Independence Day

We had a great time celebrating Independence Day by grilling some burgers with our friends, Sonya and Stacey, and then attending the city fireworks show.



Aaron was a bit surprised by the loud noises at first but got used to them quickly and seemed to enjoy the show. Austin spent the whole show covering his ears. He kept asking if we had some earphones or something to cover them with because his arms were getting tired. About half way through he decided he was ready to go home. Didn't seem that he enjoyed it too much (he was more excited about the glow stick we got him) but afterward he said, 'Thanks, Mom for taking us to the fireworks.'






We also celebrated independence of another kind. Aaron took his first steps! He has done it a few times since then but not very often. He still prefers to crawl. He walks pretty well for having just started, he just chooses not to do it. :)

The picture below is a pic of Aaron with one of his favorite books. After not really being interested in sitting still for a book, he now loves to read and will bring me book after book at bedtime. He also likes to look at all of his books when he wakes up from a nap.
