A Tiny Hiney: First Asher, then mommy & now daddy....

It NEVER ends. Our house is always sick now!! :( I know it's all of the icky germs that Ash brings home from daycare and I hate it!! We are really good about washing our hands, toys, paci's & using sanitizer but it seems like it always comes right back. Asher is just now getting back to normal again after being on breathing treatments again for another week. Then I got an icky cold and now Mike is currently sprawled on the couch watching Chopped Champions and looks & feels miserable. Poor babe!!! Anyhow...hopefully we can beat it once again! I've never been sick this much in my life!! I used to always used to never use my 'sick' days so my manager let me use them as vacation days at the end of the year...but I think that idea is sadly gone....

Other than being sick, we have been staying busy. Church, football, park, walks, family, friends...lots of stuff going on. I can't wait for the weather to get cool again!! We were teased for a few days a couple of weeks ago and tomorrow it's supposed to drop 15 degrees!! Down to 85...yipeee!!

I can't believe Asher is days away from being NINE months old!!! NUTS! He's getting so big. He weighs 22.1lbs according to his last doc appt. He's wearing 12mo & some 12-18mo clothes. We have to put gel in his hair to keep it down because it's so fine and wispy, he is climbing up on EVERYTHING and is crawling EVERYwhere!! His little knees are red when we get him from daycare each day because he loves to crawl around all day. He loves when we read him books and cracks up when he stands in front of the couch and bangs his hands on it like he's playing the drums. He's drinking 4 bottles; usually at 7:30a, 10:30a, 1:30p & 4:30p. He also eats oatmeal with his lunch bottle and then at dinner he'll have some kind of veggie/fruit combo or smoothie. We've recently introduced snacks too...usually it's 'puffs' that dissolve in his mouth, more or less. He still seems to gag on small foods so I'm nervous about any other foods. I've given him a few tastes of table food [baked potato, bread, etc.] here & there but I still get nervous. He now has FIVE teeth and more on the way. He's a teethin-machine!! His bedtime is usually around 7:30p and he gets at 7:15a...like clock-work. Mike gets him ready and takes him to daycare and I pick him up in the afternoon each day. Mike is SUCH an amazing daddy...a million times more awesome than I thought [and I had pretty HIGH expectations!! ;)] Asher is such a happy baby. We thank God for him everyday. Now on to my photo-dump.....
