My baby is one year old!
On a day when I was struggling waiting for a baby of my own, If someone could have shown me the tiniest snippet of my life now, of my sweet little boy, of our little family, I probably would have died of happiness. It would have made it a lot easier to wait, knowing how good it was going to be. Knowing how perfect, sweet and beautiful my little baby boy would be. Knowing how wonderful it would be to be a mama to this little guy. Knowing how amazing it would be to see Marcus be a daddy. And now, obviously, the wait was so worth it. And even though I will never forget the pain and uncertainty (mostly the uncertainty. The question 'will I ever be a mom?' sure has a way to stir up quite a bit of anxiety.) it almost seems like that wait was so long ago.
My sweet baby boy is one! ONE!
At twelve months Asher:
Weight: 20 pounds 10 ounces (20 percentile)

Hates:

-When anyone takes something away from him. he can throw the biggest fits.
-being in his highchair any longer than he has to be. the second he is finished he wants out.
He says three and a half words:

He is SO cute! I love reading his updates because they are SO much like Connor. He does the MMMM thing too all of the time when he's hungry, likes something, etc...So fun! I am waiting for pictures from your super cute party!!!
Love this little guy! I can't believe how fast time goes. It seems like he was just born not too long ago! And then I'm reminded that I have one that's not too far behind your little one! Crazy and so fun that we get to be moms to these crazy boys of ours :)
I've got a lot of catching up on your blogs to do! Asher is so cute! I love that you have these great pictures of him for each month. He will love seeing this when he gets older.
