- wakes up from his nap and the EXACT moment I happen to think about him;
- has to sit right in the middle of the newspaper when I am reading it;
- never gets full. I swear the kid is a bottomless pit! He ate more, proportionality, than anyone else at Thanksgiving dinner;
- doesn't cry at all when another little kid pushes him over, whacks his head on the floor, and then sits on him (on accident), but bawls when I accidentally bump his head on the door frame;
- wakes up at 6:00 EVERY morning and then takes a nap at 8:00.... why couldn't he just stay asleep UNTIL 8:00. Sob;
- is enthralled with tools. Honestly. If a screw driver or a hammer (real ones) don't make him happy-- nothing will;
- can cry like the world is ending one moment and then be smiling and happy the next moment-- here is an example.
Asher smiling at Dad before church

15 seconds later (honestly)
Why the change? Who knows? He's 11 months old, he doesn't need a reason.
- can find things on the floor not visible to the human eye;
- likes to stick half eaten, slobbery food into my mouth. It is good he likes to share, but really...;
- is almost a year old and only has two teeth. I'm not worried about it, he is just a little slow in the teeth department, in fact I LOVE it-- his smile is so cute with only two teeth;
- would be perfectly happy to be chased around all day. All you have to do is get on your hands and knees, growl and then he is off like a bullet-- usually to hide in the corner;
- won't ever use his signs. He knows one or two but hardly ever uses them. He prefers to screech;
- only wants to eat bread-- okay actually I do understand this one-- like mother, like son;
- likes to play with oxygen tanks. There is a man in our ward who has an oxygen tank and Asher LOVES it. When he can, he spends most of Sunday school playing with it. Good thing the man is SO good natured and loves Asher, because sometimes Asher even tries to pull the oxygen tube out of his nose.
Before church on Sunday I was packing up the diaper bag with a sack full of cereal for Asher to snack on. My choices were Marshmallow Mateys or Rice Chex. I put a handful of Marshmallow Mateys in the bag and filled the rest of it up with Rice Chex because they are healthier. Little did I know the unforeseen consequences. Asher was REALLY fussy in sacrament meeting so I pulled out the cereal and made the mistake of handing him a Marshmallow Matey first. After that he would have NOTHING to do with the Rice Chex! He would reach his hand into the bag and if he pulled out a Rice Chex he would SCREAM (yes, in the middle of sacrament meeting) and throw it on the floor, then stick his hand back in and try again. He could only be pacified by making sure his little hand came out with a Marshmallow Matey and not the dreaded Rice Chex. Our pew was QUITE messy after the meeting was over and my baby had QUITE the sugar buzz !

Heather I love you! Your little guy is so adorable even when he is crying, and you are such a patient loving mother. I remember we would drive my Mom crazy during Sacrament meeting I am going to have to ask her what we did! Have a good day!
Ha that is funny! Reminds me of a kid I know. Don't worry Mckenna got two teeth and 6 months and not another one until she was one. Now she has 3 teeth on bottom and still none on top. She is working on them thought. Poor kid, she is so grumpy!
It was so good to see you too! I think Asher is adorable and he was so good around Haley. I laughed so hard when you told me about him and the old man's oxygen tank. I am sure the man enjoys seeing such a sweet blue eyed boy smile. Oh and darn it, no we did not get the armoire. But we are still in search for one.
