Happy Birthday Asher!!

Asher Baby!!! You are one year old already!!?? I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around this fact. This year has gone by so extremely fast!

You are such a joy. You are always smiling, laughing, and dancing, and you consistently make us smile. You have been dubbed "Tank" as you eat anything in sight. That and the fact that you're pretty solid :)

You are a climber and have taught your brother the benefit and art of climbing. He watches you and realizes that you can reach more when you climb so now he follows in your lead. You love music. You love to dance. You love to talk and tell us stories. You are really expressive. You love putting your fingers in our mouths. You love Mama's glasses and take them off all the time. You've learned to get pretty sneaky about it and you think it's so funny when you catch me off guard and steal them.

You laugh at everything. You are such a happy baby! You know 2 signs so far...more, and all done. (I really need to be more diligent in teaching you...) You are really laid back and it doesn't bother you too much when your brother takes toys from you. However, when it does bother you, we hear about it! You definitely know how to let us know that you're unhappy with something. Your favorite room in the house is the bathroom...the toilet paper roll is your friend :).

You LOVE climbing on the dishwasher door when it's open and we have finally just realized that it's impossible to load or unload the dishwasher without you being there to help! You are an expert walker now...you still fall occasionally but you rarely resort to crawling anymore.

You are the wildest sleeper I've ever seen and you refuse to sleep with any covers on you. You wake up around 5:30 and I bring you in to bed with us to nurse. You wind up ALL over that bed and in all different directions before you finally fall asleep. You have fallen off the bed more times than we can count but you learned really quickly how to fall feet first... You truly are a joy to us. You make us laugh constantly and we love seeing your little personality shine through. Welcome to your second year Asher!
