New stats

Aaron went to the pediatrician today and his new measurements are in!

Height: 30.5 inches (was 30 inches in November, BO (before Obama)) - 75%ile
Weight: 20lbs, 6oz (was 18lbs, 8oz in November, BO) - 10%ile
Head circumference: 17.25 inches (was 16.75 in November, BO) - 3%ile

He feels so much heavier than just two additional pounds. And with the amount he eats, we were worried he'd be in the obese range. He also got 4 vaccinations and a TB test done. Yuck. He has band-aids on every limb.

Sad visit

Aaron and I went north to visit my dad, who is on home hospice with pancreatic cancer. He kept asking to see Aaron again, so we spent a couple days visiting. It was a difficult visit. Seeing my father in such bad shape is incredibly depressing, but he lit up whenever Aaron was with him. Here are some pics of him fist-bumping and high-fiveing dad. We had a little birthday celebration, because the little mister is 1!!

We both look a little chunky in this picture (only one of us is and I'm not naming names!)

finally

Here are some new pictures. My dad is very ill and it just hasn't felt like a picture-taking couple of weeks. However, Aaron is so cute that the camera practically begs for him. Here he is engaged in his favorite pastimes:
