4 month face

This is late, but here is Asher's four month face. I'll take his 5 month one pretty soon. He just keeps getting older and older and I am able to get to know his personality better each day.

Asher is trying to crawl...

This is a quick video clip of Asher trying to figure out what to do next once he gets up on his hands and knees. He is learning so fast! He is already better at it than when I recorded this three days ago. Sometimes he bunny hops his knees forward and is able to move his hands also and then do it all again, but most of the time he just topples onto his face once he has moved his knees forward. I don't think it will be long before he gets it.

As I watch him figure out how to do this I feel so proud of him for being strong and learning so well, but at the same time I am sad to say farewell to the easy days of setting him on a blanket or holding him in my lap. I guess I only get four and a half months of peaceful sitting! Oh, well. Let the days of following/chasing after my soon-to-be adventurous, curious, brave, energetic, dare devil of a son (I'm just guessing that's what he will be...) begin!!

Sunday afternoon walks...

Asher got to be a big boy on Sunday and ride in his stroller sitting up rather than strapped into his carseat.

I really enjoy where we live. The apartments have lots of green grass and big trees around to look at.

Asher loves to touch the leaves. We hold him close so he can feel the different textures and some times he manages to pull a few off. Yesterday on our walk he grabbed some and of course they went straight into his mouth. He pulled a disapproving face and actually made an audible "Uggh!" sound. It really surprised us, but it was so funny. I guess that is how he learns!

This is my family! I love to spend little moments like this with them!!

Oh, the smiles!

If this face doesn't make you feel happy,
I don't know what will!

Asher says "Thanks" for his toys :)

It's starting to get more exciting for Asher now that he enjoys playing with toys. Today he played for almost an hour with this play gym that was a gift from his Great Aunts and I think he has really found a new friend in his "Whoozit" buddy.

I had such a great time playing with him. He is also starting to like games like "peek-a-boo" and "where's asher?". He is also great at honking my nose, which is always a much more pleasent game after I cut his finger nails. I love to tickle him and get him laughing. Yesterday I had him laughing so hard that tiny little tears where coming down his cheeks.

Asher is my best friend!
