Makin' Progress

We noticed recently that Connor is starting to develop some bad health habits. Mostly, all he does is lay or sit down all day long. He never gets his 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on most days of the week as recommended by ACSM. Also, his diet is so routine that he almost never gets his 5 servings a day of fruits & veggies. He keeps drinking out of the milk carton too! (sorry, I couldn't resist on that one)
Therefore, we've made some changes to his daily routine to help get him back on track. I Googled baby plyometrics and found some pretty good exercises to do. It's a little soon to tell, but I think he's really enjoying it and starting to make some progress.

Like Father Like Son

For the past 11 weeks we have been trying to figure out who Little Man looks more like- his mom or his dad. It hasn't been an easy task, for several reasons. There aren't a lot of surviving photographs of mom or dad when they were really young so there hasn't been much to compare to. Also, Connor somehow came out with a better tan than his mom and dad put together. Where he got his color from, we have no idea. But, alas, we finally had a breakthrough this past week. After taking picture after picture, we finally snapped one in just the right way that enabled us to make a definative decision. So, have a look and decide for yourself.

The Aarons' Bodacious Boomin' B-Day BBQ Blowout Bash

On Friday evening we had the combined Birthday party for Connor's dad and Rock's dad. It was a fun event with lots of grillin', a sweet cake, a football pinata and to top it all off- a game of kickball.

Check out the football cake with Connor and Rock facing off against each other.
Just chillin and grillin.
Everyone got a chance to take a few swings

Check out that form, looks like a home run to me (or should it be a touchdown?!)

Candy!!!!The Birthday boys/ kickball champions. Yeah... we've got Sponge Bob on our ball!

Workout Buddies

They say you can never start too early... but between their 5am, noon and 5pm weight training sessions and 10am & 3pm cardio workouts, Creatine and Myoplex protein shakes (mixed with milk of course), and meals every 3 hours I think we just might be OK for the upcoming football season.

Rogaine with Minoxidil

We have started to notice that the Little Guy is looking a little thin up top, so being the over-zealous parents that we are, we immediately consulted with our family doctor. He recommended we put Connor on Rogaine without any delay, so we consulted with Little Man and he agreed. We were kinda skeptical so we took some before and after pics just to be sure it worked. And boy did it work! See for yourself...

Silly Faces

Check Out My New Ride

I've been bugging mom and dad for a little while now to get me a set of wheels. I know I'm only 10 weeks old but I like to think that I'm a mature 10 week old. Anyways, they finally broke down and bought me a ride. It's pretty sweet, it does 0-60 feet in 7.2 seconds, has a full racing seat harness, suspension and racing slicks. I wanted 22 inch chrome wheels and a sweet stereo system with a subwoofer, but mom and dad just laughed when I brought it up so I might have to wait on that a little bit.

But the best part is that it's a two seater, so now I can go cruise the trail and pick me up some ladies. This is me scanning the horizon and keeping a lookout for any potentials. Picture me Rollin!!

Just to be nice, I let mom and dad come along with me for the maiden voyage. I'm worried that they're gonna want to come along with me everytime and cramp my style. So I have to figure out a way to gently let them know, without causing a big scene. Until then I guess I'll just have to sneak out a night while they're sleeping and go joy ridin'

Hat Delight

"It's not a birthday party without the hats!" is what Connor tell us.
