What a difference a haircut makes!

Before we went to AL I cut Ashers hair. I knew it was time when I was getting more comments about what a "pretty girl" he was. The last straw was when the pediatrician called him a girl; don't they look at the charts beforehand??? Anyways since I cut his hair not one person has called him a girl! Yeah! So here are the before and afters:

Pay no attention to all of the computer mess on the last pic!

Asher feel asleep one day in a weird position so I snapped a pic:

Asher has gotten really good at standing at his gate, rattling it and screaming. That is his favorite thing to do in his room. He could care less about the toys or us.

I love his face in the second picture!

Sweet Home Alabama....

Asher and I were able to go visit April in Alabama. We had the best time! April is 9 months pregnant and I was really hoping I would get to meet Ashlyn before we left. That's OK though, that just means they have to come out to us before the end of the year!

Asher grew leaps and bounds with Preston around showing him the ropes. It was so neat to see them interact. Preston was so so sweet with Asher and it just made me smile.

April is always a wonderful host. She made us feel welcome and comfortable. We talked and ate as much food as possible. I was able to meet her friends, and boy is she lucky;) They are all wonderful people.

It was nice to see grass and trees again! They have a beautiful home and they live in a beautiful area. I was able to see Pete for two days which was great. Asher just loved Pete and couldn't get enough of him. Poor Pete had two boys competing for his attention. He did a great job entertaining them both! I just can't say enough nice things about the visit.

We did have to stay an extra day because my flight was delayed and they wanted me to spend 8 hours in an airport. I'm pretty sure they were crazy! We stayed an extra day so I could get better flights.

Asher is now pulling himself up on everything and standing. We are in a lot of trouble! He is eating lots of food and has even started on the gerber snacks (thanks april!). He has his high chair now (thanks grammy!) and its much easier to feed him. I found out that he likes the big boy toys (thanks preston!) so Ry and I had to go to Target and buy some more toys for him. April will be getting a package full of baby toys very soon;) He is getting very vocal. If you don't feed him fast enough he yells at you. He is teething like crazy, so we may see some teeth very soon. There is more but I can't think of it right now.

I will post more today or tomorrow because I have pics and video to share.

Thank you April, Pete and Preston for a wonderful visit!!!!

A lot has happened!

I haven't written in a while because things have been soooo busy here. Asher has changed so much in the past two weeks. Its madness! Two weeks ago on a wednesday Asher just decided he was going to start sitting unassisted. So now he can sit all by himself without being propped up. He also started crawling around the same time. Below is a video of him in the first couple of days of crawling. Now he is like lightning! He has so much energy, its tiring! He just goes and goes and goes.

He has been eating more and more food. He can now eat avocados, bananas, apples and sweet potatos. His favorite is apples. If we don't feed him apples fast enough he yells at us!

He has also been pulling himself up and standing. Yesterday I watched as he pulled himself up by the couch and was trying to grab a toy off of it. I am just loving watching him figure things out.

He is still teething but no teeth:( I can't wait for this to be over.

We are leaving tomorrow to go see April in AL. We are very excited! Please pray that Asher does well on the planes. I am just hoping that he sleeps and plays quietly. I bet you are all laughing about now...... Anyways I will get to see Preston again (YEAH!) and April will get to meet Asher (YEAH!). I will take lots of video and pictures and report on how much fun we had.

I will be posting photos later today. We are going to cut Ashers hair. Its a must! He keeps getting called a girl, even wearing all blue. When he has a hat on there is no issues. His hair is just so long. I will do before and after so you can see the transformation.

Thats it for now! Check back for those pictures!
