Playin'

Asher has really gotten in to playing as he gets older. His favorite is hitting two things together, any two things!!! Or banging things on the ground. But now that he's learned how to crawl he also enjoys pulling up on things or just getting on his news. Yesterday he even got to enjoy the swings at the park and going swimming at the Y.

Asher's 1st Easter!

While Asher didn't exactly know what was going on for his first Easter he played the part very well. He let us get him all dressed up in his sweater vest and seersucker shorts and did great a church. Unfortunately, the easter basket was a bit of bust and Asher preferred camping out at his favorite spot (standing up by the baskets in our family room) over checking out what was in his easter basket. Although I'm sure the bubbles, books and puzzle in his basket will grow on him! He did LOVE the eggs in his basket and while he as too little to know there were M&Ms inside to eat he certainly enjoyed shaking them! Guess that just means more candy for mom and dad.

"Uhh, Am I in Trouble?"

I have a feeling I am going to see this look from Asher a lot over the next 18 years. He just looks like he's thinking, "Uh, Am I in trouble??" Of course who could get mad at a face like that! Asher certainly enjoyed pulling out every single on of mommy's cookbooks and checking them out. He loves to squeeze paper through his fingers and crunch it up.

Sacked

Asher had a BIG playdate with two of his buddies, Brooks and Asa, and he was exhausted when it was over. He had trouble napping during the day but as soon as they left he was out!
It appears he's pretty fond of mommy and daddy's new mattress and pillows as well!

Splish, Splash I Was Taking a Bath

This is going to be one of those pictures Asher will be so embarrassed we took and we'll have to make sure we whip out on his first date. Heath was in charge of Asher's bath night tonight and as I walked past the bathroom this is what I saw. It was too cute I had to get a picture of it. Asher has pretty much preferred to stand up over sit since he was able to do so but now he's even starting to find that standing up in the bathtub is more fun, which can be a little challenging. I suppose Heath found a pretty creative way of working with him!

"Somebody Step On A Duck?!"

Heath's mom, brother and nephew made it down to VA for a quick trip this past weekend. The boys (minus Asher) spent the majority of the weekend golfing, watching golf, or talking about golf. Caddyshack was quoted throughout the weekend. While I know Asher will be joining them soon out on the green, for now his grandma and I enjoyed taking him shopping and to Romp and Roll. Of course we all enjoyed dinner out as well. . . At least I think we did!??! Asher was just a little mesmerized by the chef at the Japanese steakhouse.

Chopped

Asher had his first real haircut last week. Our neighbor's mother offered to cut his hair and we definitely took her up on it since neither Heath or I wanted to do it! Asher did a great job and wasn't scared at all - just a little wiggly!
