Boy oh Boy oh Boy!

Thats right, were having another boy! I can't believe I'm going to surrounded by ALL boys in my house. Even both dogs are boys! What am I getting myself into?! Asher and baby brother will be about 20 months apart and hopefully will be best friends! When I ask Asher where the baby is he just points to himself. I guess he's 100% correct with that, but it makes me sad to think its only for a few more months!

As of yesterday I am 24 weeks, so I guess that makes me 6 months along? I feel huge already and still have a way to go. I guess I'll just embrace it and know my baby is growing healthy and strong!

#2

We are so excited for Asher to be a big brother! I'm due only a couple of weeks after my little brother Tyler comes home from his mission. He wasn't here when Asher was born so I'm excited that he will be here this time.

Cheers to the next 6 months!

ketchup!

My baby is not a baby any more. He has changed so much in the last couple of weeks.  On Wednesday he took his first steps! I was so happy I was there. He has gotten better at it everyday, but would still prefer to crawl to get places quick. On Thursday he started blowing kisses to me from the back seat! I had tears in my eyes  as he looked at me all smiley while blowing kisses! I love that baby so much.

Update on the house... we are waiting to hear back from the bank [still]. ugh. I seriously loathe short sales. In the end it will all be worth the wait though cause we will get a screaming deal on our dream house. We can't wait til move in time!

Asher's birthday is in less than a month! What?! We have been planning his party for a little while now and can't believe its going to be here before we know it! I'm going to have a one year old who walks around. Am I old enough to have a kid thats 1? Apparently, since I do.

Cam and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary last weekend and it was much needed. It is the first time we left Asher so I had a hard time, but we were able to facetime with him so I got my baby fix. We stuck with tradition and went up to the Biltmore again. I drove a Maserati!! It was sweet! I'm not sure we will be going back though. This year was the worst of the 3 times we have been. They normally treat us exceptionally well, but this time was just whatever. I was so glad I was able to spend the weekend with just Cameron. He is a great husband and father. I am so grateful for him!

9 months down

I wish the 9 months of pregnancy went as fast as the last nine months. Or rather, I wish the last nine months went as slow as pregnancy. My baby is growing up way to fast and there is nothing I can do about it!

9 month stats:

Weight: 20 lbs 14 oz - 50%

Height: 30 in. - 95%

Head Circ. - 45 cm

And 9 things about Asher:

1. He is all over the place. He army crawls everywhere. I've tried so hard to get him to crawl normal, but he is super fast so I don't see him changing.

2. I can usually always find him in the pantry

3. He is obsessed with Mickey Mouse, and the Hot Dog Dance!

4. He is pulling himself up to everything. The walls, tv, couch, dog kennel, fireplace, crib, everything.

5. He loves music. He will try to sing along in church.

6. He likes to eat all of mom and dads food.

7. He loves to swim!

8. He is a mamma's boy 100%

9. He loves Toby. Unfortunately, Toby isn't quite there yet...

3 more months and this boy is going to be 1! I can't believe it!

Its official

We are moving!

So long "starter house" we are on to bigger and better! Well, not quite yet. As of now we are moving in with my parents to until we find bigger and better! We decided a couple months ago to try and sell our house to see if we'd get any bites and lets just say the fish were biting! After 3 offers, we have sold our house! I am grateful for the learning experience that this has been. I learned that I never want to live in Westwood boundaries again! They are mean to us Toros! We have to be our before the 5th of April which means I have a lot of packing to do! We will move into Tyler's room for a little while (hopefully) while we search for our perfect house. I have a wish list and I don't plan of deviating from it at all. Were super excited and stressed to begin this whole process again. I know we will find something good... eventually!

6 months

Asher is six months old...

Yep, already HALF year!

I have no idea how I let time get away from me, but I wouldn't change it! He is so fun and smiley I just can't get enough of him!

6 month stats:
Height - 27 1/4 in. - 75%
Weight - 17 lbs 5 oz - 50%
Head Circ. - 43 3/4 - 50%

This little boy brings so much joy into our lives. He is more and more like me every day. I swear if he was any more like me he would BE me! He is sitting up for a good amount of time before tipping over, starting to scoot around and rolling all over. I'm sure pretty soon he will be moving all over the house. He snorts when he laughs, scrunches his nose and furrows his eyebrows when he's excited, grabs his ears when he is scared, and makes mom and dad laugh all day! He is such a sweet baby!

*Six month and family pictures to come when I'm at my own house!

Bring on the new year

As sad am I am to see 2011 go, I'm excited for new things to come. 2011 was good to me, up to this point it was the best year for me. The past two years have been big for me so I don't know what I am going to do this year to top it!

Lets go through the best of the best of 2011 shall we?

Movie

C - Just Go With It

J - New Year's Eve (okay, maybe just because that's the most recent and I can't think of any other movies)

TV Show

C - New Girl

J - Heart of Dixie

Project

C - Stenciled Wall

J - ditto. Even though I didn't do it, I still like looking at it

Perhaps the best part of the year was the birth of my sweet boy! He's 5 months as of tomorrow. It is so weird to say that my baby was born last year. Whaaat??

Heres to a fabulous year! May all your wishes come true!
