Asher James {11 Months}

Asher, you are getting so big!! I look at you and can’t believe how much you've grown and changed in the past few months.  You are standing up on your own and it’s still so funny to see you just standing in the middle of the room.  You have no interest in walking but I can’t blame you because, boy, you can move!! You are such a fast crawler! You “talk” to us all the time and say momma and dada. You got four new teeth in the past month, all on top.  You now have six teeth total but still refuse to eat anything that isn't pureed.  You are definitely a climber!! I am terrified for your toddler years ;). You are always trying to climb from the couch on to the end table and last night you succeeded and stood up on the table (with daddy’s hand on your back, of course). You squealed and screamed like you had just conquered the world.  You are fascinated with Cash’s water bowl and food (much like your sister was at this age) and it’s a challenge to keep you out of it. You love to “wrestle” and are super ticklish!  

You are wearing all 12-18 or 18 month clothes and are in a size four diaper now

You take one nap a day, sometimes 30 minutes, and sometimes 2 hours.  We just never know.

Because you refuse to eat anything but purred baby food you still drink 5-6 7 oz. bottles a day.  I’m not sure what we’re going to do next month because I was planning to stop buying formula and transition you to whole milk but I don’t want you to starve!  Please start eating soon!

You sleep for about 12 hours 7:30 – 7:30 at night

You love to clap your hands, especially when you're eating

You are fascinated with the dishwasher and love to climb in it whenever it is open

You are such a sweet and funny little boy.  Your daddy and I are always laughing at the funny facial expressions you make... you are so animated!

Happy 11 months sweet Asher bug.  I can't wait to start staying home with you next week and soaking in all your slobbery kisses and sweet hugs.  We love you little man!!
