I am a Lily!!!

You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist. People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you. You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words. Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.

What Flower Are You?

I saw this one someone else's blog and thought..."I want to be a lily." because that is my favorite flower, so I took the quiz and guess what...I am a lily ;) Kind of fun!

5 months old...

5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Asher is 5 months old and these are pictures I have taken of his cute face each month on his month birthday. From top to bottom, oldest to youngest!! For those of you who don't know I am doing this because I think it's fun to compare how he has grown and changed each month, and I am going to do it for the first year. I thought it would be neat to capture the changes because as his momma I am lucky to get to spend so much time with him, but that also means I see him all the time, so it is harder for me to realize how much he has grown. Sometimes it takes a blanket that doesn't cover him all the way anymore, his feet hanging over the edge of the baby bath tub, or shorts that actually fit his waist (0-3 months shorts and he is really 5 months old...baby clothes sizes are CRAZY!) to make me notice how big he really is! Then a friend of mine gave me a perfect frame with 12 little places for pictures, so I thought of this little project and the rest is history...or at least the last 5 months are!

It's BYU football time...

It's football season and Justin is excited for Asher to be his buddy!

Asher reaches for EVERYTHING these days!!!

Just in case anyone was wondering, Asher's Daddy likes BYU ;)
(can you tell?)

Asher was playing on the floor and ended up snuggled into the couch and watched the rest of his Baby Einstein video just like that. Every time I would move him he would wiggle his way right back to that spot.

This is what Asher does now. Rather than crawl on his knees he gets up onto his toes. He doesn't make it very far and usually ends up face planting into the floor. Maybe he is just trying to do a head stand :)

He just might be a fish...

Well, we thought we would try taking Asher swimming this last weekend and he did great! He seemed to really enjoy it. Once he got used to the temperature (I think it was a little cold) he started kicking those little legs like he knew just what he was doing.



But really I think his favorite part was licking the water off his fingers!



































His "little swimmer" diaper was a "little" too big. Oops :)







He also spent a little time with his great grandpa. That was neat to watch!
