Busy times

We've been busy in the Lovell house. I started my new job at Cooper Hospital and I think I'll be very happy there. Over this past weekend, Aaron really revved up his "terrible two"-ness. Lots of funny stuff, but also a plethora of meltdowns. "Milk please?" I hand him a cup with milk. "NO!!! No milk! (don't) Want it milk!" accompanied by vigorous shaking of head from side to side and many tears. One distraction later, he is all smiles and hugs. It's unbelievable and exhausting for all of us.

We had a little Adoption Day party, at which he was adorable. There were a lot of kids here and they were all over the place. He was born in the year of the Golden Fire Pig, so I made some gold pig cookies, which were delicious.


Uncle Jimmy came to visit for Thanksgiving and everyone went to a parade on the main drag. He still loves parades (we just saw the lighted firetruck parade last friday and I though he was going to lose his mind with excitement).




We also paid a visit to Baba in Worcester two weekends ago. Aaron saw his first snow and got to play in it, although it took a while to convince him that it was snow outside and not bubbles. He was pretty sure of himself.

He's convinced now. And that "uh-oh" was because he noticed a truck whose presence he had not yet announced.
