10 months!

Asher is 10 months old today!! He is getting so big. We went to the doctor last week and his stats are as follows:

Weight: 20 lbs 1 oz (45%)
Height: 28 1/2 inches (60%)

He loves food. He can eat and eat. He had spaghetti for the first time the other night and LOVED it just like his dad. He has also tried filet mignon (we ate at The Outback when we had 5 hours to kill in the Cincinnati airport) and loves that too just like his mom! He will still eat baby food but also loves table food. He loves crackers, string cheese, gold fish, graham crackers. He loves loves loves yogurt. If he just sees you get it out of the fridge he goes into total freak out mode. He has finally mastered the sippy cup, which I am very excited about and since he HATES formula our pediatrician gave us the go ahead for introducing whole milk to him in the next month.

This picture was taken while he was enjoying a delicious birthday lunch of crackers, cheese, and pears and blueberries!

He is getting his top teeth in right now and this makes him very tired. He has started taken three naps a day. Obviously I don't mind this little development at all. He is really the greatest little sleeper now (hallelujah!) He goes down around 7:30 and we don't here a peep from him until around 7 am.

He is still extremely fun-loving and happy all the time. He just loves to laugh and play.

He has the layout of the house down now and just crawls wherever he wants.

His favorite toy is his high chair. He crawls to it, pulls himself up and then basically uses it as a walker and scoots it all over the kitchen/dining area. He can do this for hours and often does while I'm busy in the kitchen making dinner.

He has a fascination with brushes. He crawls to my bathroom drawer and pulls out my brush and just loves to play with it. My powder brush is also a favorite of his. He even knows where his brush is and gets it out all the time to play with it.

His balance is getting better but he still doesn't really let go while standing but I think this will happen soon.

Yesterday we tried swings for the first time at the park and they didn't go over so well. We will have to work on that one.

He is handsome as ever and we could not love him anymore then we already do!

Chloe is 16 months old and she's only 20 pounds! We were looking at reunion pictures today and my boys kept calling Asher "Beast!" I don't know where that came from...I'm starting to see a little Quinn in his eyes and face. We'll have to watch out for this one!

What a yummy photo of my dimpled darling. Happy monthly Birthday Asher. Can't wait to see him pushing around his high chair and wrestling with his dad.

Give AQ a hug from his Grandma Nutt.

Wow, that is quite the diet. I am so impressed he likes filet mignon! Me too! :) I wish we could see him and Mimi together. He sounds like such a joyful happy boy! Just as he should be.
