October 2009

What a busy month it has been! Caleb has been having an amazing football season, Asher started walking, we went to a pumpkin patch for the first time, and of course Halloween.


Brushing his teeth in bed with daddy


A beautiful day at Stoney Ridge Farms

Asher eating an apple right off the tree

Caleb all dressed up for Homecoming....pretty handsome young man!

Decked out in his Cougar gear

Not sure what to think about his St. Bernard costume at first....

but he came around enough to peruse the neighborhood.

Walking

Asher took his first steps on September 26th. He was standing against the couch and then let go and walked half way across the room! He was so happy when he was done that he sat on the floor and clapped! Unfortunately daddy was on a fishing trip that weekend, Grandma and Poppa were wine tasting, and Caleb was out with his friends for the night, so they all missed it. It's pretty cute watching how proud he is of himself everytime he walks without any help! What a big boy!!

Asher is One!!

What a great day for a Hawaiian Luau! We were blessed with beautiful weather and a lot of family and friends to celebrate Asher's big day in the traditional Hawaiian style. He stayed awake for the entire party and had a blast. He loved jumping around in the bouncy house and really liked his first taste of sugar....birthday cake!! He didn't know what to think of it at first, but once he tasted it he was hooked. He was however so thoughtful as to share some with daddy! We are so lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives who love Asher so much!!

Hawaii

Asher now has 8 teeth!!!

Asher is such a happy baby, but it is rare to actually catch a smile on camera as he is very camera shy! :)

Easter

Hunting for Easter eggs sure is exhausting!


Focused on those eggs!

I can roll onto my tummy all by myself now!! I am such a big boy.... I weigh 19 pounds!


As you can see, Asher didn't care too much for his first taste of solid food
