9 Months Old...1 week late :-(

So here are Asher's 9 month pictures. It seems like the computer is the last thing I make time for these days. Besides regular family stuff, we are starting to really get involved with our new church and making family and friends time a priority, so computer is just not onthe list right now. Plus, I try very hard to nap when Asher naps in the afternoon to provide a semi-fresh wife for my fabulous husband when he gets home from work. Needless to say, I am a week late posting these, but enjoy. He is growing so fast. He had his 9 month check up last week and continues to be in the 90th percentile for height and weight. He weighs 25 pounds and is 30 inches long. He is currently in 18 month clothing and growing out of them as we speak.

Just this morning was the first time I didn't have to carry him upstairs. It took us a little bit, but he climbed them all by himself. It was nice not to be winded upon reaching the top. I seem to be out of breath a lot with this prenancy. The doctor says things are just moved up and squishing my lungs.

I have a feeling he will be walking before he is 10 months. He walks with us and stands on his own.

Please pray for David, Asher and his 4 babysitters this weekend. I will be at our church's women's retreat. I am nervous, but know 1st of all he is in the best of hands, the Lord's, and second in the most capable and loving hands, his baby sitters. David works Friday and Saturday, so I did baby sitters in shifts. Friday afternoon 1-6:30, Saturday is 6:30-10, 10-2 and 2-5:30. Asher (and David and I) are so blessed to have such loving willing arms. You know who you are and we love you all very much!!

We hope to make it to a pumpkin patch next week, I will try to post pictures. Til then...


I was taking the pictures by myself and just lucked out snapping this one, he was heading off the end of the chair and I must have snapped the picture just before I reached out to stop him.


As many of you have seen, this is one of Asher's favorite faces these days. He gets so excited about everything, and this is how he looks. Most of the time his feet and hands are going around in circles while he makes this face. We love it!
