An Update... in Pictures

I finally got some of the pictures downloaded off of our phones. Some of them are a little old, but they are too cute to pass up. Like usual they are mostly of the little nursling because my life sort of revolves around his every whim.



This is the face that greats me after a nap, when I'm lucky.



The nursling shaking his crib (it is about time to lower the mattress) and squealing, except you can't hear that because this is a picture.



Getting into the Tupperware drawer, I'm glad that it distracts him or else I'd never get dinner made. Notice the tongue sticking out, he does that a lot lately because he can feel his two teeth.



How Jon has been feeling lately... Poor guy is a bit stressed out. He is taking a full graduate level class load, has a statistics class that would kill the strongest of us, works two jobs, just got called to be in the Young Men's Presidency, has a house to fix up, a wife who wants attention, and a baby who DEMANDS attention. He is the best man I know.



He got promoted to a big boy car seat because he outgrew the weight limit on the other one. He likes forward facing SO much better. I checked with the insurance company and they said that it was okay to turn him around before a year if he weighed more than 21 lbs. Does anyone know any different? I don't want to get in trouble.



We went to the BYU vs. USU game a few weeks ago. We had quite the conflict of interests. Jon is now a cou-aggie with divided loyalties. But I made sure I represented BYU and wore my hat, even if Asher is wearing a USU shirt. The guys in front of us were really confused. We cheered when BYU scored and when USU scored, they didn't understand :)



First time eating Aggie ice cream (notice the blue around the mouth). This was before the BYU vs. USU football game. He is practicing his touchdown arms!



My mom playing with Asher in Idaho Falls. I thought this picture was sweet.



We blew insulation into our attic last Saturday and it was a MESSY job! The machine was really loud so Jon tried to put ear protection on Asher, it didn't last very long. He kind of looks like a blow fish.



Asher with his second cousin Porter. We were all going to Sam's Club. Porter kept trying to hold Asher's hand. I love Asher's smile, that is my favorite one out of all his smiles.



Again, at Sam's Club. Porter doesn't look quite so pleased with having to share a seat with Asher. He kept trying to push him out. Asher thought it was funny.




Coming home from the USU Homecoming parade. He wouldn't let go of this sucker. I didn't think he'd be able to get the wrapper off, but right before we got home I heard him making extreme sucking noises. I guess he'd found a hole in the paper and was sucking to his heart's content.



Riding Grandpa's shoulders. Good thing Grandpa is wearing a hat, because Ash likes to suck on his bald head!

I know it's not as fun, but I think it is both 20 pounds AND a year old. http://www.utcodes.org/TrafficSafety/Safety_Restraint.htm
(don't kill the messenger).

And Margaret uses her tongue when she teeths, too, but it's more of a pain relief thing. She'll use her tongue to relief the pressure on her gums.

It IS one year AND 20 pounds to turn your little one around. Though Safe Kids Worldwide now recommends you keep them rear facing as long as your seat will allow regarding the weight for rear facing. Most seats go to at least 30 pounds now rear facing. Rear facing is the safest way.
