Well here we are again… our baby is one month closer to a year old!
- Diapers: size 3
- Clothes: 6-12 mos onesies/shirts, size 9-12 mos pants
- Weight: 20 lbs (according t0 the “unofficial” baby scale at church)
As the months seem to fall of the calendar I am having more and more fun with our little guy. Not to say that it hasn’t always been fun to be his mom… it’s just that the older he gets and the more his personality emerges interaction is that much more exciting and fun.
Asher “talks” to us so much more now! He is officially saying Dada (that started the week of Christmas). Otherwise there are lots of ba-ba’s and goo-goo ga-ga’s. All of them are music to our ears!
New Year’s day Asher finally cut his first tooth (and all God’s people said AMEN!) Even our cheerful, happy little guy had a few hard days as we waited for that tooth! He’s always been a drooler, but teething kicked it up big-time! As of right now he has three teeth poking through (and maybe more!) He’s awfully protective and won’t let me get in there to see them very much though. :)
Asher is still an awesome eater! He eats two “meals” a day and is still nursing 4-5 times a day. We tried some itty bitty pieces of cantaloupe but he I think they were too slippery for him to chew. He double-fists his puffs and seems to especially love the peach flavor (and so do I!) ha! I’m not sure how he feels about the sippy cup with water, I think he mostly just likes chewing on it.
Asher has started to show more preference for me and Chris – and sometimes he won’t go as easily to other people. Although… Asher went to the nursery for the first time this month while I was at MOPS and he did a great job! When I picked him up the workers said, “He’s the happiest baby!” :) (We think so!)
Christmas came at the PERFECT time for Asher. He is at a fun age of wanting to play and engage and now he has a million fun new toys to keep him busy! Asher also got several new books (hooray!) for Christmas. He loves to be read to and listens intently to every story.
Most of the new toys play music so something new we’ve noticed is that Asher likes to “dance” to the music. It’s SO cute to see him stop playing to rock back and forth and shake his booty!
Asher seems to have really gotten the hang of going down to sleep in his crib for naps and at bedtime. He no longer cries or fusses when I lay him down… sometimes he “talks” for quite a while however!
Asher, every day with you is a gift. I am thankful for every moment I get to spend with you! You are always so happy and sweet. You like to laugh and you love to snuggle (especially when we’re reading books before nap or bedtime). Daddy can’t wait to get home from work each day and play with you. Often he’s home to get you up from your nap and I always hear him tell you how much he missed you during the day! We keep hoping he’ll have a snow day and get to stay home with us right?! :)
I just had to share these pictures too! Asher kept looking down for his 8 month picture. I have a zillion just like this:
But now you can see why:
Daisy is NEVER far away from her buddy during the day. :)
