Ash's Adventures

Summer is a busy time and Asher is a busy boy. He's been having a ball lately as we cart him to and fro. Daddy's got a softball game? Asher will gladly sit on the blanket all evening. Mom, Dad, and friends want to go to concert on the square two weeks in a row? Asher will enthusiastically eat everything in sight and then get in on some wrestling with Daddy and the White boys.

Asher is growing and learning everyday of course! He's recently discovered the piano and loves to play pretty music.He used a fork for the first time the other night. He actually picked up two rigatoni on his own and was able to finaggle it into his mouth!

He is saying a few words now....Mama, Dada, Up (pronounced "bup"), Go, and More ("mo").

And just last Saturday he started standing! He can stand for about 30 seconds now without holding onto anything. And he can sit down from that position. May little baby is growing up!

God Bless America

Asher's second 4th of July turned out to be a fantastic weekend. He enjoyed every bit of it even though he was off schedule and sleep deprived.

We started the day off with the parade. The sun was shining and it was already starting to get hot. Asher was a quiet observer for the most part, not scared of the sirens, and not particularly excited about anything.







After a quick stop at Grandma and Grandpa's house for lunch, we were out the door again, this time to the Skeeters water ski show. The lake was gorgeous but the sun was brutal. Especially on our fleece blanket! This was Asher's favorite part of the day because he got to share a dilly bar with Auntie and a fudgecicle with Grandma.














After the Skeeters we went back to G&G's for a cookout. The guys shot of fireworks in the yard "for Asher" and it was off to bed at a somewhat decent time.















The whole weekend was a blast! Asher loved seeing the family, playing in Grandma's cupboards, and rough housing with Dad!

We made it home just in time for Kyle's softball game.
