Santa!

Asher got to meet Santa this morning during his daycare's Breakfast with Santa! They've tried to make the whole week fun for the kiddos and yesterday was jammies day. Asher wasn't quite sure what to think of Santa but didn't seem to mind sitting on his lap and while he can't talk yet her certainly looked like he knew he was suppose to tell him what he wanted for Christmas!

Rice Cereal and Oatmeal . . . Yummmy!

At Asher's 4 month appointment the doctor said it would be alright to let Asher starting trying some solid foods, but then he had his first ear infection and we were off to Indiana for Thanksgiving. So finally, at closer to five months old, Asher got the chance to try out a spoon! He started with just a teaspoon of rice cereal and loved it! Of course it made a pretty big mess but he is really getting the hang of it now and we see butternut squash in his future soon (Heath and I are just glad he's the one eating it and not us, yuck!).

Getting Ready for Christmas!

Since we've been back in VA from our whirlwind trip to Indiana for Thanksgiving we've been hard at work getting ready for Christmas. We spent an entire day baking goodies for the neighbors, we went to Mistletoe Market and had our picture taken with The Grinch and we've spent lots of time shopping and wrapping presents!

Buddies

Asher met his cousin Sam when he was only 5weeks old but at 5 months Asher realized just how good of buddies he and his cousin are going to be. They had a great time sharing toys, decorating Christmas cookies and listening to stories together! Boy, they sure are going to get in to a lot of trouble together when they get older!

Blessed

While in Indiana, Asher also got baptized at St. John's in Tipton. It was a great opportunity to have family and friends be a part of this special occasion. Then NeeNee and Papaw hosted an open house so they could do a little more showing off!

1st Thanksgiving

It's been a BUSY few weeks! Asher had his first long car trip and did great. Of course we left at 2:00 a.m. so he spent the majority of the trip sleeping. We had a fun-filled holiday weekend getting to see lots of family and eat lots of great food. Asher got to meet more of cousins and his uncle and lots of extended family from IL.
