On January 11th, Asher turned 7 months old!
Here are some things Ash is up to.
Food, Glorious Food!!
Asher's top food picks!! (Ok so they are Asher's only choices so
far.)
6. Green beans- tried
on Dec 19th ; we had tears after this one once, so I’d say it’s a
distant 6th place. Don't worry though, he was happy again in no time!
5. Peas- tried on Dec
15th
4. Yellow squash- tried
on Dec 26th
3. Prunes- tried
Jan 8th
2. Avocado- tried
on Dec 28th
1. Bananas and cereal-
tried Dec 11th
Asher really doesn’t seem all that interested in food yet. Now
don’t get me wrong, he loves to eat, but leaves his joy for his bottle. Trust me, he’s in the upper 60s when it
comes to his weight percentile, so he’s not lacking overall. So far he has liked avocados the best. Yet, I’m pretty sure bananas are still his favorite
though.
Since he turned 6-months, he’s done a great napping in the
pack-and-play. Many 2+ hour naps a
day. I guess he likes separate sleeping
areas for day and night.
Asher still loves books and thinks Sandra Boynton books are the
best!! Thanks to Christmas
presents, we have added more to his collection.
He is in all 9-month jammies and still some 6 and 6-9 month
clothes.
Yet his biggest accomplishment is cutting his first tooth!
We could feel it on December 23rd.
Overall, the whole teething thing hasn’t been terrible, but I know we
are just beginning. I just feel so
bad for him when I know his mouth hurts.
We keep plenty of toys around for him to chew on and I give him teething
tablets as well. He got tooth #2 around
the 4th of January!!
Thanks to Auntie Belinda, Asher has a new bathtub and loves
it! He is really getting into
playing with bath toys.
Rollin in my stroller. Ash graduated to a big boy stroller before Christmas. I was having
a tough time carrying him in the carrier and he was just getting too darn big
for it. Man this kid is growing! Next stop- new car seat.
He took his first ride in a grocery cart. He loved it and loved chewing on
the strap of the cart cover. I love that even though he has access to toys the
safety strap is his favorite. I forgot to take a picture of this, so that
will be coming soon.
Asher is becoming very observant. He loves to really check things out and also to touch
them. He seems fascinated by the
textures of things. Whether it’s
my face or the bark of a tree, he reaches out and wants to explore. Good job Moo-Man!
We took another trip to California the first of the year. My Grandma, Leone Grover, went to Heaven to join my grandpa right before Christmas. Exactly 3 months to the day after he passed. We are sad and miss her very much, yet cherish the times we have together as an extended family with my aunt, uncle and cousins.

On to the fun stuff:
New Year's Day fun.
He loves to go the the park in our neighborhood and swing.
Tom Cruise in Risky Business ain't got nothing on Asher!!
