FIRST Camp out!

Aaron had his first camp out last Friday night. The
weather was cool and Uncle Tim invited Aaron and
daddy to camp out in Gram and Paw Paw's back
yard. Much to our suprise-- everyone lasted ALL
night!

The Boys are ready!

A Pirate Party

Aaron has anxiously been awaiting the birthday
party of the year. Jackson Peay's pirate 4th
birthday party! Jackson is Aaron's best bud at
school. You can see they make a great looking
pair!

This party was held at LASM and was fully
pirate themed...complete with digging for buried
treasure, decorating swords and treasure chests,
and stamping with pirate stamps! Aaron wore
his Mickey Mouse pirate outfit-- complete with
pirate mickey underwear!

Baby Girl is growing!

Avery had her 2 month check up today- she
is 10lbs 2oz and in the 75th percentile for height.

She and Aaron both had 3 shots so it was a rather
tramatic morning.

Conversations with Aaron

Aaron has learned that we all have other names--

He got in the car yesterday and said "Momma, My name
is Aaron Gaines, Your name is Abby Gaines, Daddy's name
is Andrew Gaines, and Baby Sister is Avery Gaines"

I asked him if he knew what his middle name is. He said no.
I said your middle name is Griffith. Your full name is Aaron
Griffith Gaines.

He said... "oh no Momma... Aaron Griffith is my time out name!"

Avery tried out the bumbo seat this week-
she is still a little small but b/c of the acid reflux
she prefers to be sitting up

Dance, Dance, Dance

A few weeks ago we had a great
visit from Pop Pop and his friend
Judy. We went to eat at Boutin's
that night and they had a band playing.
Aaron really wanted to dance but
was a little shy at first..


Here he is being shy


Looking to see who else is on the floor

Ok coming out of his shell
