Here he was a month ago...
And here he is today!
Believe it or not, I wrote this post last night, so I wouldn't forget to do it today, and then I go and forget to take the picture until it was almost bedtime, drool-covered, crazy hair, bizarre expression and completely undesiring to sit still. You're welcome for the chuckle. :) That was the ONLY pic I could get of him looking at me! This is what the rest looked like...
And I've just convinced myself 100% that it's beyond time for his 1st hair cut!
Anyway, happy 1/2 birthday, buddy! 18 months today! :)
After mommy and daddy, Asher's top three loves include:
- Anything to do with dogs.
2. Music, especially guitars.
He still loves to dance, pretends anything and everything is a guitar, strums his belly and random objects often, toots on his hand like a trumpet, loves playing our piano, adores watching daddy play guitar, gets a huge smile on his face when he hears music. What else to say... it's just a fave.
3. Balls, and throwing things.
Asher will easily spend half the day playing with balls. Rolling, throwing, kicking, dropping off the back of the couch, throwing out the door, dropping them on my face when I accidently fall asleep on the floor next to him playing (it was a real baseball, and hurt pretty badly, in fact.) But throwing all things are a big favorite right now. Throwing things down the stairs, off his highchair, across the room... maybe he'll be a pitcher someday... that is if he's not a musician. ;)
Rising quickly in his interests also include cars, being outside, and there's the old standby - bath time! But what kid doesn't like bathtime and being outside??? :)
Our little guy is always on the go. Walking has turned to running (but after seeing our two year old neighbor running the other day, Asher's still very much toddling... just faster than he used to.) He's into everything and loves to explore, but his little personality is coming out more and more. He does not like touching the grass, he will not touch playdough or clay, he's fairly timid and often will take some time to warm up to new people and places (there are of course exceptions that make no sense to me, but as a general rule, he's a slow warmer upper), he likes his hands clean, he took a long while to warm up to stickers--- goopy, scratchy, itchy, slimy textures just don't interest him at this point in his little life. But that's Eric for you too. :) Eric's mom says he would come in from playing as a little boy several times to wash his hands. I've always thought he was a bit of a germaphobe... but must just be a different personality than my own. :) Eric still won't walk barefoot in the grass or sand if he can help it and would much prefer socks and shoes over sandals, whereas I'm barefoot most of the summer. It seems our little boy is taking after his daddy in more than looks alone. It'll be interesting to see how he takes after me as he grows, because we don't see a whole lot at present. :)
Anyway, it's getting late and I'm drawing a blank, so that'll have to do for now.
We sure love him! :)
