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!!

More

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".

Tortillas

The past few days we have had some extra tortillas around from various meals we have had. So we decided to give Asher some to see what he thought. Yeah, he really likes them! He eats them like they are going out of style! In fact, tonight he ate 1/2 of a large tortilla plus his fruits and vegetables. He is just like his mother!

Big boy sippy cup!

We switched Asher over to a big boy sippy cup on Monday because he was having a hard time getting the milk out of his other sippy cup. He was still on stage 1 for sippy cups and we moved him to stage 3 since he needed to and we also wanted to see if he could get more milk without choking on it.

Here are some pics of him with his big boy sippy cup.
