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!"

St. Jude Trike-A-Thon 2011

Fun at Pop Pop's

Around the house

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

Out on the floor with Ms. Judy

Having fun now!

Water Slide Fun

We went to Rylee Jo's birthday party on
Sunday and she had a great water slide to play on.
Everyone had a great time...and it was HOT
outside!

Weekend Beach Trip

Last weekend we decided all of a sudden
to take a quick trip to Gulf Shores for
the weekend. I got a great deal on
a 1 bedroom condo with bunk beds.
Pop Pop was able to come with us -
he and Aaron shared the bunk beds.
Avery did great on her first weekend
trip-- slept the whole way there and
back-- though that made for some long
nights!



The bunk beds each had their own tv and dvd
player-- Aaron LOVED that!

Building sand castles

This is what Avery did while at her first

time on the beach

Riding the ferry on the way home

First tub bath

Fan day at LSU

We went to Fan Day at LSU last weekend so
Aaron could meet Mike the Tiger. He also
joined Mike's Club and got a tiger tail and tshirt--
he said he is ready to go to a football game this
year so we will see if we can get some tickets to
one later in the year.

One Month Old!

Avery is one month old today-- my
