Month of May: Part II

I am determined to get caught up and if that means you get photo dumps for the month of May and June then so be it but I will be caught up. My computer died...like gone for good. Thankfully I got all my pictures off before it went to computer heaven. However, now blogging about them without them on the computer has proven difficult because I have to have the giant external hard drive plugged in and with a newborn & two year old I haven't had time to pull it all out. I would probably blog more once I catch up but am constantly saying I can't blog until I've caught up. Soo I've got 15 minutes before little miss wants to eat. We will see how far in part II of May I get....

I left off with our nephew being born the Saturday before Mothers Day.

Mothers Day we went to Kingwood and then I stayed the week. I'll do separate post on Mothers Day & week with Vicki. Back to random picture/updates from May

Doctor appointment...

Culvers deliciousness during my trip to Kingwood (separate post coming)

 I mean these two kill me. I love it.

Chowing down. These are the moments I love. A normal May afternoon sitting at the table eating some lunch hanging out with mom.

 This particular day at the park Ascher went down the big boy slide. He went over and over again. He was so brave. I was so nervous every time he went to the top because right next to the slide is an open ladder down. Not the smartest planning. I was so worried that he would decide he wanted to try the ladder- thankfully he just slid over and over again.

 These things are fabulous. Every night we ask, what color bath do you want to take tonight? He LOVES it.

 My little baby maybe growing up and getting big but he still is a little boy to me. And he still falls asleep in his carseat.

My guilty pleasure. We don't have one where we live. However, there is one by my sister in laws house and one in College Station so anytime I go to either place I must get one. ADDICTED.


For Memorial Day we went to Bandera (whole post on it to come as well). The end of May was just some more every day fun.

 little girl growing.

 Ascher trying out sisters bouncer- we worked in the nursery a lot and unpacked and washed a lot of baby stuff. Ascher loved trying it all out.

 Ascher sure knows how to play hard. This was after a play date with Kallee & Rachel at Chickfila. He passed out on way home. I moved him to bed and changed his diaper without waking him up. He was OUT.

 Pip is totally sensing the baby coming. He is acting so different. I love this photo of him. He insisted on laying with me on the bed like this. Love my first born, Pippy Poo!

 Trying out our new double stroller as a single stroller. He thought he was cool stuff and I must admit. He is quite a stud.

 We made slime with Metamucil. Ascher loved it but it didnt turn out the way I imagined. I think I'll stick to purchasing it from now on.

 King of the yard.

Little boys in the dirt. He adores being outside. He would stay outside all day- every day if I would let him. Even when its raining he asks to go outside and watch it. I love that he loves being outside.

So our month of May was crazy!! We did all kinds of things...the zoo, errands, doctor appointments, visits from long time friends (Vicki came to Kingwood- separate post), Tyler for baby shower (separate post), park & play dates, Bandera, dinner with friends and just living the good life. Life is good and we are blessed.

Ascher

16 months

July 29, 2013

So I am terrible once again…tomorrow he turns 17 months old and here I am writing his 16 month post. Granted, I keep track of everything on my phone so I guess I’m not too behind…I’m only behind in documenting it on the blog.

·         Still a flat 22 lbs.

·         Size 4 diapers, still 12 mon or 18 month clothes (Polo shorts size 9month hang off him and he can fit into most 9month Polo shirts as well)

·         Still has seven teeth- four on top, three on the bottom

·         Chews on every elephant trunk we have

·         Puts sunglasses on the right way & is able to put his hat on

·         Loves water again- not so much being IN it as much as he loves to play WITH it

·         TALKS ALL THE TIME

·         Still takes two naps a day (between 10-11 and then again between 1-2:45)

·         Would live outside if he could

·         Bread is his favorite food

·         Plays peek-a-boo all the time. You say, “Where’s Ascher?” and he hides his face

·         Waves at everything & everyone

·         Loves to be chased- thinks its hilarious

·         Carries stuffed animals around and gives them hugs & gives Pip hugs too

·         Loves to dance to all kinds of music (Cutest video of him dancing on Sunday morning before church- hilarious)

·         Obsessed with his cousins

·         Climbs on everything

Life in July

Once we got home from Utah life slowed down as far as going places. Ascher and I were as busy as ever. I took a picture of my calendar of July. Wow. Every day is packed with stuff. Granted, I write down everything- menu, what we did, apts (everything color coded mind you) : ) So I'll give a quick run down on some things we did in July...

played in the backyard pool

had playdates (both Mommy & Baby)

went to Avery's 5th Birthday party

Grammy came to visit 

loved on Pip...a lot. They are best friends.

Got our hair cuts

You can't really tell in pic. Left I have makeup on- Right I do not.
Left it is straight- Right she curled it after highlighting it.

He wasn't very good at posing either. ; ) 

And just played...here are some of my favorites from July

my little Aggie 

 playing on the ipad

 a whole post to come of these photos....I died of cuteness so I may or may not have taken a lot of photos.

The power went out one night and it was super hot. Little man thought it was most comfy to sleep on my chest...I was sweating by the time I moved him.

When did he get so big!?!

my two loves

Here is a pic I took of calendar at beginning of month and the end of the month. Wow.

Pippy Poo

We were really worried how our first born, Pip (our furry friend) would cope with Ascher being born. He is very spoiled and is totally my baby so I was really worried he would be mean to Ascher or not like him. Boy we're we wrong. From the day we came home from the hospital Pip has been a best friend to Ascher. He was so good when we introduced them. He sniffed his feet and after a few minutes of sniffing him laid down in between Justin and I like ok, this is my family now. 

And it didn't stop when we introduced them, he is by his side at all times.
