and mallet was a gift from Mammaw during her visit. He stomped around and said "Boom" when he hit the drum. The headdress stayed on for about 15 minutes that day, and now he won't have anything to do with it. He'd much rather the dog or I wear it. SO glad I got the camera out when I did!

Springtime?

I thought Monday was the first day of Spring, but this was the view out my bathroom window yesterday morning! The weather out here can be almost as wacky as it is back home in Tejas! They say we'll hit 79 degrees on Friday, and the snow is just about gone on these mountains this morning. Oh, well!

Watch out!

Mom and I took Aron out to the petting zoo at Bonnie Springs last week. Now, being the biased mom that I am, I tend to think Aron is adorable and a particularly sweet boy. Apparently, this deer has similar taste!

Spring Flowers

One of the perks of living in a town like Las Vegas, is that we are able to take advantage of all of the wonderful and free things that are done to attract the tourists! My favorite of these is the atrium at the Bellagio which is re-done according to the season. I have to believe that this was the most beautiful display of flowers I have ever seen! Tulips, hydrangea, orchids, even live butterflies! Aron had a blast and looked oh-so-cute in his spring duds!

A night on the town!

My Mom and Aunt Paula were here for a fun-filled visit during Spring Break. On Saturday night we all got dolled up and headed out for a night on the Strip to celebrate Mom's birthday! Our friend Leah kept Aron while we dined at Maggiano's and saw Clint Holmes perform at Harrah's. Both Mom and Paula walked out of the casino richer than they came in! This is no small feat on a Saturday night! We had a great time and can't wait for their next trip to Las Vegas!

Baby Bear

While doing a little Spring Cleaning this morning, I came across my old Teddy bear in a closet. I pulled it out for Aron and he has taken a liking to him. He said, "bar" and then decided to lay down on the floor with him. I am so glad I had my camera near by, because it only lasted a moment. Such a sweet boy we have!

Blueberry Breakfast

This morning Aron enjoyed blueberries, mangos and pancakes. Apparently the blueberries most of all! He can be quite a picky eater these days, unless fruit is involved. Bananas are a favorite treat. Two days ago I handed him half a peeled banana, which he took a bite of and then walked over to the dishwasher I was loading and put that banana in the utensil holder with his forks and spoons and closed the door! Good thing I saw it before I started the wash cycle!

Daddy's Boy

This was taken a week ago last Sunday when we decided to spend an afternoon at a local park. Aron loves the swings and calls them "Eeeeeee", which is his version of "Wheeeeee". He LOVES his Daddy and is always ready to play with "Da".

Sweetest Gift

I was given the sweetest gift for Valentine's Day....smiles from Aron! Daddy did a good job buying a card for him to sign. It had a dog on it of course and when I opened it, he said "Doh"! It was a wonderful day and I was reminded by both my boys just how full of love our home is!
Aron is very verbal here lately! He says: book, ball, ba-ba (what we call his cup), duck, dog, door, yigh (light), moon, bo-bo (bubbles), bye-bye, dah (dad), nana (banana), tee (tree), thee (three, which he exclaims after mommy says, "one...two..."), and teeth. But who's counting.... The signing is going well, too. He knows dog and bird and does them often. He has done others in the past, but these two seem to be his favorites. This is such a fun stage of development and I am amazed at how quickly he learns.
