Birthday Boy

Asher, you turned three today.  Even though I've had another baby, you still feel like my BABY.




But you are not a baby...you talk like your big brother and sisters and make me smile to myself when you start a sentence with, "Actually..." which sounds more like, "Akchulee...".

Your family loves you so much.  Jeremy and Sadie have both loved taking care of you since you were a tiny little guy.  Last month, Jeremy randomly said to me while we all played together, "In Asher's 179-word dictionary, his definition for 'boat' would say, 'So, so, so, so fun.'"  I think you are each other's saving grace in your girl-trapped worlds.




Although it makes Daddy feel bad, you always want me to put you to bed and recently have asked for the same two songs every night..."Mairzy Doates" and "Sing a Song of Sixpence".
You are silly when you dance.
You love Buzz Lightyear, Garth Vay-duh, and the color green.
You stub your chubby toes until they bleed.
You look the most like me of all the kids (Grammy says).
You love all things boy.
You love to jump to me in the pool.  You can't sit through FHE, but love nursery.
You love your nap, once I can get you to your crib.
You really, really love me.
And I love you.
SO much.
I don't know what I'd do without you, my blonde little lover boy.  You are the best, Asher Baby.

As I was admiring your amazing pictures, Katie walked up and said "he hits me." Happy Birthday Asher!

Oh no, I didn't know that! That is not a happy memory, LOL! I guess I would have to group that into "all things boy", but hopefully he's grown out of it. :)

Maybe if we saw you more often we'd know! :)

Ah!! Happy Birthday Asher!! What a handsome boy. I love reading about your favorite things and the way you say them. Too fun! And you DO look like your mom!
You're a lucky boy to have such an amazing family to grow up with! I've got a special place in my heart for your mommy!

Great post, Heidi. We love Asher, too. And he especially loves his Uncle Sterling. Whenever he sees me, the first thing he asks is, "Where's Sterling?"

He's so dang cute. And Alyse, his nickname isn't "Asher-Basher" just because it rhymes! :)
