Happy First Birthday Asher!

Our little Asher turned one this week! What a fast year it was! Asher was such a happy baby throughout his first year, and he continues to bring us lots of joy as we get to see more and more of his personality developing.

Some of our favorite things about him are: his squeals of joy when he "wrestles" with daddy and Leah and Wyatt. We love his crazy hair. We love his snuggles and his slobbery kisses. Lucy loves how frequently he feeds her from his high chair. We never stop laughing about how sometimes he randomly starts walking backwards and laughing about it like it is the funniest thing that has ever happened. When Ryan comes home from work he immediately motors over to him with his arms out yelling "Daaaaah! Daaah!"

The things Asher most enjoys these days are: emptying Kleenex boxes tissue by tissue, emptying the mini-fridge where we store juice boxes and other assorted beverages, unraveling toilet paper, playing in Lucy's water bowl, climbing, sitting in laundry baskets, emptying the pantry, peek-a-boo, waving goodbye, and playing the kazoo. (He's quite good!)

Here are some b-day pics of our little Tank!

3 little monkeys!

These three are going to have lots of fun together! (And probably cause a decent amount of trouble! )

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
