My Little Pumpkin



One Happy Family!

Asher and I recently took a road trip to Montana. Yup, that is what I said. Just me, Asher and the road. Thankfully, I didn't take Bode, because I may have tried to give him away somwhere around Roger's Pass. The trip was challenging, wonderful and we are so thankful that it smoothly, but nobody can replace Asher's Daddy when it comes to taking care of this little one. He missed his Daddy lots and so did I.
Trick or Treat!
We spent time with Grandpa Phil, Uncle Travis, Mimi, Papa, great grandparents and many aunts and cousins.

Checking out Jack's cool play mat together...

We visited with lots of Hi-line friends and even trick-or-treated at a few houses in Gildford. I wish we had more time to visit and enjoy the outdoors. The weather was gorgeous while we were there. It got up to at least 70 degrees one day, and the sun was out almost every day.

Grandpa Phil set up a play area in the living room at the farm complete with a ball suspended from the ceiling. Asher loved it, and loved having so much space to roll around in.


He is now mobile and I am just getting used to the idea that I need to keep things out of his reach. Pretty soon, he'll be crawling and then pulling up on things, Yikes! No, it is fun to see him do new and different things, every day. It seemed like he changed so much just on our trip to Montana. He is babbling and sputtering quite a bit now, and he is so interested in playing with practically everything.

We continue to attempt some new foods, but he doesn't seem too interested. He won't be wasting away any time soon. At is 4 month appointment he weighed in at 19 lbs, 9 oz. and 27" long, so that puts him in the 75% and 50% respectively.

I wish I had some Montana pictures to share, but unfortunately, the digital camera failed me and erased the pictures that I had taken. We did dress him up as a pumpkin for his daddy when we got home to Bremerton.
