The finished product

I finally finished redoing the furniture in our bedroom. So here are some pictures of the finished project. I have to say, I am rather pleased but it is not perfect. I used 2 types of polyurethane and one turned out a lot shinier than I wanted . I have a couple of spots to touch up, but it is good enough for now. After over a year and half of being in our house, we finally got curtains in our room. Next time, our bedroom will not be one of the last rooms to be finished.
This is our dresser, which is the piece that looks the best. I wish I had pictures of it before. You can see from my previous post the mirror as I had it torn apart.

Random pictures

Playing with Uncle Brian. Aaron was not interested in getting in the box to play, so he just watch Brian play in it.
Playing some music
Since Aaron does not want to stay still for diaper changes, mom had Aaron in her lap to get it on. I think Aaron was enjoying that game.

Baths (the need, the fear, the result)

About 2 weeks ago, Aaron all of a sudden started hating his bath. He cried and reached for you to get him out. Before this episode, he loved baths and would walk you into the bathroom multiple times a day. To help him overcome his fear, I tried to make baths a little more fun. A couple of days ago he was in major need of a good bath...

so I figured I would give it a try again. He did good. Especially once he remembered how to splash. Now he is trying to climb into the bath tub again and walks you into the bathroom. I am so glad his fear of the bath is over. We are going to have to figure out a way to wash his hair without him getting upset now. He use to do soooo good keeping his head up so the water would not run in his face. But now anytime water goes on his head, he looks down as quick as possible and gets upset when the water gets in his face. If anyone has any tips, they are welcome.

Easter

Playing with Chewy. This is Caleb's parents' dog. He is such a sweet calm dog and sat with Aaron poking him with no problems.
What are you talking about???

Easter Egg Hunt

Here are some pictures from Aaron's first Easter Egg Hunt. We went last weekend to one held at church that was sponsored by my MOPS group. We got there about 5 minutes late and missed the hunt part, but we got to hang out with some friends.

Practicing walking with daddy's help. Aaron is getting really good at walking while holding your fingers. How he is walking some holding just one hand.

"playing" with friends, Caroline and Issac. Issac and his twin sister are a week younger than Aaron and normally get to "play" together a couple times a week at different things.

The verdict is in....

Due to many of you being stalkers (its ok, I'm one too) I will continue the blog. I can't make any promises right now on how good I will do with posting, due to everything listed in the previous post, but I will do my best with keeping you up to date with stories and pictures. I will strive to be as good of a blogger as Josh and Danielle as they always have great stories and pictures and new post all the time. For now, enjoy the sporatic post. Also, if there is anything specific you want to hear about, let me know.
