Favorite Thing

We keep one of Zack's guitars in our guest bedroom and somehow Asher always finds his way in there and he would play there for hours if I would let him! He LOVES the guitar. He loves music in general. Whenever music starts to play, he just bobs his head up and down and dances. It is so cute. Here are a few pictures of his favorite thing!

9 month check up

We went last week for our nine month check up! Dr Ebba said Asher was the picture of health! We're not proud or anything...haha. He weighed 19 pounds 12 ounces and was 27 3/4 inches long. He has grown so much. I thought he would weigh more because he is getting very heavy to carry around. He is growing up so fast and I can't believe in less than 3 months he will be a year old. Is it okay that this makes me sad? My baby is growing too fast!!! Some new things he can do since last month:

-He waves bye-bye and hello.

-He shakes his head whenever you say no, no. It started out being cute, but I am worried about when he starts to actually say no to us---uhoh!

-He pulls up on EVERYTHING!! He will let go and stand on his own, but only for a few seconds. No steps yet or anything. Maybe soon :) He did fall and bust his lip last week. It bled a little bit and he cried pretty hard, but only for a few minutes. He's a tough guy.

-He is eating table food and he loves it. There are some things he doesn't like to eat. He will spit them out of his mouth. He just learned to do that this past week. For the most part, he is a very good eater.

-He signs 'please' and will say 'ma ma ma' when he wants more. He says mama for a lot of things though..haha

-He loves, loves, loves Daphne. He giggles and screams at her whenever he sees her. Daphne doesn't love that so much. They will play together and it is so cute. You can tell Asher to get Daphne's toy and he will find her stuffed toy and hold it up for her to come get. It is too cute!

He started Day care this past week. He will only be going on Tuesdays and Wednesdays while I work. It was very sad for me. He has never been away from me for more than 24 hours. So I was a wreck when I dropped him off. I think I cried more than he did. He really seems to like it. I know he will love playing with his friends and it will be good for him to be in a social setting with other children. I just miss him while I'm at work. He is doing great, learning and growing and changing more and more every day. We are crazy about this little guy!! I'll post pictures soon!

Water Park!!

Last week Zack, Asher and I went to Laguna Beach with our students for camp. We did the music for camp and also chaperoned the trip. We had a great time!! While we were there we got to go to Shipwreck Island. It was Asher's first trip to a water park. He LOVED it. There was a kiddie area and he had a great time playing in the water. Asher did wonderfully on the drive. Because we were caravanning with a bus and 3 vans and two cars, it took us about 9 hours to get there, what normally only takes 6 hours. He slept most of the way and when he was awake he played and was very happy. He does so great in the car! It probably also helped that we got a new car seat--yay! He has a lot more room now and he seems really comfy! Anyways--here are some picutres from the water park.

He LOVED this tunnel with the water dripping out of it. He kept trying to catch the water. He would have stayed here for hours! He had so much fun!
