Asher is 1!

Asher celebrated his first birthday with a BBQ in our back yard. He was having an awesome time until we put on his hat. He cheered right back up though when we gave him his very own cake and let him open presents.

It has been quite a difference having a baby boy. He loves getting dirty and his favorite toys are balls and cars. He loves to chase his sisters and tease them and he is quite the dare devil when it comes to bath time. If you don't keep a hand on him at all times, then he is going under. I can't wait to see what the next year brings!

Asher Quirks

You may think that a 9 month old can't have many quirks, but Asher is already off to a great start.

1. When Asher really wants something he puckers up his lips to get them closer to what he wants. It is like he is trying to vacuum stuff up with his mouth.

2.Asher has to cover his head with his blankets when he sleeps and rub them between his finger.

3. When he is excited he does this crazy head shake and laughs. I love it.

4. He hates baby food. He only wants to eat what you are eating and if you give him and M&M he will literally laugh out loud with joy. ( I know, my 8 month old should not even know what an M&M tastes like, but when you are on a 5 hour car ride and he is screaming from the back seat you will do whatever it takes.)

5. He can tell when his sisters are doing something fun (like swimming) and he will not give up until you let him join them. I am sure he will be torturing them like only a brother can as soon as he can keep up with them.

6. Recently Asher got a cold, and I know this is kind of gross, but he loves to lick his own snot. He will stick his tongue clear up and touch his nose to get it. It makes me gag just a little bit.
