And we'll have fun, fun, fun....

It was a busy September. Asher is on his way to crawling. Lots of army crawls, scoots, and generally getting around to wherever he wants to go...baby gates now required. Our dog, Jax, is a new-found fascination for Asher. We think Jax will soon be regretting all that attention she paid Asher the first few months, and she will wish she could lock herself in her crate to get away from Asher. :)

Nam, Asher, and I were SO happy to get to spend lots and lots of time with Tia Raquel while she was in town for a few months. She is family to us, and we miss her sooooooooo much now that she's gone back home.  Raquel had a very special gift of being able to make Asher laugh...like serious belly laughs. It was hilarious!

Crawling on and playing with Daddy is one of Asher's favorite things

We get to have weekend dinners with Daddy's family lots of the time. So many aunts and uncles to laugh with!

Asher turned 6 months old on September 29th! I am in disbelief.  These past 6 months have been some of the fastest of my life. However, ask me how fast those times seemed to go during the evening hours before bed when the endless fussing commences. :)

6 months!

First carnival ride at Kiddie Park...he didn't seem to notice anything special. haha.

Concentrate! He is VERY determined to get where he wants to go.

He won't stay in laps very long anymore.  He's got places to be, people to see!

Until next time...

Outer Banks 2011

Ok, I know, I know. When it rains, it pours.  I finally had time to sit down and get all these pictures on the blog, which has resulted in 4 posts in one day.  

This year was a great one at the OBX.  Asher met all of his extended family on his mommy's side and got to spend lots of time on the beach.  

This look alike contest with Uncle John was not planned.

Sleeping at the Sound with Grampy. haha.

Everyone needs some good Nana-time!

5 months old!!

On August 29th, Asher turned 5 months old. He's getting so big so fast. We spent Labor Day weekend with family and Asher got to be held and played with by lots of family. Everyone's so great with him and he always has a great time laughing and practicing talking. :)

Loves his exersaucer. Thanks for opening us up to that whole new world Aunt Lauren!!

He makes lots of crazy faces not too.

5 months old!!

Getting ready for bed

Co Thuy giving my arms a break.  Thank you!!

Uncle Donnie explaining a thing or two to Asher, and Asher listened SO attentively.  It was hilarious. :)

Audrey and Sydney spent lots of time holding Asher during their visit from Houston.

He loved you guys!!!

Hook 'em

Ok, here's a better one that shows the hat. This post is for his daddy :) Hook 'em Horns!

Fly, Eagles, Fly :)

Asher was SO ready for the first Eagles game on Sunday...E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!!!!!! For the win! You can't see it very well in this pic (I'll post a better one later), but his hat looks like a football. Thanks to Carrie Benkert at EllieOh's hats on etsy.com. It is adorable!!!

Was the summer so, so fun?!

Wow, this summer flew by and we had so much fun watching Asher totally grow by leaps and bounds.  He's rolling like a champ (all over the place), starting to think about getting up on all fours at times (yikes!), and just developing into more and more of his own personality. He's a real smiley guy :)

He got to do a lot of firsts this summer.  First plane trip, first beach trip (including first road trip), first Phillies game (including first away game, first subway/train ride, and first rain delay..haha), and first time meeting most of mommy's side of the family! And he was a trooper though it all :)

Family pic at Jockey's Ridge on the Outer Banks

Go Phillies!!!!  

Meeting Geema for the first time. I think it's safe to say they both had a good time together :)

Meeting Grammy for the first time!

  I'll post more pictures later of our escapades this summer with both sides of the family.  But for now, Asher is up from his nap and the rest of the pics on the external hard drive. Until later!!
