I actually thought I hid this one pretty good but apparently not, Jason found his "Mater" truck from Disney Cars the Film. It's big, heavy and makes a lot of noise when it falls on the floor which is why I hid it hoping that mater after awhile we could bring it back out and not worry about it sliding across the living room (having been through from the dining room).
Needless to say he found it and for 3 days I prepared myself for the noise, it didn't come Mater is sitting on his play table with an assortment of other little cars just chilling out :-) our little guy is getting older it seems.

Hanging ten...
I've never heard or seen anything like this before, quite interesting device.
Basically it hangs there and Aaron lays on it but it's also a seat (you can't see his back end sloped down and his feet are on the floor) and this helps build muscles and with the whole supporting of the neck and all that.
So far 2 minutes is max before he gets bored but he's holding his up quite well!

My house
We decided it was time for Jason it get a place of his own, OK no really it's summer and we are outside more than inside lately so we wanted to get one of those plastic house things for Jason to play in.
eBay of course and 10 minutes of cleaning it then 10 minutes to put it together then hours later he can't get enough, if only he would stop tumbling out the window and use the door instead LOL.

Our water rat...
It's happened, we kind of figured it would but I guess ignored it at the time. We've had a water rat, a 2 year old water rat that won't get out of the water, won't stop jumping in the puddles and will drag the garden hose around and complain their is a knotten (knot) in the hose if no water comes and will do so until someone turns it on.
He actually uses the excuse he wants to "blume wasser" (water the plants) which quickly turns into attacking anyone close enough with the water until they are soaked...
Poor Tic Tac Oma (great grandma) isn't as fast as she used to be and is often completely soaked in minutes while Jason is falling over laughing.

But I wanna...
We found this cool little table on eBay for the garden, and of course Jason decided the best way to "test" it was of course to immediately climb up on top and jump around.
The look that says "but what do you mean I shouldn't climb up here..."

Look Mom!
Well things are very much back to normal here at home and Aaron is progressing along like a champ, getting bigger and more active day ba day!
He's not laughing and smiling and starting to grab things so we are very excited! In his little chair he'll bat around the little toys attached to it or when we lay him on the couch with a mobile thingy over him.
Lately he's just constant smiling (even though I've yet to capture a picture of it).

10 Weeks in review
This weekend was the first one where all 4 of us were here at home in the past couple of weeks! So I decided it might be a good time to take a look back at the last 10 or so weeks since around the time Aaron arrived.
Jason fell and busted his lip, resulting in Nicole and he being in the hospital for a few days, the following week Nicole went into the hospital to have Aaron.
Aaron and Nicole stayed n the hospital for a week or so.
My mom flew over from the US and the first week Aaron was home we had her here (thank goodness!!!!)
Then we began to slowly try to figure things out, luckily I was on vacation the whole time so that helped to sort things out.
Jason and I drove 360KM down to Walldorf, stayed in a hotel, visited my office then drove home.
I went off to Walldorf over night and all was well - a bit hectic and stressful but none to bad.
I went to Berlin for 3 days and Nicole had "stress" so that was kind of rough.
I got home and the following night around midnight, Nicole called down and said she needed me - Aaron was throwing up and could not get it out of his system resulting in not being able to breath. 110 (that's 911 in Germany for you US folks) and the ambulance came and off they went.
They spent several days in the hospital, came out and 24 hrs later the little guy was throwing up non stop. Back they went. It seems they picked up a virus while there.
A few days later (this is called Parenting right?) I got to hold Jason in my arms while he threw up down my back all night long. Needless to say we both got it too (I had issues the following night about 20 hrs after Jason).
So this weekend we enjoyed being home and having time together, most of it was spent outside on a beautiful day!
We are hoping that we can finally get into some type of a routine!

I did it again...
I seem to do those dumb things you shouldn't and yesterday was no exception, Jason loves when the balls hits and falls down through the tree therefore if you start down this path you have to keep going and round about the 4th time the ball got stuck - I of course climbed the tree to get it down. We are now of course worried that today once Jason hits the garden he's going to want to "climb the tree" as well...
Here's fingers crossed that he doesn't think about it!

The Gardner
Instead of just running around this weekend Jason decided it was time to earn his keep (about time I would say) and therefore he decided to help out his Opa by doing some watering...
Lazy Day
In a moment of peace and quiet we snapped this photo of the two guys just chilling out.
On another note, this morning Jason decided he wanted his little brother next to him in bed and so he dragged Aaron up the bed next to him (he pulled the foot or better said the pyjama foot) - kind of scared us!
