My Baby Turned One

I cant believe Asher has already turned one. Its been a crazy year but I wouldnt have traded it for the world. We didnt really celebrate Ashers birthday yet because we wanted to celebrate it with some close family and friends. And if you know my dads profession he is EXTREMELY busy from October til April. So we are celebrating in this next Sunday. When that time comes I will post pictures and write a little more about it. But for now I just wanted to write down some things he has been doing.

Asher At Age One:
  • weights 20 pounds (25th percentile) 
  • is 28 inches (10th percentile)- we have a short stalky baby on our hands.
  • He has four teeth. -- his two front teeth have a huge gap in between them we found out today its because of the skin that is attached to his lip goes clear down to the bottom of his gums, they said if something doesnt happen at 18 months we might have to go see an ears, nose and throat doctor from them to cut it. 
  • Which brings me to my next point, Asher has a hard time breathing through his nose and is a huge snorer, he has a hard time sleeping at night, which is why I cant say Asher sleeps through the night, When talking to our doctor about it he said Asher nose passage is too small for his body, and he might have some problems with adenoids?. They also said that they cant really do anything about it till he is 18 months old. so we will see.  but he still wakes up from this nose problems probably any where from 1-4 times a night.
  • Asher also has one eye thats a little crossed we are watching for that as well and might have to see an eye doctor for it when he turns 18 months 
  • He has been walking since 9 months old and hasnt stopped there, he now climbs on couches over the baby gate, and even pushes things  over to stand on them when something is just a little too high for him. 
  • He says lots of words such as: GO GO GO, No, yes,  Mom, dad, more, dadis ( there it is), hey, hi, hello ( heywo), num num  and a lot of others things we cant understand. 
  • Knows some sign language, more, tired, thirsty, hungry.
  • Still taking two naps a day ( one hour each) 
  • fitting into 18 month tops and 9-12 month pants 
  • can eat everything but his favorite foods are Bananas, pineapple, oatmeal, and chicken, and milk
  • He hates juice,
  • officially taking pacifiers only at nap time and bed time. 
  • Still cant do stairs 
  • Loves dancing
We truly love this little boy and everything he brings to the table, my life wouldnt be the same without him, he truly is everything to me and cant wait to see where he progresses next.
