Asher’s Adventures

It happened yesterday!  Asher started walking!  He’s been taking a few wobbly steps here and there.  So cute!

Christmas pictures, 10-month old pictures, and a walking video (I hope) to follow as soon as I can find anything in this house…….

Asher really likes to eat now!  I try to feed him once during each of his awake times which is about 3 times a day.  Usually this is bananas, bread, avocado, carrots…  And today he ate mango for the first time.  He liked it but could only handle a small amount.  I think it was a strong and new taste for him but he’ll end up liking it fine.  I have a couple bananas frozen that I’m going to have him work on to relieve any teething discomfort.  I guess next I’ll try papaya and maybe some peas or green beans or something.  But you’re only supposed to introduce 1 new food a week so if he has an allergic reaction you know what caused it.  This week, therefore, is mangoes.  This is actually a lot of fun (besides the green and orange “goo” than ends up on the floor, walls, baby, parents…)

Asher’s first tooth!  Asher’s first tooth!  It broke through the skin yesterday!  I’m such a proud mommy!

Now the game is…

Lift up the bottom of mommy’s shirt and play with her belly button.

He likes this game so much that he SCREAMS when mommy puts her shirt back down. 

AS IF!?

It’s MY belly button!  Thank you very much!

Just this week Asher has started eating.  I mean really eating.  Now I realize how much I was “forcing the issue” even when I thought I wasn’t.  Now he LOVES to eat.  Yay!  Yesterday he ate a piece of bread, a carrot, and a banana (along with his regular nursings). 

And today…

He had his first big boy poo!!  Yay!!!

My job has just changed dramatically…

Can you believe it!?  Time is flying! 

Here’s Asher getting a bath in a big bowl we actually use to take clean laundry to/from the line.  He’s not complaining!

This moving, not having power, and looking for a home all at the same time really has me thrown off my blogging game.  I have pictures of Asher that I need to post.

CUTE!

In other baby news, we’re finally teething!  I’m just sure of it!  His little bottom gums seem to be bulging.  I don’t know what they look like because he won’t let me get a good peek but I can feel a bump down there. 

I’ll keep you posted on this exciting news!  (And why does it seem I’m the only one so extremely excited about this???)

Well I finally found a foolproof way to entertain Asher - move to a new house.  Too bad it won’t be happening that often!  (too bad for him - not so bad for us!) 

He is totally loving the boxes and suitcases sitting around everywhere.  He is loving the fridge and oven sitting in a different place giving him a little obstacle course to crawl through.  He is loving the chairs displaced so he can move them around.  He gets particularly frustrated when he has pushed the chair to a stopping point (up against a wall for example) and it won’t go any further.  He’s something else!

And I’d love to be taking pictures but:

1) the batteries in my little camera are dead

2) i don’t know where Jonathan’s big camera is

3) i can’t figure out how to use the camcorder to take pictures

And did I mention Asher is climbing all over everything?  Yes, I must figure out how to take pictures!

Asher turns 9 months old (!) on Thursday.  I thought I’d take this opportunity to update his weight/length…

He is now 22 pounds and 28 inches! 

His infant car seat is supposed to be used for the first year of life and goes up to 30 pounds/30 inches.  He’s only 2 inches and/or 8 pounds from being out of it!  I wonder if he’ll hold off until he’s 1 year old… 

He’ll be so much happier in the next seat so I’m looking forward to the change.  He’s ready to sit up, face forward, and see what’s going on in the world.  Only 3 more months, only 3 more months, only 3 more months…
