Oh where has the time gone!?!? Our baby is a year old already! He has 8 teeth. He takes about 7 steps at a time now and is a realllllly fast crawler. He likes to climb and is pretty strong, eeeek! He is 31.5inches and 23lbs. First spoken word was "dada" and first signed word was "more". Ashton loves to be outside, playing with his daycare buds, throwing the ball for Tundra, wrestling dada, bath time, FaceTiming Iowa peeps and reading Wiggle, Waggle, Woof! (sled dog book) He loves to eat and his current favorites are salmon, blueberries, and crackers! He is weaning from nursing which is exciting, yet sad. At the moment he gets up once a night and naps once a day. I am very grateful to have stayed home with him this year and am ready for another! We are excited for our Alaska summer with guests-- both grandparents, cousin Sydney, and hopefully Uncle Brandon and Aunt Deanna!
Unfortunately, our camera was throwing us fits and most of our recent pictures are blurry..... or maybe it just has difficulty focusing on our little wild man ;). But this is including Christmas in Iowa :(, so I don't have many pictures.
Here are just a few pictures of our growing dude and a couple adventures. Adam has more to come with icefishing/snowmachining/winter camping fun.
This picture was on his birthday. We Facetimed with his grandparents in Iowa and expected a big show.
This picture sums up what he thought about his cake that night!
Well, we are off to Hawaii tomorrow! Ash loves to be outside in the cold, we will see how he feels about the warmth! Keeping in mind he lived in his diaper all summer long when 60 degrees was hot for him!
