Oh how precious a smile is....

Asher is growing both physically and mentally. He has been smiling and even giggling a little. We are just loving every minute of it. He has even found out how to yell at us. Ryan was holding him the other day and Asher spit out his pacifier and yelled. Then he just stared at Ryan.

Yesterday we were all laying on our bed talking. I started singing and Asher starts smiling and cooing. As soon as I stopped singing he stopped smiling. I start singing again and he starts smiling and cooing. So either he enjoys my voice or I shouldn't even think about American Idol. Either way we were so excited to see him interacting with us.

He is also grabbing things. Two weeks ago he was able to hold a rattle. The other day I left him on the floor with some small finger puppets. I ran to get some water and when I came back he was holding one of them. Below is a picture of him during that play time and with the little toy he picked up.

I am trying to get a picture of him smiling but so far no dice. I never have my camera close when he does cute things. I will try to do better, I promise!
