Like most kids, Asher absolutely loves to play in the tub when he gets a bath! He could be screaming and be cranky all day, but when it comes to bathtime, he really enjoys it. It is so awesome to see him be a boy! He is all boy and I love it!
In the tub, he has quite a bit of toys to play with. He has 2 rubber ducks and a rubber cow as well as a lot of plastic cups to play with. And of course, HE LOVES TO SPLASH!!! We capture a video of him having a ball in the tub. Enjoy!

Crawling Under
Well... Asher has another thing he likes to do! He likes to crawl under things, like his musical table. He thinks it is also the neatest thing. He is at that stage where he is crawling through things and under them. It is fun to keep watching him do it again, and again, and again! Here are a few pics of him crawling under his table!
Crawling Through
Asher absolutely loves to crawl in things and through them. He thinks it is the coolest thing to crawl in and through his exersaucer! Below we snapped a few pictures of him crawling "in" and "through" the exersaucer. It was cracking us up watching him do this! He would crawl through his exersaucer and then do it again and again. Enjoy!

Asher the Climber
Since Asher has been crawling for 2 months now, he has decided that crawling is getting boring. His big thing now is to try to climb up on you. It is absolutely hilarious! If you are sitting on the floor with him, he will eventually try to climb up on you! It is so much fun to watch. You know what, he is starting to get pretty good at it. I firmly believe that if we put him at the bottom of the stairs, he would climb them all the way up to the top. Next time you see him he just might be climbing on you!

Asher the Explorer
Asher has decided to crawl around everywhere in our family room and try to get to everything, even Bailey's bed. He does not let anything get in the way, even crawling under the swing. He just pushes and shoves everything out of his way to get to what he wants to. It is very fun to watch and frustrating at the same time. Soon he will be walking all over the place and getting into more stuff!
Touchdown!

Cool article to read
For those sports fans, you know that Thursday is "the game" for college football as Oklahoma takes on Florida. I found an article on ESPN's website regarding Tim Tebow. Now, I really do not like the Florida Gators, but I have come to like Tim Tebow and his message. He is an amazing Godly man! I hope you enjoy reading the article. Click here to read the article.

1st Joint Bleed
Well... Asher had his first joint bleed on Wed. night/Thursday morning. His joint bleed is in his left ankle. We noticed someting wrong on Thursday morning when he would not put any weight on his left foot. We both knew what it might be. So we moved his left foot up and down, like stepping on the gas pedal. Asher was screaming and we knew that meant a joint bleed.
So, that meant we needed to head to the ER at Blank in Des Moines. This experience was actually a very good experience. The nurses and doctors were excellent! He got his factor about an hour after we got there. It took the nurses 5 tries to start an IV, compared to the 13 tries last time he had to have factor.
Yesterday we called the HTC in Iowa City and Tammy said that he would need more factor treatments even through the weekend. So instead of having to go to the ER yesterday we have setup home health care through a company in Urbandale. A nurse comes in and starts an IV and gives him the factor. It is nice because it is at home and not in the ER, so the surroundings are better for Asher.
So, we had our 1st treatment at home yesterday and it was a very, very good experience. The nurse we had was awesome! She got an IV started on the 1st try!! Praise the Lord! Asher did great through the experience.
Today, Asher will be getting more factor and might need to have more factor tomorrow. We praise God that there is medication to help him through these dificult times. We hope and pray he does not get any more joint bleeds. But if he does, we will be ready to help him out.

Christmas at Grandma & Grandpa's
Christmas was a lot of fun at Grandma & Grandpa's house! Asher had tons of fun with his Grandpa Ron! Whenever you mentioned Grandpa Ron by name, Asher smiled! Asher did pretty good sleeping there, dispite the lack of afternoon naps. We also went to Great Aunt Alice's house and had a good time there as well. Here are some pics! Enjoy!
