New swing

Our main gift to Aaron for his birthday was a wooden toddler horse swing. Since Aaron's birthday was on a Thursday, Thom ended up taking Friday off of work for a long weekend. He got the hardware he needed to hang the swing and we let Aaron test drive it before his afternoon nap.

His new sitter, Katrina was babysitting, and she was helping us get him to smile. Katrina is a lot of fun and he seems to really get along with her.

In the slideshow below, you'll see him looking off to the side and making funny faces at Katrina.

Although he seemed unsure at first, the swing seems to be a big hit. He even enjoys swinging in his swing while his Daddy sits in the porch swing nearby. He has lots of things to look at and to talk about. I just wish I understood what he was saying! Because it sounds very exciting.
