There has been talk of transition for the Timmons family. We have no news yet, but I wanted to take some time to fill you in on what we do know.
Aaron has been considering a job/career change for a while now. He has enjoyed his current position at Hawker Beechcraft, but he is ready for something different. Recently, he began actively seeking out positions with companies of interest to him. Namely, The Motley Fool and Amazon.com. They have both been receptive to his interest and things seem to be moving forward, though he has not received any job offers yet. He has an on-site interview with The Motley Fool in December and there are two locations with Amazon.com that we are currently looking at in Pheonix, AZ and Allentown, PA .

A trip to the zoo
Wednesday was too beautiful of a day to not go to the zoo. I just cannot get enough of all the beautiful fall colors. The red leaves pictured above are probably my favorite during this season. I love my children and I love watching how excited they get about the animals and the playground at the zoo!
Josiah at age one
To mark Josiah's 1st birthday, I thought I would give an update and describe him at this point in his life.
People keep asking me if he is still wearing his brace. As of September 10th, he only wears it at night. In Novemeber, the left hip was not quite where it needed to be so he will wear it until his next evaluation in March. He can stand up, crawl, roll over, and even "waddle cruise" with it on!
I think it is telling what others say when we are out and about. He is "a really happy baby" and "doesn't look like he's missed too many meals" as one put it kindly. :)
He is walking while holding onto things and can kick his crawl into overdrive. He is intense, persistent, and responds to a firm "No." with a giddy grin. We have to wrestle him to keep him in the bathtub, but he loves splashing water; reaching into the tub, sink, and toilet. He makes us smile and laugh a whole lot.
In addition to splashing, he LOVES playing with his sister, being outside, moving to music, rubbing Daddy's head, eating, and manipulating toys.
He hates lying on his back and spoon food.
He blesses Mommy by pretty much only soiling his diaper in the morning (when he still has a disposable on) or on evenings when Daddy is watching him (cloth diaper). Such a sweet, sweet little boy.
The above was written before we tried transitioning him to whole milk. That backfired. Literally, messy, multiple times a day. Not good. Today his doctor recommended keeping him on formula until 18 months.
We have all had fun watching him learn to use sign language. So far, he knows signs for light, dog, more, and all done. It is so exciting for everyone when he communicates!

Josiah is 1!
We celebrated the little guy's birthday last weekend. Highlights included an intense game of stack the cheerios, receiving a blue bow on one of his gifts, Josiah centered finger food for dinner, Daddy arriving home from work with LOTS of balloons, a train cake decorated by Mommy and Grandma Nancy, which led to...his first taste of SUGAR!
