put a fork in him
I don't know if you noticed, but Asher got some special utensils in his Easter basket.
He has shown some interest in using a spoon as I feed him so I decided to get a few spoons and forks that would be easier for little hands to hold.
Yesterday I gave Asher a spoon and let him do what he would to his yogurt.
He was very intentional about trying to get the yogurt into his mouth, but had varying degrees of success.
How cute is this creamy goatee?! Love it!
After a few minutes, Asher decided enough was enough and handed the whole mess over to me. I probably scooped 3 spoonfuls off of his face. ha!
Today we decided to tackle the fork. Ash doesn't really have much experience with forks at all since {until recently} he refused to eat foods that weren't pureed or eaten with fingers. Because of this I wasn't sure if he'd know what to do, but never fear - some things are just natural. He was stabbing and scooping like a champ.
More often than not the macaroni wouldn't come off of the fork so Asher would pull it off and move mac, fork, and fingers into his mouth. Hey - you gotta do what it takes folks.
I grabbed the video camera and taped a bit of the action.
My favorite is when Asher drops a few pieces and goes after them with the fork. This boy cracks me up!
He's getting so big!

a happy accident
After I got Asher dressed this morning I realized that I'd inadvertently put him in an outfit that perfectly coordinated with mine! Oops!
I guess it was just a bright blue and gray day in my eyes. :-)
We had to make the most of it and pull out the self-timer on the 'ole camera. He's even smiling a little - amazing!

celebrating easter {2011}
Just when you thought the Easter posts were behind us - here we are!
Drew, Asher and I traveled to New Jersey for the weekend to celebrate the holiday with Drew's family. We had so much fun!
Quick peak of Asher from last Easter - so hard to believe how much he's changed!
On Saturday we all headed over to a lunch with the extended family and just had to show off Asher's Easter duds. Is he the definition of dapper or what?
I'm sure some day he'll hate me for dressing him in this outfit, but if not now, when? ha!
{Of course, the one photo where Asher is smiling with me would be out of focus. sigh.}
Asher got some really fun Easter treats while we were at the party!
The plan was for there to be an outdoors egg hunt for the many kiddos, but it was a rainy, yucky day so everything got moved inside. Asher loved searching for the eggs and throwing them in his bag. Unfortunately, he got a little enthusiastic and transitioned from collecting eggs to simply cleaning up and started putting toys off the floor into his bag. Love my little neatnik. :-)
On Sunday we got up early and headed to church to celebrate the amazing Resurrection! I love Easter - every year the awe of what happened all those years ago hits me afresh. Jesus not only died for my sins {my sins!} but rose from the dead 3 days later. Rose. from. the. grave. That's crazy and amazing.
YAY!
After church we headed home and Asher opened his Easter basket.
Well...he received an Easter basket. Grandma and Grandpa have a bunch of toys that are new to Asher, so he was really distracted by those and didn't care two hoots for the basket of fun stuff that his mama lovingly put together.
Now that we're home he's been enjoying his goodies much more. :-)
After lunch Asher got to visit his Great-grandparents and uncle Bob. Ash has been very stranger shy recently, so getting photos of him with new people is tough - hi Drew! hi Emily! We're in all the photos!
Yesterday we drove home and today I get to start the piles of laundry. How does 3 days away create so much laundry??
Hope you all had a wonderful Easter as well!

two years ago
Two years ago I left work with a feeling.
A feeling that my life was about to change.
A feeling that I'd have a bunch of exciting phone calls to make!
A feeling like Drew was going to get the biggest news of his life too.
It was a good feeling.
Especially once I saw this
and realized it was all true.

How in the world has it been 2 years already? I really have a hard time remembering what life was like before Asher came along. These have been the most exciting, hardest, terrific, and exhausting 2 years of my life. I am oh-so-grateful for every minute!
