Happy 4th of July

                                                               Asher: "Tickle tickle"

 We went to Park City for the 4th. It was a blast. When we first got there it was raining Ashes from the Alpine fire. But it cleared up. We had fun on the Alpine Slide!

 I want YOU to give me a kiss...

So we went to the Cache Valley cruise-in. People come from miles and miles to bring their awesome cars to show off in this parade. Look how awesome this Orange one is....it was driving 1cm off the ground! Crazy.

 I like pink cars :)

 Back to the Future Cars!

 Asher had fun watching the cars go by....but...

 This is what happened every time they revved up their engine....it was quite hilarious....he doesn't like loud noises.

 New Asherisms:

Asher likes to stick his feet right up by his face....it's so effortless, I don't understand.

Asher LOVES Peas and he Loves Carrots too! Even more than any fruit I've given him. He doesn't like Turkey...he just spits it out. I think loving his veggies is a Papa Garrett trait. My Mother-in-law said her kids all HATED Peas. Looks like Asher is a Garrett after all :)

Asher is NOT a fan of Peek-a-boo. Even if I'm not scaring him every time, after about 5 peek-a-boos he gets that cute little sad face and starts crying...sad.

Asher still loves to kick his feet. This is what is going through his head "Let's see how fast I can kick my feet for the next 5 minutes" He just keeps going, and he's so intent on it.

Every time Asher wakes up, he's so happy to see me and I'm so happy to see him. It's a fabulous relationship. I give him food, he's happy.

Jordon's 1st Father's Day

We had sliders and yummy potato thingy's for Father's Day

Jordon got tools, a bike, and Disney scene it.

Side stories: I got Disney scene it at a garage sale for $1. When he opened it, there was no DVD...lol. Good thing I only paid $1.

Bike: We sold my 10 year old bike for $80. We got this beautiful 2011 bike for $170 (on KSL) what a steal! Life is good. Jordon rides the bike to work everyday. I'm going to ride it to grad school :)

Asher updates:

Asher got his 4 month shots last week (even though he's 5 months)

When we got home he ripped off the band-aid and started playing with it.

Asher turned 5 months old yesterday. I decided to feed him some bananas this morning. Didn't keep much food in his mouth.

Asherisms:

Asher does not stop moving. It's hilarious. Sometimes he'll just kick his legs really fast. The other day I was feeding him and he was flailing his arm. Jordon came in and held it down, so he flailed his other arm. He held them both, so he kicked his legs. Jordon held his arms and legs, and Asher wiggled his elbow.

Asher likes to stick his legs in the air...it's pretty funny.

Asher has found his tongue. He does the little raspberry noises all day long....super awesome. I was blowing my tongue at him, then he'd imitate me and do it back. 

He's been saying Momomom a lot lately....but he doesn't know what he's saying. It's cute.

Lately, when I feed him, he holds on  to my right pinky with his left hand, and plays with my hair with his right hand...like so:

So precious.

Oh, and he's blown out of his diaper 3 times in the last 3 days. I think that about covers it! I love my little boy. He brings so much light to my life! 

My 1st Mother's Day

Best Mother's Day Ever! Can life get any better? The middle pic made me laugh so hard....I didn't even realize I was holding the book in front of Asher's face...and Jordon didn't even tell me!

Happy Late Easter

I thought I'd post some of our Easter pics, cause I forgot to last month. 

Asher's blessing in March. He LOVED that outfit.

Asher's first Easter egg hunt at the mall....he found the best egg.

Asher's basket was hidden on the dryer...he was so excited to find it.

Family Easter pic. The Easter bunny hid Jordon's basket in the oven, and mine got hidden in Asher's car seat. Silly Bunny.

New fears

So, I've just discovered that my baby boy NEVER stops moving. Even while he's eating, he's kicking and moving his head around and just being crazy! Oh man, I'm in for a treat when he starts being able to move himself around. I was a TERROR of a child, and I've just discovered that Asher just may turn out the same way. Oh goody.

This is his mischievous face.

Happy 3 Month Birthday Asher

New Asherism: Asher LOVES to stick out his tongue. 

He also likes to hit himself in the face while he's sticking out his tongue. 

I just love his facial expression on this last one. He's like "why did I just hit myself in the face?...OH, because it's fun, I'm going to do it again!"

Random Fact of the day: Why was tax day on the 17th this year? Because it can't fall on a weekend or a holiday. Well then, why wasn't it on Monday the 16th? Oh, because the government decided to celebrate emancipation day....so random. It's a holiday I guess. 

Little Asher

So, Asher's new thing, now that he just started laughing, is to laugh his head off every time I'm taking his clothes off. It just hits a funny bone for some reason. I just laugh back and say "you like being naked eh?" Oh I love my little boy.

The last couple of days Asher wasn't being himself. He was crying a lot and looked like he was in pain. We thought he had gas. He's had a cold/sore throat the past week, but it didn't seem like that was bothering him. Yesterday afternoon I loosened his diaper...he's been fine ever since! He's growing out of size 1 already! He's only 2 and a half months old! Really? What a little chubster.

At the doc last Wednesday, Asher weighed 14.8 lbs. 24 inches long. He's in the 92 percentile. Gotta love chubby babies.
