To Walk or Not to Walk......and Other Things that Boggle the Brain!

That is Asher's question. He has on two separate occasions taken two steps and then promptly fallen on his face attempting a third! But its progress. Soon we'll have a walker and then....watch out world!

It boggles my mind when I stop and think of how quickly Asher has gone from helpless infant, to mobile little boy! In a week, he'll be nine months old. Three months from now He'll be one! ONE! A toddler. And as much joy as each new stage brings, it hurts my heart a little that my baby will no longer be a baby. Asher Ben just might be my last baby too and I don't know how to feel about that just yet.

I love watching him play with other kids. In that aspect he is very very social. He loves playing with Kylee and is constantly trying to keep up with her....thus the early mobility. It melts my heart to see the little smile that suddenly appears on his face each morning when he first hears her voice! He cannot wait to get downstairs and play with her.

A couple days ago we had Aiden over, Aiden is 3 weeks younger than Asher, and the two of them played together the entire time. Like games. Who can keep the purple bowl and even a VTEC music toy was shared for over a half hour. They are growing up and acting more like little kids than babies. It truly boggles the mind. When did that happen? Was I not watching closely?

We're gearing up for another food trial in a couple weeks since the winter squash trial went so well! I'm nervous and excited for another trial. This time we will be taking summer squash and zucccini for a spin. Fingers Crossed!
