Day 14--Happy Birthday Asher!

Asher turned one today! My how a year has passed! He is such a special little guy, and brings us more joy, love, and lessons on patience then we could have ever imagined! Our family is truly blessed by his presence.

Asher at One:

Loves to climb and stand on the play furniture and yell.

Insists on pulling out my breakables in the kitchen cabinets--latches please!

Finds pleasure in attacking Brooklynn's blanket as she drags it behind her. It makes him laugh!

Screams, yells, and cries to wake the family up, and then greets with a smile.

Upon being taken downstairs in the morning and being given a bottle, Asher's immediate next motion is to see if the stairs are yet gated off. If not, he will HI-TAIL it to them and then up them as fast as he can. When he realizes he is being chased, he laughs and giggles.

He cannot resist climbing on anyone who is lying on the ground.

Loves everyone. He will reach for anyone to hold him.

Adores Brooklynn, and gets a complete kick out of her.

He loves balls of any sort, and his new word is catch.

He's an eater, and picky by no means!

He's feisty, rambunctious, wild, and strong.

He's sweet, snuggly, loving, and fun.

He's our favorite boy!

We love you, Asher! Happy 1st Birthday, buddy!

Happy Birthday to you!

He has no idea what's about to take place...

Mmm... it's food, so it looks good.

Really? My very own?

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes, yes.

Delicious!

What a wonderful treat!

Ready to be done. Side note--I did remove about 1/3 of the cupcake from his hi-chair. He did not eat all of it!

Apparently, not feeling so great anymore. Why do we do this to our kids?

The fun is O-V-E-R!
