1. Is mostly sleeping through the night. He gets up early and often snuggles up with us in our bed for a while before the big kids are up. He has NO PACIFIER anymore, but I do love to snuggle and rock him before bed. There's almost 100% chance that I will still be rocking him to sleep when he is ten :-) (Eli would never let us rock him so it is a special treat for me). He likes to sleep with his froggy or doggy stuffed animals most nights, but sometimes chooses a little action figure or even a book to sleep with.
2. Loves going to the zoo and has a great love for animals in general. He loves helping to take care of our animals and can't get enough of gorillas, monkeys, tigers, elephants, etc. He especially loves petting the goats at the zoo. He also loves my Mom's cats Rabbit and Eeyore and still picks them up even though they are about the same size as he is now. He loves collecting the chicken eggs or picking dandelions for the rabbit. Every day he carries his plate of scraps out and dumps it to the chickens. It is so cute!
3. Is my little monkey. He climbs everything and doesn't have a whole lot of fear. There's nothing more terrifying than being in the middle of cooking and looking back and seeing him teetering on the edge of the couch or table or something. He loves jumping off of things too. He is my only kid that is a crazy climber.
4. Responds to the nicknames of: Ash, Ash man, Asher smasher/crasher, monkey, and snuggle bear.
5. Loves running, taking walks, walking the dog, bike trailer, going to the playground which he can do all on his own now, playing with cars, airplanes, chalk, trampoline, farm toys, bubbles, kayaking, and swimming or anything that involves water.
6. He is a great communicator. He can talk amazingly and uses full sentences and even strings sentences together. It still blows my mind after Eli's speech problems how good Asher can talk. He can make all the sounds easily that Eli really struggled with and I do not take it for granted!
7. He loves music and dancing and will sing his little heart out in the car. He loves kids praise songs and Frozen songs. He also loves playing drums, shakers, and other musical instruments to music.
8. He is down to one afternoon nap.
9. Has only had one ear infection since he got tubes in his ears last fall! Praise God!
10. Loves picking and eating strawberries out of the garden. He loves eating and is a great eater. His favorite foods are all things Italian: pizza, spaghetti, lasagna, etc.
11. He loves playing active games like wrestling, hide and seek, tag, Star Wars fighting with light sabers, jumping.
12. He loves the outdoors and goes around smelling flowers, pointing out any animal he can find, examining bugs, and birds. He loves all the geese in our neighborhood especially.
13. Wears 2T clothes with super short little legs.
14. Is very affectionate and gives a lot of hugs, pats on the back, and kisses with a big "MAH". He loves to snuggle us or the other kids. He is very gentle with the dog and babies and pets their heads and pats the babies gently.
15. Asher's best friend is Brody Owens who he calls "Bro bro"
16. Loves going out on dates or adventures. He loves going to get donuts at the Donut Whole, going out for ice cream, or eating at Jason's Deli.
17. Hates getting into his carseat and that has definitely been a struggle over the past few months. Now he gets a tic tac if he gets in without a struggle and that seems to be working.
18. Pees in the potty at least once a day. I plan on fully potty training him after our vacations this summer.
19. As of June 12th, he has been without diapers for a week!
20. Had a monkey themed birthday party with Braggs, Cormans, and Donna. He had a great time eating monkey cupcakes, punch, making pizzas, and jumping at the trampoline park!
