Making rolls for daddy

For Valentines day I made some pink cinnamon rolls for Stephen and Joseph. So Wednesday Joseph asked if we could make some more rolls. We got out the ingredients (Jiffy mix and milk) and made some rolls. He decided that he wanted the rolls blue and the icing green. He loved helping and is now constantly asking if he can make rolls. I got some yeast so we can make some real rolls next time. Anyone has a good roll recipe that is relatively easy?

An update on Aaron. He is now crawling on his hands and knees, until he slips and then it is back to an army crawl. He is also pulling himself up to a standing position. He is getting so big and so proud of himself about standing. Just look at that smile. Also here are just a couple of cute random pictures. We had our friends the Tibbs over. Aaron's friend Lucy just sat on Aaron's lap. Also here is a picture of Joseph helping his dad putting up his basketball hoop.

Aaron's new stats

We just got back from Aaron's 9 month appt and here are his stats.

Height 69 cm (50th percentile)
Weight 19lbs 15.5 oz (20th percentile)
Head circumference 47 cm (75th percentile)

These are a drop from his last appointment but the Doctor was not worried. He is very healthy and happy. He is doing great!

Joseph came with Aaron and I to the appointment. He had to get his chicken pox vaccine again. Apparently the one they gave him at 12 months was from a bad lot. He didn't like the supprise, but loved the Lighting McQueen stickers the nurse gave him.

The Vanentine Card

I just notice that the card was partially obscured in the slide show. So here it is.

My Valentine



Stephen gave me the best gift for Valentines this year. A beautiful portrait session of the boys and a card with their pictures. Thank you so much sweetie. I love the pictures. And I love the subjects

Oh no. He is moving!

Well Aaron has finally figured it out. He has started doing the combat crawl. It is all down hill from there. He has been rocking on his knees for quite a while. But he is so happy to be able to get around. Note that in the video he is not coming to see his Mommy but to eat some puffs. He is all boy. The way to his heart is through his stomach. Speaking of babyfood, a friend of mine has pointed out a new baby treat that her daughter loves. So I got some for Aaron and he absolutely loves it. They are called Baby Mum-mums. They come in veggie and rice flavors. I know they are at Walmart. I'm not sure if they are at Smiths. They are located right next to the puffs.
Sorry that Joseph is screaming through the video. He loves the spaceship that Stephen made for him out of a cardboard box. We had to put holes in his spaceship so that we could use his tools that he got for Christmas to fix the spaceship.
