I love to walk!!!!

Asher is definitely at the stage where he would rather walk to where he wants to go instead of crawling!! It is really fun to experience and watch him as he is doing this. Of course he falls on his knees and butt and makes us cringe a little because we know that he will have to have an infusion from time to time, but that is life with a child with hemophilia. Now, he is not walking all the time, but I would consider him walking. He is getting pretty good at walking. He will take a few steps and then stop, and take a few more steps . He has really good balance while he is walking.

One thing he absolutely loves to do now is walk towards Bailey's pillow and plop down on it. He thinks this is the best thing to do and laughs as he is doing it! He loves Bailey's pillow or anything soft to lay on. Anyway, he is having fun experiencing this stage of his live and so are we!

Splish Splash, I was taking a bath!

Asher sure does love bathtime! In fact, when we say, 'should we get a bath?' he says 'ba'! it is really cool to see and hear! After he says, ba he crawls for the gate on his wall and then after we open it, he crawls as fast as he can towards the stairs. And, of course, he is laughing and having at the same time.

Since he loves his bathtime so much, we decided to take some pics of him having fun. Julie spiked his hair and we got some pics of him with spiked hair. Also, I got some pics of him splashing and having fun! Enjoy!

No more milk bottle

Last night was the first night that we did not give Asher a bottle of milk before he goes down for bed. He could tell that something was different because it was out of his routine. We weren't sure how the night was going to go. When Julie put him down in his crib, he watched her leave his room and then started screaming, which he hardly ever does. But eventually he calmed himself down and put himself to sleep. He even slept through the night without having his milk before going to bed. We are so proud of him!! Way to go AsherMan!!!

Moooooooo

As you read earlier, Asher can do what a snake says. So a few days ago we were playing with Asher. He and I were playing with his guitar, which also makes animal noises. I made the guitar play the 'moo' sound. After I did this a few times in a row, Asher started to mimic the noise. So now we can say, what's a cow say? and he will say 'ooooo'. It is funny! We captured this video of him saying 'oooooo' and doing the snake. Enjoy!

What's a snake say?

We have been trying to teach Asher sounds by saying what does a snake say? It is absolutely hilarious what he does when we ask him that question. What Asher does is he sticks his tongue in and out fast! And he loves to do it when we ask him. It took us awhile to finally get it on video and here it is. It is not the greatest video, but you can see him doing it. Enjoy!

Droopy Drawers

Since Asher has been walking around the furniture for 6 months or so, sometimes he steps on his pants. Or in this case, a lot!! Julie snapped some pics of Asher and him having some problems keeping his pants up!

Enjoy and laugh!!

Asher is seriously eating us out of house!!! Every time we eat a meal together he can not get enough to eat! He just keeps eating and eating and eating! Is this normal? It sure must be. The cool thing about this is that he is learning how to sign "more". Tonight we were in Des Moines and when we were eating he would sign "more" and we would give him more french fries. It was really cool! He already knows the sign for milk, so next up might be "please".
