1/2 a year old...

Our happy boy is 6 months old... and we can't believe it!

he loves this monkey these days... it makes him so happy!

he also loves standing and does it quite often...

and he is getting to be a pro with tummy time!

but his favorite is sitting... he is not totally stable yet, mommy still has to help keep him upright but he loves it!

oh Asher Bean... we love you.
Happy 6 month birthday little man!

Game Day... Fight On!

Asher was excited to route on the Trojans last Saturday... he was all dressed for the big game!

Fight On for USC!

Cow Jacket...

Asher's Auntie Jill gave him this adorable jacket... it's too cute not to take pictures!

He loves it when daddy comes home and takes him for walks or to the swings!

The rat... or mouse... not sure

We arrived home the other night to find this surprise on our doorstep... hmmmmm... what to do???

Husbands should take care of these things, right? And look how happy he is about it...

This creature found his end in a sealed up zip lock bag in our trash can... and man, he WREAKED!!!!!! I had to put the trashcan outside the garage the next day... SOOO nasty!

Thank you husband... you are the BEST!

Learning to swing...

It's a good way to get a little vitamin D everyday!

First tooth...

It is extraordinarily hard to get a photo of his little teeth... he LOVES to stick his tongue out over them whenever we pull his lip down... OH BEAN!

And yet... there it is in all it's glory! :)

And yes, that is a TROJAN blanket! Fight on!

Other pics from wedding weekend...

Asher's first plane!!!!!
He was an awesome traveler... he slept on the way up, played, and the sat with me on the way down. We were so proud of our little man!

Small side note... I looked down at the floor at one point to get my drink and randomly I saw a nose & a paw there... Lo and behold, there was a seeing eye dog on our plane. Amazing... he was SO good!

Rehearsal and lunch at the Riverview Country Club on Saturday... amazing view of the river!!

T&Faith eating lunch!

It was an added bonus that I got to spend some time with one of my favorite ppl in the whole world, Holly! Jas was a groomsman in the wedding so they were there the whole weekend with...

one of my favorite kids of all time... baby J, Jeremiah!

We sat with my cousin Drew for lunch

The big guy doing his usual thing... making the rounds! He was awesome!

Uncle Todd got some bean time before all the business of the wedding day.... Bean loved you Uncle Todd!

Then pics with Daddy... ahhhh

Asher was on melt down status by the time we left there... so everyone had to make sad faces to go along with his!

I love being a family of 3!!

Saturday night dinner with our fam at The Rivers restaurant, apparently one of the best restaurants in town. It was so fun to see everyone and get to hang out. Asher was passed around by some many people that wanted to love him and I got to eat my dinner without a baby on my lap! It was nice. Thanks for holding him everyone!
