Your Aries baby is eager to explore and will reach out to grab anything—literally. In fact, the Aries toddler often ends up with a scar on his head or face because he plunges into life headfirst. Aries is competitive and wants to be first in line, first in the car, first up the stairs and so on. "I win!"

Aries is a vigorous sign (and impatient at times). An Aries baby will jump and wave, using his legs and hands as much as possible. Because Aries are the pioneers of the zodiac, they want to explore! This quest for new territory means your baby will quickly tire and wants to move on to whatever is new and untouched.

Aries children love hats and glasses. They are enthralled by fire engines (and firemen hats), military toys, cowboy hats, plus cars and trucks that race. Zoom, zoom! They love metal and will play with pots and pans. A sure winner is a stuffed toy or a pet that is a baby animal, like kittens and puppies. They love adventure stories about babies and baby animals. As adults, Aries are often active in saving and protecting animals.

A creative sign, your Aries child will love arts and crafts. Warning: Aries children love fire! Most important: Always use a fire screen in front of a glass-panelled gas fireplace. This child will reach out to touch that "fire." Definitely.
