1 year down, 17+ to go :-)

Yep, that's right... Asher turned 1 year old today! Crazy that he's growing up so fast. The year hasn't flown by like I thought it would, but when I think of how little he used to be I realize maybe it went faster than I think it did :-)

We had a small party, just family and couple friends but it was so much fun! Asher hadn't taken a good nap all day but it worked out well considering he had a bit of a sugar high after the cake for a while. He loved his gifts (and the boxes of course) and I'm really excited to see what this next year brings for him and us. Even though he has bad and difficult days, he's learning so much and making lots of progress to becoming a good man! 

He has several "tricks" he likes to display... the cutest and newest of the bunch is when we say "Are you gonna wash?" he puts his hands up and rubs his head! So adorable! He also claps and drums on cue, throws a ball and hands stuff over to mama and papa... what else... oh yeah, when he's holding something like a towel, shirt or anything like that and you say "where's the baby?" he'll put it up over his face (even if it only covers his eyes) and then pull it down. Then we say "there he is!" and he laughs and smiles like crazy. Plus, he wanders around the downstairs pretty freely and is starting to bend over and pick up toys without falling over :-) Maybe soon he'll be able to get to standing without a table, basket or my leg!

Well, I hope you enjoy these birthday photos... hopefully I'll have more cute photos to post soon!
