For the love of cars

Aaron loves cars in any shape and color. He knows what each truck is and who drives the trucks. His favorite ones are a garbage truck, a fire truck, a dump truck, a bulldozer, a pick up truck and a mail truck which he does not have yet but he looks out for it when we're on a walk. He also gets very excited to see our mailman. He runs to him asking for a hug "Ug! Ug!" And then he wants to help the mailman to sort the mail. The mailman (I should know his name by now!) said Aaron made his day last time Aaron gave him a hug.

He loves rolling his cars on the floor and throwing them behind the bed and the sofa and then trying to get them which he, of course, can't do. He keeps trying to open the doors on the cars but unfortunately match box cars' doors do not open. Today we saw a Coca-Cola truck outside our building, so that's the word of the day "Coca-Coja tuck"

He had his 18 months wellness check up today and he's doing great. He weighs 28.4 lb which is only slightly more than his previous check up, but considering the fact that he was very sick and lost some weight, we're pretty happy with where he is right now. That's around 80 percentile. He's 34.5 inches tall and every time a nurse gets his height she asks if his dad is very tall:)

Aaron has been doing great at the doctor's office. He does not cry and does not cling as he used to do. In fact, he gets excited when I tell him that we're going to see Dr. Tae today. I think his Russian book about Doctor Aibolit helped him turn around the corner with his medical personel phobia. Or itt could be due to the fact that he has not received any shots for 3 months and maybe he started forgetting it. But today I told him that a nurse was going to give him a shot (chickenpox) and that it was going to hurt a little bit but then he would not get sick later. So, he was a brave little cookie when the nurse poked him. He cried for less than a minute after she injected the vaccine, but afterwards he kept saying "Ajan mejij" (Aaron is brave)

He's been eating better lately. He loves eggs in any form. And he loves ketchup:) He probably can eat anything or at least try it if you put ketchup on it. So, a carrot omlet was a big hit today-he ate an adult portion.

He continues bringing a lot of joy to Cliff and me!
