Aaron is home!! Yay! He came back last week, early early in the morning! Jacob & I had to pick him up at 4am!! But we didn't mind the early wake up call! It was well worth it. As soon as Jacob saw Aaron he knew exactly who that was. I was holding him and put him on the ground and Jacob walked straight to Aaron with his arms open to give him a hug. It was soo cute! I'm very glad he wasn't shy or took a while to warm up. I think it helped that we spent alot of time on Skype and talking on the phone. So he knew who his daddy was.
We have spent the last week trying to get into a normal routine and of course Aaron doing little things around the house that I couldn't do while he was gone. Somehow while Aaron was gone, I managed to break the back axle of the lawn mower...opps!! I guess I shouldn't have been mowing the grass too fast! Thankfully it is still under warranty! We are now planning the small projects around the house that we want to do before Aaron's big 30th birthday party in July. So stay tuned for updates!!
I've come to realize that Jacob is growing up way too fast! He is becoming very independent, or at least trying to. He wants to do everything himself. I guess it's a good thing...but sometimes it takes forever to do something! But I let him try and try until he gets it. He is also a huge little helper. Whatever Aaron and I are doing, Jacob is there to help. From helping me pull laundry out of the dryer, to helping Aaron plant trees. He is an extremely active and physical little guy. He is still babbling, but doesn't use exact words yet. He understands exactly what we say and is very smart. I'm sure he will speak one day and then it will be hard to keep him quiet! But for now, we are enjoying every second of him!
P.S.
I got a new camera which I've been dying to have! So my hobby will hopefully become a side job one day! (fingers crossed) I've been practicing and having fun taking pictures of little man all the time. I'll post more later!
