Asher turns 1!

Mr. Asher turned 1, oh, over a month ago. Life has been so busy I haven't had a chance to post about it. His birthday was the during the week between the two weddings, so his actual birthday was kind of in the midst of doing laundry and planning and packing for the next trip.

The morning of his first birthday.

Excited about his oatmeal for breakfast. Ha!

He weighs about 18lbs.

He wears 9-12 month clothes and size 3 shoes. 

He says Dada, Mama, Yaya (my mom), sissy, baba (bottle), bye bye, hey and maybe a few other words. 

He folds his hands when we say it's time to pray.

He takes a 5-10 steps on his own and walks everywhere pushing things, but hasn't built up the courage to take off really walking.

He and Levi are sleeping in the same room full time now (naps and night time).

He loves bathtime.

He plays well independently. 

He's finally getting over his very clingy to momma stage. Very thankful to be able to leave him with the babysitter or grandparent's and him not scream the entire time.

He still takes 2 naps each day and sleeps about 12 hours at night.

We had a little family party for him on the Sunday night after the second wedding. 

*Major mommy fail - I was holding the cupcake with the lit candle and we were about to sing to him. I asked my brother-in-law to take some pictures on my phone. I got distracted and looked away from Asher and the cupcake when I was telling my bro-in-law the security code on my phone, and Asher grabbed the candle and burned his little hand. I felt so bad! Thankfully my sister doused his hand in lavender oil and it didn't even blister. 

He didn't want anything to do with his cupcake right away, but he warmed up to it after awhile.

Yum!

Love this sweet little guy!
