Time for a nap...

We just got Asher a doorway jumper and he is really good at it - although in this picture he was more interested in eating the edge of the seat then jumping.

Also, I have always loved watching little kids when they get so sleepy that they have a hard time keeping their face out of their mashed potatoes or something equally adorable. Today Asher was doing that in his jumper. He was having a great time jumping one second and then the next he could hardly keep his head up. Enjoy!

Nighty Night

While Asher does still sometimes end up tangled in the crib slats, I think he has found his preferred way of sleeping (pictured below). Half tummy/half side with his hands up by his face (usually sucking his thumb). As I go to lay him in his crib he turns and twists into that position before he even hits the mattress. Sleep tight Asher man ; )

Big boy

My son is getting so big. This picture makes him look like a little boy instead of my baby : (

This could be a problem...

Asher rolls over in his crib like a crazy man these days. When I put him to sleep he is on his back in the middle. When I get him in the morning he is on his tummy in the corner. It's amazing. Last night he got himself stuck in the bars. He was struggling a little but wasn't too upset. I had to snap some pictures before I set him free. What a wiggle worm!!

3 months and counting...

One month, two months, three months...

Asher is another month older, and that means time for another face picture. I picked this picture for his 3 month picture even though his hands are in his mouth because that totally shows what he was like this month. He is all about his hands in his mouth!

One day I went to check on him in his crib after he woke up and he was just playing with his hands, but he hadn't learned to bring his hands to his mouth, rather he was struggling to lift his head to his hands and then he would flop back down for a minute and then bring his head to his hands again.

It's great to watch him learn and get better and better at things everyday!

Fin, Noggin, Dude!

We got Asher this little Squirt stuffed animal from Finding Nemo when he was born and now they are buddies. Now that Asher can grab and hold on to him it's pretty cute to watch them play, or rather watch Asher slobber all over Squirt.

Blessing Day

We blessed Asher on June 10th, 2007. Justin did a beautiful job and we were happy to have so much of our family there. Asher's Grandma Carrier made his blessing outfit and did a wonderful job! Thanks Joyce!! What a handsome boy.

Our little contest winner

Justin and I decided to enter Asher in the Orem Summerfest Baby Contest. I don't think we would ever do it again, but we sure had a fun day. The theme was "Dancing Stars" so I thought of a little ballroom dancer. The only tux small enough was at Build-A-Bear Workshop, and yes I did it. I put my son in a stuffed animal outfit! He looked adorable. I even made a little ballroom dancer sign for his back. He was in a great mood when it was his turn to see the judges and they loved him. He won third place in his age group and he really...couldn't care less.

Playtime with Mom

When Asher and I play he gets really excited and makes all sorts of funny faces and sweet laughs and giggles...then he gets worn out and "powers down" for a few seconds with a blank stare on his face.

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

This is Asher in action. He learned to roll from tummy to back first and did it a few times, then all at once he could roll from back to tummy also and does it all the time! Mostly in his crib. I think he is trying to find a way to escape.

Hello Blogger, my old friend!

Well, I'm back. I've missed my blog! Justin, Asher and I are now living in Salt Lake. It's been a really great and really busy few weeks. First, I had my friend Stacy and her little boy in town which was so fun. I am so excited to live closer to them soon! Then we made the big move up to SLC. Thanks to those who helped us. We couldn't have done it without you!! Now we are getting used to things up here and still trying to get settled in. It is taking me forever to get unpacked.

We have been having a lot of fun, and Asher is developing more and more sweet skills everyday like sleeping in his crib, grabbing and holding onto toys, jumping, rolling over from tummy to back and back to tummy, making spit bubbles, sucking his thumb, laughing, and flirting with all the ladies at church. I love being a Mom! I don't have long before his nap is over... so I am going to try and just quickly post some of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks.

That face totally shows how he feels about Binky's
