It's hard to believe that Asher is already 6 months old. The time has passed so quickly that it feels like he was born just yesterday! This past month has been a big one. He has changed so much!
He is now army crawling all over the place
Has popped two teeth- we didn't even know he was teething with the first
He is a major thumb sucker and we love it
He has been able to sit up for quite some time now but he definitely prefers to be on his tummy
Is getting heavier and chubbier! Last doctor appointment about a month ago he was 19 pounds but he is always measure high 90th percentile for height and low 90's or 80th percentile for weight just like his daddy, long but skinny
He loves to playing with packaging, wrappers, boxes, empty water bottles and paper towel rolls
We think he is possibly left handed
He licked a snicker's wrapper CLEAN. He loved the melted chocolate and carmel. oops!
He has now tried rice cereal, carrots, peas and banana. He only likes bananas and eats a TON of it. Takes after his daddy by not loving vegetables.
He flirts with all of the ladies. He loves to go to the gym and get a ton of attention at daycare
He gets passed around from person to person at Ryan's games because he just smiles the whole time
He is a sweatin' baby. His bald head often times has beads of sweat by the ears. Cracks me up
He can pull himself up onto the mattress that is on the floor about 8" high
He loves walks in the stroller as long as he is sitting up so he can see everything around him
Sometimes he stares at people so long I begin to feel awkward
He can flip himself out of the bumbo (this causes some problems)
Still loves bath time
He sleeps in the stink bug position
He loves to have one hand wrapped around a blankie and his thumb in his mouth
I love that he reaches up and plays with my lips while he eats
His absolute favorite toy is "Sophie" the giraffe
He loves when Ryan throws him in the air
He giggles when we tickle him. I am excited for a full on laugh!
He has traveled more places then a lot of people. All over Italy, San Diego, Arizona, St. George, Turkey (2 times) and Mexico. Luckily, he does pretty well with traveling (minus the nightmare home to the states by myself.)
We had to lower the crib so that he couldn't pull himself over the ledge. He liked to get both of his hands on the railing and then bounce on his bum as if trying to stand up
He sleeps like a champ! Bed time is 8pm sleeps until 6am then eats and back to sleep until 8:30. Then he takes two really long naps and then a cat nap in the evening. He likes sleep as much as his parents and often times he dives at his crib.
I now know what it feels like to be completely obsessed with something. I run to his crib when I hear him make a sound! Ryan and I have races down the hallway pretty much everyday to get to him first. He makes this adventure of living overseas a lot more enjoyable. I have a constant buddy and Ryan has another fan and someone else that is so excited every time he walks in the door! He is definitely obsessed with his daddy and kicks his legs and arms all over when Ryan gets home and makes a squealing noise. I love when we go to get him out of his crib he immediately gives us a huge grin. Sometimes Ryan and I go in to his room in the middle of the night and hold him because we miss him! He has such a sweet personality and I can't wait to watch him continue to change and grow! I would just love it if he would slow down a little bit...
Doing his dive out of the bumbo. It's when he's on tile that I get nervous.
See his two teeth?
Then he was done with pictures
And here are a few more pictures just because....
Thumb sucker
Trying peas...you can see how much he enjoyed them
He now has a high chair and loves it as long as food is coming
Love that grin
This is also a favorite toy "My First Sports Bag" with a basketball, football, baseball and soccer ball inside. He rips it open and slams the balls on the ground.
Check out that lint! I don't know what it is but he always gets lint in his toes. This is an unusual amount though, no worries!
He loves his daddy!
We love you Asher!
