Today Asher turned 10 months old. I don't know if it is that he is the 3rd child or that he is the baby of the family, but having Asher turn 10 months old is so sad for me. Our baby is growing up so fast, too fast. I love being able to watch the transformation and see all of his firsts and little developments. Asher continues to be a go-getter, taking risks that we wish he wouldn't. Although he is still crawling, he is cruising more and more. He stands alone, but just briefly. He is very hesitant, as far as the walking thing goes, away from the couch or Mommy's hands. He does crawl upstairs well, but only when Mommy is right there so far. He says Mama and Dada and I swear he says HI having the girls say HI to him all the time. He is beginning to understand the meaning of "no" but cries whenever we have to say it. He loves playing peek-a-boo and playing with building blocks and he really, really loves to swim. We go to open swim and just loves the pool! Asher is looking forward to getting some boy toys, maybe for his birthday. I have gotten out the crayons and play-doh, but he just wants to eat them at the moment.
Asher is finally sleeping better, from 7:30-6:30 or 7 in the morning. He usually takes one nap from 12:30-4, but sometimes splits that up with a morning and afternoon one depending upon when he wakes up for the day. He is still nursing 3x a day, but Daddy is insisting I increase the cup and decrease the nursing. So, starting today, he will go to 2x a day, morning and night, with a cups of bmilk in between. He is eating mostly table foods now. He just woke up one day and decided he was done with baby food (having 6 teeth now helps, too). I still give him a jar at each meal along with the table food, and he does okay with that. He is a challenge in his hairchair as he as started to stand up in it. So funny, I put the straps away with Addison as I never needed them. Asher, I need to get them back out and use them!
Now, we have 2 more months until Asher Wade will celebrate his first birthday. For now, he is our baby at 10 months.
