Asher Updates...

Could he look any more excited about his birthday!?!



A little assistance since fire is a "no touch."

Our sleepy boy after an eventful day...

Asher had an amazing birthday and he was surrounded by many great family and friends. Christmas was also fun as Asher is quite more interactive than he was last Christmas at 6 days old! Every morning when I get him out of his crib I'm excited to see how he's changed. It seriously seems like he changes that often! He recognizes SO many words now. I started making a list and then wondered if it was really worth it because it seems to grow every few hours. His spoken language is still much more limited compared to what he understands and signs. Of course, he is only 1 year old! I know, I will appreciate each stage an not waste it while looking forward to the next.

My mom is Asher's personal comedian. Seriously, she can get him to laugh like no other. Well, her latest interaction involved karate chopping while saying, "hiyah!" Oh did he pick that up like the little sponge that he is. He's chopping everything and saying, "yah!" I even tried to hand him a toy the other day and had it chopped out of my hand with a, "yah!" Oh, thanks mom! No, I'm hoping that just as easily as it was learned, he will forget about it. Although, it is quite cute while it lasts. Kristen
