What is this?

In one of my recent post, I explained how much Asher loves his Puffs. I usually buy the banana flavored. Well, I decided to try the Apple and Cinn flavor. I pulled out the container, and Asher went crazy as usual. But when he threw them in his mouth, this is the reaction that I got.

This is NOT a smile. He is looking at me in confusing and wondering what happened to his Puffs. I will not buy that flavor again. 

Momma's Boy

Even though Asher loves his daddy. He still has some kisses and laughs for his momma. 

Okay, so really bad angle of me, but Asher is the focus of this picture.

My Poor Baby

Orvalle had my camera and Asher for the day. When I returned from the store, Orvalle and Asher looked like they had fun, and these pictures among others were on my camera.

Mr. Cool

Asher is very curious about the washer and dyer. So, his daddy let him get a closer look.

My Little Piggy

Asher loves snack time, because he loves the Gerber Puffs. This is also a learning time for him. He learns how to feed himself and how to say please and thank you.  However, this time has shown me how much work I have cut of from me. He refuse to share his puffs, and he refuses to accept help to feed himself.

Here, I tried to help him when he had trouble getting one of the puffs to his mouth, but he thought I was trying to take it away. So, every time I reached for his hand, he tucked it behind his head. There isn't an article or a chapter in the books for this. Help!

Swimming

We went swimming at Aunt Denise's house. It started to rain in the middle of the party just for a few minutes, but the rain did not stop a really good time!

Trentin watching his little brother, Calib, drink the rain water. Everyone laughed as my sister rushed over there to stop him.

My little frog man with Denise. 

Calib and Karri are about to jump into the pool.

Asher loves to swim. He kicks his feet and splashes the water with so much excitement. This day was so special because not only did he get to go swimming, but he was able to go swimming with his Aunt Dawn and Aunt Kimmie. They leave in Tennessee, and we do not get to see them as much. 

My First Mother's Day!

Orvalle was offshore, so Asher and I went to my mom's house for Mother's Day.

He didn't know what day it was; he was just being his sweet self.

Snack Time

Look at all those teeth. Asher has 6 teeth!

Asher is feeding himself. Most of the time the puffs end up in his clenched fist, so he uses the opposite hand to guide the other one to his mouth. It's really funny.

Easter Sunday

On Sunday, Asher and I went to Jena to spend Easter with Grammy and Pop-pop. Grammie had put out Orvalle's old Easter basket for the Easter Bunny. After the everyone left, Grammie let Asher dig into all the goodies. She gave him a Peep and some chocolate. 

This picture is blurry, but you can see the blue and brown from the candy.

Gavin, Kami, Maddy, and Luke. The twins and Gavin had matching outfits; they were so cute.

Crawfish Boil

Saturday, we went to a crawfish boil at my Aunt Bonnie's house. They had an Easter egg hunt for the kids.

Trentin really got into the hunt. He was showing Asher all his eggs.

He found two. (I placed next to two.) He was happy with those two. We even placed a third one into the basket, but two was enough.

Playing Before Bed

He was so much fun this night. I put him in the crib just for a few minutes to clean up before bed. He didn't mind. He just kept on playing and laughing.

I love this picture. Look at that big mouth!

The crib must taste good.

Active Baby

Asher's fat rolls are slowly disappearing due to his NONstop activity, but he is so much fun! I love playing with him, and he loves exploring. I have so many fun pictures from this particular evening that it will take two post. Tomorrow, I will post the rest.

I was doing his laundry. When we were playing, I moved the baskets and clothes to the "grandparents" bed in his room. He tried so hard to get to them. I hope that this means he will be more than willing to help us with chores when he gets older.

Playing with Mike.

Big Bath Tub

Asher has out grown his baby bath tub. Orvalle said to put him in the big tub, but both of the bath tubs are very deep. Thus, I was very reluctant. However, he loves the tub, and he cannot pull up because it is so deep. In other news, Asher's two lateral incisor or fang teeth are coming in. He is teething just like his cousin Gavin. From what I hear, Luke is teething in the same pattern as well.

I finally got a good shot of his bottom two teeth!

He loves playing with his bath toys now. His Grammie gave him some ducks and his Nanna gave him some fish. Bath time is so much fun, but he hates when I lay him back to rinse his hair.

Not So Fun Weekend

Last weekend was supposed to be a very busy, We went to Monroe to see Matt J. He is one of Orvalle's old friends from high school. He is also one of my old friends from La Tech. He is one of the reasons Orvalle and I met. After spending a few days with Uncle Matt, we went to Minden to spend some time with some more friends, the Watkins family. It was Hayden's 2nd birthday! We didn't make the party or the rest of our plans. I got really ill, and we had to go to Jena early on Sunday. Grammie had to take care of Asher while Orvalle took care of me. We had to leave Asher behind on Wednesday. I am feeling better and I miss my baby so much!

Uncle Matt is very talented. Asher was supposed to be playing his bongos while Uncle Matt played the guitar, but Asher was wanted to play the guitar.

In Memory

Last week, marked three years since my father died. I cannot believe that it has been 3 years since God has called him home. However, I cannot believe what all has happen in that 3 years: I have earned my second degree, got married, bought a house, have 6 beautiful nieces and nephews, and a beautiful baby boy of my own. 

On Tuesday, I took Asher to my mom's house where my dad's two sisters and some close cousins gathered for lunch in his memory. It was the first time for a lot of them to meet Asher. He enjoyed the attention from everyone, but he mainly enjoyed his Nanna. I am so lucky Asher has 4 grandparents that love him so much, and the three that are here sure do let him know it.

Fun in the Shade
