Our June Bug

June has flown by and a lot has happened. We've had cuddle time galore with grandparents this month. Asher was able to see his Bubbie and Grandpa Neil. He is also now running, not walking everywhere and keeping us on our toes.  Finally, he can sign "more", "dog" and "all done".  He can also say, vroom, and tickle, tickle which just means you are going to be attacked in some form whether it be biting, pulling hair, or pinching, it all falls under the word"tickle tickle" because he thinks it is funny. Asher also knows his body parts.,well.... really, everyone elses. He loves to touch your nose, ears, and find your belly button. He also loves the occasional grab for his toes and will lift them up for you when you say toes.  Finally,  I decided that I would officially stay home for the next four years to take care of our growing boy!  We have our nanny for the next month, so I am busy getting ready for the full time transition.

Playing with the Ipad camera. Uh-oh, Asher sees the Ipad and wants it. 

We have to get a balloon for Asher when we are at the grocery store. He loves them.

Cuddle time with my little guy

"Don't hold me Mama, I want to run and go up and down the steps!" Asher screamed.

Playing with photobooth on the Ipad. Asher loves this picture of himself. I like it because he looks like an Angel.

Baby Boy with Curls

Oh, how I loved Asher's cute little curls. He has such thick hair and was the talk of the playground.  Many people admired his lovely locks and so did Jed and I.  Unfortunately, we didn't enjoy dinner time because Asher's hair became a mess as he ran his sticky fingers through his beautiful hair. One too many black bean meals later,  we had enough. Our patience wore thin and we decided, much to the chagrin of Asher's grandparents, that it was time to go back to the salon to cut those baby curls. He did surprisingly well, it must be the fact that he turned 17 months today. 17 month olds can handle haircuts, right? Anyway, whatever it was, he was a gem!

This picture was taken today. We are getting ready to go get Asher's haircut. Do you think he knows?

Silly Baby!

Daddy, Let's go!

Lately, he loves to sit on the stairs. 

They even put a little gel in Asher's hair.

Mother's Day and a gift from Asher!

This Mother's Day was a special one. Asher's Nana came to celebrate and the weather was just spectacular. There was also another celebration that Asher wanted to share with all of us...

Fun at the playground!

Nana Time!

A couple of weeks or so ago, I whispered to Asher, "Asher will you either walk or talk in the next two weeks as a Mother's Day gift to me?" Asher listened and then sighed and a week ago, May 8th to be exact,  he obliged....

Crab Crawl

Our little mister makes us laugh with his new crawl that he picked up over the last few days. He is super fast when crawling and somtimes that rubs his little knees a little too much and creates bruises. No worries, he has found a simple solution...

Big Boy!

Asher is such a big boy! He has done so many neat things this month that make his Mommy and his Daddy very proud. We have been so worried about his walking and talking that we need to slow down and remember all the great things he can do. So, I thought it was fitting to take a moment and to notice them now in our little blog.

Our sweet little boy can pick out a book by its title. For example, if I say, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" he will grab the book and hand it to me.  He loves to make us laugh by putting various objects over his eyes from the end of his water bottle to a box with holes. Asher also puts his finger in his mouth when I make the "ney" sound and then giggles. Not sure why he does this, but it makes us laugh. Today, Asher pushed the laundry basket around the house as if it were a walker. He sure was going fast, luckily the walls stopped him.

Munch, munch, munch, goes our little caterpillar.

One arm stand-any day now he will be walking.

Laundry Time

Spring Break is almost over and this means that Asher and I must catch up on the laundry. Yes, I said, Asher and I. He loves to help me with the laundry by taking the socks out of the laundry basket and putting them back in the basket. I truly have a little helper.  Today, he was being very silly before bedtime and making me laugh by trying to bite the socks.

Here is the VIDEO below of the sock biting incident mentioned earlier. If you have problems viewing the video than place the video on pause and wait a few seconds or a minute, hit play again and you should have no problem viewing the video. (This mainly applies to all of Asher's grandparents who have had trouble viewing the videos in the past.)

Fun with Fruit Packs!

Asher had a play date with Kiera a week ago.  Kiera is a year older than Asher and oh so cute. Look how much they enjoyed their afternoon fruit snack together.
