We have to do this AGAIN, mom???

We've been out of town today so we took a real quick photo shoot of a borderline fussy baby before we left. :)  At least we posted a bunch of videos the other day so you can watch (or re-watch) those if you want a little more from today's weekly picture post. :)

Asher continues to get more fun all the time.  He's starting to mimic us (clapping, among other gestures- pointing, tapping his fingernails on the table, etc.) He adds more consonants to his vocabulary every day, it actually sounds like he's talking half the time (if only we could understand him!), and as you saw in the video, he's discovering VOLUME!  

After being a VERY stationary baby for the last 8 months he is finally starting to move of his own accord - attempting to pull up on things, getting up on his knees, etc.  It's so fun to see, but also strikes a little bit of terror in my heart wondering how I'm going to adjust to a mobile child after being a little spoiled to still be able to plop my 8 month old down on the floor and not worry about him going anywhere when I'm in the shower.  We'll figure out how to adjust somehow.  :)

Anyway, here's his pic! 

Against tradion of the weekly picture post, I just couldn't help not posting this pic we took last night... pure JOY!  :)  Thanks Aunt Heidi for passing down your kids' lamb chair to us.  It's a new fave! :)
