We have a Zoo?

I was asked by a friend to go the zoo. My first response was "we have a zoo?" Yes we do! It is quite small but it is nice. Asher had a lot of fun looking at all the animals. They were really close which was neat. We went with two other ladies and two other kids. He got along with everyone except in the car. It was an hour and half drive and both ways the kids screamed, mainly Asher. For some reason he will cry if another child is crying. It started about a month or so ago, I'm hoping he will grow out of it very soon!

We also went the county fair on friday with another friend. That was a lot of fun as well. He was able to see cattle, bunnys, roosters, turkeys, chickens, sheep, goats, horses and puppies. He took it all in seemed to enjoy it.

He has been growing so much! He is walking so well that he is almost able to run. It sounds like he is trying to say more words like Hi and Thank you. He is feeding himself most of the time (yeah!). He can throw the ball to you (which is super fun). He loves to play with his music toys such as his little piano and maracas. Asher has 6 teeth now and it looks like he is getting two more. I can not wait until teething is over. My little guy does not take teething well. His favorite food is apples (just like his daddy!). I just love watching him grow everyday, its so fun!

Asher was also able to watch his first Patriots game of the season with his dad. Daddy makes sure he has his Patriots jersey and hat on, no excuses! They were so cute sitting together. I can't wait till Asher understands whats going on. We will have a blast as a family watching the games.

In a couple of weeks is his first birthday. We can't believe time has gone by that fast. It has been such a blessing to have Asher in our lives. He has changed us for the better and we can't imagine our lives without him. I can't wait to see him grow and change. I'm so glad the Lord picked us to be his parents!

I hope you all had a wonderful day and I will post again soon with more pictures!

Oh Canada!

We have been back from Canada for over a week now and I finally have a few moments to post the pics! We had a wonderful time with grampy and grammy. Asher was able to do a lot of stuff that he can't at home. He was able to swing for the first time, which he loved! He was able to walk on really soft grass, which he hated;) It was so fun to go outside during the day! It always to hot at home to do this so we really enjoyed this part. Grammy bought a pool for him to play in, that was fun to watch. We would spread a blanket out and Asher would sit on that and not get off because he didn't want to touch the grass!

His uncle Brad was able to come for a short visit as well. Thank you so much Brad for taking time for us, we really appreciated it!

Grammy and grampy were able to spend lots of time with him. He mowed the lawn with grampy and walked around the yard with grammy. He was able to meet a lot of his aunts and uncles and his great grampy! He is one lucky kid to have wonderful family on both sides. Grammy had a BBQ for us the night before we left. There was yummy food and good company. We had a great time and can't wait to go back!

Here are some more pictures taken from the trip.
