14 months

I know, I know, it's been a really long time since we've posted. Our little guy really has been keeping us busy!  But... here we are today!  :)  Can you believe Asher is 14 months old already?!

Have you missed his pics in the yellow chair? The long wait is over. Feast your eyes on our cutey pie.

 
Did you note all the teeth above?! :)  Here he is with a little more normalish face. :)    

 
And, the yellow chair pics are getting a little more dangerous than they used to be, as you can see below.
 

Well the biggest news, I guess, is that our little guy is finally on the go.  He started walking about 2 weeks ago, and is getting braver every day.  Walking a little farther before falling, stepping out more often of his own initiative from the furniture and what not.  It's a lot of fun to see him toddling into the kitchen to find me.  It surprises me everytime, because it's still so new, and because more often than not, he still chooses to crawl.  But, man, is he a super fast crawler!  :)   We'll post a video tomorrow of him walking! ( I was going to post it tonight but it's too late to wait on the download.) So check back then!
 
He's climbing the scale, weighing in at 23.5 lbs at his last Dr's visit a couple weeks ago.
 
He still jabbers ALL the time.   But he now is attempting real words... emphasis on attempting.  "Da" now stands for light, ball, and sock.  We only know what he's referring to by looking at what he's pointing at.  His favorite activity these days is turning light switches on and off, so when I'm carrying him up and down the stairs its a constant string of "da, da, da" and straining to reach the light.  He would do it all day if I'd let him.    He tries to put on his own socks and shoes, without much success but he at least knows where they go.  He understands soo much these days.  When I'm talking about his pjs, he grabs them and looks down at them.  Our fave is when we say "your hair looks sooo nice," he runs his hand across his head.  So cute! :)
 
I think I mentioned that he now feeds himself most everything, he keeps getting better and better with his spoon.  He eats about anything and everything!  He's a great little eater.  He's been weaned since Christmas and it was super smooth and easy for him.  He LOVES his whole milk! :) 
 
Anyway,  Eric's dragging me off to bed. ;)  Sooo, if there's anything I've forgotten I'll finish up tomorrow with the walking video.
