It has been an entire year since we have been blessed with our sweet boy, Asher. He has definitely brought balance and a feeling of wholeness to our family. I am glad to report that I finally feel done having kids. I didn’t know if I would ever feel that way and was worried that too many other factors would play a role in deciding if we would have more children or not. But Chris and I both feel like our whole family is here and that we are complete. It is truly a peaceful feeling.
Asher is so far my smallest one year old. He is only in the 25th percentile for weight and height! That is just weird when all my other babies have been in the 70th and above and still are. I guess he might take after my side of the family instead of Chris’. What he does have is a “DeMille size head.” Both my boys heads were off the charts for size…which if you ask Austin just means he is that much smarter than the average person.
Asher may be little but he is very smart and energetic already. He is walking around everywhere. He is still getting into the toilet every day. The older ones haven’t learned to keep the bathroom doors closed yet, but at least they have learned to keep the toilets flushed. He likes to put things in the toilet like mom’s makeup, toys, clothes, brushes, combs, etc. He likes to turn off mom’s computer and always before I have saved. He likes to take all the books off the shelves and clothes out of the drawers. He has already learned to go up and down the stairs, sooner than any of the other children. He also loves to cuddle. So far he isn’t picky when it comes to food but his favorite food is definitely chicken (along with dirt and rocks when he can get it). He loves chicken and recognizes it immediately when I am cooking it. He likes to stick his bum up in the air like a stinkbug. He has learned to love water. He can already throw a little tantrum, also earlier than any of the older ones. He has 6 teeth and likes to use them! But most importantly he is my happy boy!

He was actually very timid to eat the cake at first. It was very out of character for him. Finally his Uncle Keith took his hands and smashed them into the cake and then he started eating it and he loved it. Mmmm!

A tiny little cupcake? Thats it? ;) My kids got little 6 inch cakes and the mess was horrid - but you just can't not let them have thier cake w/ a huge mess that first time-
I can't believe Asher is already one, it seems like Chris was just posting that he was born - time just passes so quickly. Happy Birthday little man!
