On the go!

Asher is 100% ready to walk!  Just can't do it independently yet, but that day will be here before we know it!  Asher's favorite activity this past week has been walking around the house holding on to our hands... and then cries anytime we stop.  We'll post a video here shortly... of him walking, not crying.  ;)  (I know, I know, we still haven't even gotten the crawling video up, but we will!) 

Anyway, today he pulled up on the laundry basket and started pushing it around the living room - until it started tipping over on him.  I put something heavy in it, but then he couldn't push it anymore.  :)    We're going to borrow one of those push around toys from a friend to try out for a while, cause it's killing our backs to help him walk.   We looked at them at Walmart last night and the ones they had were $45 and we decided it just wasn't worth buying him anything big... especially with a 1st birthday and Christmas just around the corner... and he'll probably be walking independently before then anyway, at the rate he's going! 

It's a blast though "following" him around the house and seeing where he wants to go.  He's not been brave enough to crawl out of our sight so far, so it's interesting to see where his two feet take him... most often to the bathtub.  Oh boy, does he LOVE bathtime!   Good thing we're not in the habit of leaving water in the tub... he's also become a fan of unrolling the toilet paper... who knew one could have so much fun in the bathroom. 

Anyway, I'm getting rambly.  Here's our pic of the week!  

 Scars healing up nicely, and yes, we know these socks are too small. ;)

Here's a pic of Asher doing a magic trick. :)

 

And here's his best rocker face to go with his rock star outfit from Great Grandma Scherer...  Grandma knows her boys... daddy secretly wishes he could be a rock star too! ;)
