"A" is for Aaron

It's hard to believe that it has already been one week since Aaron entered our lives. He cast a spell on us that makes it hard to distinguish day from night, hard to worry about anything but diaper counts, and hard to focus on anything but his adorable ever-changing expressions. See what I mean?
There have been many unforgettable moments with him in the past week, but here are a few highlights:
As with all little boys, diaper changes are tricky. If you're not fast enough you end up changing more than just his diaper because of unrestrained waterworks displays. On one such occasion while Jonny was changing him Aaron urinated in his own face. Poor guy. We couldn't help but laugh at the bewildered expression that came across his face. I wish I had a picture of that, but this one will have to suffice.Another great moment was when he gave his first two smiles to Jonny. I know babies usually don't "social smile" until about five or six weeks (all the smiles before then are supposedly because of gas...or at least that's what they say), but when he was wide awake, staring at his daddy, he smiled right at him, and then did it again at Jonny's coaxing. We didn't catch a picture of that sweet smile, but here is something close to it:
Finally, many of my favorite moments with Aaron involve his sweet little hands. I love how he reaches out to feel everything that's in front of him, especially my hair and skin. I love how he juts his arms into the air and spreads his fingers when he's angry. I love how he rubs his hands together when he's content. His hands are one of my favorite things.
Ok. That's enough doting for one post. We sure love this little guy. I feel so lucky to be his mother.
