Asher is almost 1 year old! I can't believe it! This year has gone by so quickly. I enjoy my little Bub more than I could ever have imagined. Last night, Dallas and I were looking back at pictures and videos of him throughout this last year. It's amazing how much he's changed and grown and yet, he's still that same little bitty baby! (Although not so little bitty anymore!)
Here is what he has been up to this year!
Asher is the happiest, sweetest little man! He started laughing out loud around 8 weeks and has been itching to laugh every since. There is nothing that boy loves more than having fun, smiling, and laughing at anything! He has even fallen over backward laughing at times. He also, loves to be sweet. Whether it's Dallas and I, Ranger, or even his stuffed animals he is always good for a hug, and maybe even a big kisser! (Beware of the kissers, they are pretty slobbery, but so cute!) He loves to put his head on our shoulders or hold our hands when he is just sitting looking at things. Out and about, he is always smiling and waving at people around us. He is pretty sure they are all there just to see him anyway, haha.
Asher is a traveling little boy. With both of our families living far away from us we have taken so many trips here and there throughout this year with him and many of them have come here on different occasions. We also took him camping back in September, he loves being outdoors.
Asher loves to move! Even before he was born, he was a mover. I was constantly getting kicked and punched from the inside out when I was carrying him and he hasn't ever stopped! He is now a walking, and even occasionally a running, little one. Everyone comments how busy he is when they are around him for any length of time. He's always exploring things or carrying things around. Dallas and Asher wrestle and run around constantly when they are together. Asher thinks his dad is a big jungle gym most of the time, haha!
Asher is a BIG eater! He loves food! (If you haven't noticed from looking at him.) There are maybe 2 things that he has turned down in his little life, Avocados and Corn tortillas (really who can blame him?). Everything else has been taken quickly and easily.
Asher is likes to talk. He is only saying a few actual words, like mama, dada, uh-oh, Ranger (or his interpretation of Ranger at least), hi, and bye-bye, but he is always babbling about something and pointing at things these days.
There are tons of other things I could write about him, of course, but I will stop here since not everyone is head over heals in love with him like I am, haha! I will talk about him for hours on end if I don't rein it in. All in all, he's been a gift from God that I never imagined and I'm so thankful for everyday of his life. And, I just know he's going to be a wonderful big brother come October! :)
BTW, if you haven't noticed, the 366 project flopped, haha. We definitely take lots of pics, at least one a week, but honestly, I just kept forgetting till like 9 or 10 at night and no one wants random, end of the day photos all the time! Oh well, guess it wasn't my thing!
