Big helper

Asher was Mommy's big helper yesterday. I asked him to get me one of baby Evie's diapers and he did! It took a little bit of prompting and when he handed it to me only his side faced me so he was able to quickly run away from me as soon as the diapers reached my hand. I think it was because he was pretty sure it was Evie's diaper but he wasn't going to take any chances. I think the funniest part was that today when I called my mom and told her about how he'd helped out yesterday he heard part of what I was saying and handed me one of Evie's diapers.
Asher also likes to be a big helper by giving Evie a plug. Most the time Evie is solidly asleep so she doesn't even notice. Sometimes though he is a little rough trying to make sure the plug gets into her mouth and she stirrs a bit. This is normally when I tell Asher thanks  helping and take the plug.
My visiting teachers husband was also a big helper. He changed their 18 month old son unused the closest diaper he could find. So when my vt got home he said "we need diapers that fit!" She looked around to find that he'd used a size 1 diaper, that was for a gift for Evie on their son who normally wears a size 4. Just hearing this made my day even if it made it so the package was open and missing a diaper.

 

Here is a picture of the toys Asher tried giving Evie during nap time. I heard him go to the bassinet and say baby she stirred a little bit but it wasn't until later that I realized he gave her toys to play with.

Modeling

This cute little fella could be a model one day. The picture itself could use a little work but Asher is just as cute as can be.

My Little Climber

Today Asher was so stinkin' cute! I left him alone for a little bit in the Living Room and a little while later he happily called out "Momma!" and then continued to jabber away.
I replied by saying "Oh, really?"
"Ya" he replied. Soon after I went into the living room and figured out what he was trying to tell me. He had climbed up to a standing position by using the couch.
"You're such a big boy!" I told him
Asher just beamed and then told me "I yuv you."
I then of course told him "I love you too."

Asher is seriously growing up way to fast! He's 9 months old now and the cutest sweetest little thing. Most people don't believe that he's talking but when he does they are shocked. I'm surprised at his ability to hold a conversation, even if some of it still sounds like gibberish, but I guess those turn taking games have payed off. Asher is starting to get into everything! He can get around quite well my army crawling and is starting to do a true crawl. He recently also figured out how to get from a laying position to a sitting position and back again. But his proudest accomplishment is learning how to set to a standing position with the objects around him. He REALLY wants to walk and be just like a big boy.
Asher loves music. He's learned a lot from going to his Aunt Kay's institute performances. In Dec he watched a group clogging and learned to dance from that. Recently during the spring show he saw some swing dancing and "twirled" as he danced along with the swing dancers. Asher also loves to sing. When he sings along he's really good at staying in tune. He loves playing in water and singing in the shower. His favorite things to do are sing into hollow objects to hear how they sound, get tickled, and jump on the tramp. He's started to notice boys and loves to look up to the males in his life, especially Daddy, Grandpa and Papa.

Look At How He's Grown!

Just a few days old
