8 Months

Our sweet boy is 8 months old now. Still no teeth, but he's working his hardest at crawling. I expect him to be all over the house in the next couple of days. Right now he gets himself up on his hands and knees and then sort of throws himself the direction he wants to go, then gets up on his hands and knees and throws himself again. He's starting to work on the knee action so I expect some better results soon. :) He started saying "Mama" last week officially. Daddy is jealous that both boys have said Mama first. We expect "Dada" will be the next word although Alex is lobbying for Asher to say his name first...




I have to say I thought taking Ash's picture with the giraffe each month was a really good idea when he was immobile and couldn't pick it up. Now it's really tricky to get pictures where he's sitting there without the giraffe in his mouth, covering his entire face. ;)

Easter Weekend

Easter festivities this year were mostly curtailed by illness and bad weather...We have yet to dye Easter eggs (and if Alex didn't keep reminding me I'd just skip it this year.) We had one beautiful day last weekend (Saturday) so we did a fun Easter egg hunt at the Erickson farm. That at least appeased Alex on issue. The kids were cute though and we had a fun weekend.


A beautiful, sunny day!

Trying to get a shot of both boys when you're in a hurry to be at church by 8:30 am is not easy...

At least they're sort of looking at the camera.
