The Great Pumpkin Carving 2012

Tonight we had the annual SherPlante pumpkin carving in preparation for Halloween tomorrow.  Asher was in rare form as he oversaw the carving. 

  Little did he know that all of his experiences in the Bumbo were actually preparing him for tonight! 

 

(For the record this was the last shot we took, he actually didn't mind being stuffed in a pumpkin - I don't want ya'll thinking we're bad parents :) )

 

 

A Cow Says "Coo"

Well you do if the cow is Asher.  Today Asher went to his first Halloween party.  He dressed up as...a cow!  (I know that's a shocker after reading the title of this post).  We met up with some of my friends from the various new Mom's groups I attended while on leave at Davanni's.  Later in the day Asher got up close and personal with his first pumpkin.  We rounded out the day with a nice walk through the park!

Talking Boy

I finally got a decent video of Asher talking.  He's pretty busy for 7AM on a Tuesday.

Fall Fun

 

We had an awesome weekend here at the Plante house! 
We celebrated Weston's 3rd birthday with a decorate your own pancake breakfast. 
We spent an hour and half frolicking in the dog park (we didn't, but Henry sure did)
We played in our first leaf pile of the season.
AND
We took some good naps :)

Dad and Son

I toke this picture early one morning this past weekend. The sleeping position looks like it could be a tad uncomfortable but Asher didn't seem to mind...as long as he was snuggling with Dad.

First Day of School!

Figures

That the last day of leave is the first day Asher wants to sleep in. We can't though because its time to go make friends at daycare! Here he is on the changing table trying to sneak in a few extra zzzzz's. :)

Baptism Day

Today Asher David was baptised.  Above are a few pictures of the baptism.  Starting from left to right is Asher with Father Harry, then with his Godparents (Matt and Katie), being baptised, Asher before we headed to church and finally with his yummy cake (Unfortunately he didn't get any but the rest of us though it was delicious).  Thanks to our family for a wonderful and special day!

Ice Cream

The things we do for ice cream...

(In case you're wondering, the flavor is chocolate peanut butter)

Quarter End Report!

Hi There!
It's me Asher again, I know I've been incognito for a few weeks but I've been a busy boy!  I'm back though to report on the last part of the 3rd quarter here at the Plante house- bottom line, we're all doing well and forcasting for an even better return on my investment this coming quarter.  (I bet my financey Dad would be proud of that last sentence :) )

Some things to note:
- I found out that big furry black thing is called a "Henry".  I just call him "Ooooo"- he doesn't seem to mind.
- I got to hang out with alot of my family this past month.  (We got a couple of pictures above to prove it!)  I managed to spit up on pretty much all of them- yup, I'm that good. hehehe
- I'm developing a good ear for music, my favorites are: Wheels on the Bus, Ram Sam Sam, these awesome silly songs my Dad makes up and..."Wide Awake" by Katie Perry.  Mommy and I like to dance around the house to that song when I'm wide awake ;)
- I like to have deep philosophical conversations with Mommy and Daddy.  Though I can only say "oooo", "ahhh" and "goo" they seem to understand what I'm trying to say.
- I still like to cuddle with Daddy before bed and with Mommy before I wake up in the morning, I think they enjoy the quiet time too.
- Oh and I'm a big boy now...I sleep all by myself in my cradle all night.  I usually only wake up once, around 3:30 for a mid-night snack!

Okay, it's about 7:30 PM- time for me to go put my crabby pants on for the evening! (some things haven't changed yet)  Catch you all later!
