Clean Up Crew

Usually Henry does the after dinner clean up.  When he's not available Asher gladly takes over.  Apparently the food is just as good after its sat on for an entire dinner in his chair.

Neighborhood Stroll

This is our new favorite activity.  A couple days ago he started to be more interested in his walker.  Yesterday I thought to try it outside for a small length and he walked to Daddy at the end of the sidewalk mowing the yard.  This morning he walked from one room to the next with his walker...so this afternoon we thought it would be fun to take the party outside.  He walked two houses down and back with a huge smile on his face pretty much the entire time (And on ours as well).

I Finally Like To Swing!

Everyday this week we've gone for an after dinner family walk, typically to the park.  Asher apparently likes to swing now :)  Amazing how one day they are terrified of something and the next they aren't!  Made for a fun night! 

Trail of Q-tip Destruction!

We're finding that everyday house items have the most entertainment value for all.   Yesterday morning he helped himself to the q-tips and today we played with my Nalgene bottle and some clothes pins.  He got so excited about the clothes-pins he hit himself in the face from all his flapping arm happiness.

Rain Rain Go Away

It was VERY rainy over the weekend and all of last week.  Luckily we had two birthday's to lighten the weekend up! (figuratively, not literally-I'm still low on my weekly vitamin D quota).

First we celebrated Grandma Laurie's birthday on Friday with some pulled pork, angel food cake and tissue paper (see upcoming blog post showcasing that entertainment).

Next up, we celebrated Auntie Angie's birthday on Saturday with some Patrick's deli, cupcakes and a trip to the playground.

Sunday we caught up around the house and went to the toy store to play with the trains. 

Good Morning Birdies

We were up a little after 5 Saturday morning.  Asher likes to sit outside, so I thought that would be a good activity to pass the time until the rest of the world woke up :)
