I cant beleive how logn its been since i last blogged!the summer has been absolutely crazy.ball tournaments,my parents house sale,weekends here weekends there,family coming,vacation in florida,getting ready for baby..and so much more! we jsut got back from vacation with Matts family in florida.we had a wonderful time despite me being 34 weeks pregnant!:)it was a relaxing adn fun week but i was very ready to come home and get to nesting.c-section is scheduled for sept. 18th which is 3 weeks away and i cant beleive how fast its coming up.on the way home from our vacation,my mom called me and said shes coming down in 3 days to help me do my canning!SURPRISE!i love love love these kind of surprises.we got soo much done the past 3 days and i feel more ready then ever to have this baby!asher loves his mimi so very much and LOVES when she is here!we took her to the airport tonight and about 15 minutes after we dropped her off he said"momma,where mimi??" he looked very confused.:)but she is coming back 2 days before the c-section and is staying for 10 days!!i cant wait! a little about Asher-this stage is so far the besy yet,although every stage he is in i say that.it just keeps getting better.but right now,he is soooo much fun!he talks so much and can pertty much tell us what he wants,we dont always understand so we play the guessign game,he gets very frustrated when we dont guess right,but once we figure out what he wants,he smiles really big,nods his head dramatically and says "YESSSS!!!"its possibly the cutest thing ever:)he has a mouthful of teeth!i keep thinkin hes teething,cause he loves to have his hands in his mouth and then he drools,but i have no idea where another tooth would fit:)he is so active,and loves all the boyish things that his daddy loves.his daddy is yb far his hero,and im not jsut saying that,he really really is!right now his favorite things are,cars,trucks and choo choo's.my sister karen sent him a box last week with a truck that had a trailer that has two levels that you can make one level,each leves has 2 cars on it,he loves this toy,and plays with it all day everyday.at night,i put all his toys away except for taht truck,i set that up by the fire place,all nice like,and every morning he wakes up,walks out in the living room and acts like he is soo surprised and ticked to see it:)he has the craziest exspressions.i dont think ive ever seen a kid with so many exspressions,right now he has this thing of openening his mouth as wide as he can(a surprised look)and then he covers his mouth with his hand and smiles.i really need to get a picture of it cause it is just so darn cute!he loves to play with shoes and hats,and usually he finds one of his daddys shoes adn wears it around the house,along with a hat.he loves to play outside like this.matt can never find his one shoe:)he loves to skype his aunts and mimi,and know exactly what the sound of skyping is and always runs to me and scurries up on my lap.right now his favorite thing is when we skype my sister karen(who he calles "tee-tee" cause we call her kiki)she has 3 girls that love to run around and do flips,and karen will put the camera on the so he can watch,anytime she turns the camera back to her he gets upset,he jsut wants to watch his cousins:)its actualy a great babysiter:)we bought him a fish about a month or 2 ago and he thinks the world of his "ishy"fora long time he insisted on saying "nightnight"to fishy and giving the fish bowl "knuckles"which is something he does with his daddy all the time:)everynight,before he goes to sleep we pray together,we hold hands and i will pray,a few nights ago for the first time after we said "amen" he looked at me and said"mimi,papa"so we had to pray for mimi and papa too:)love seeing my boy growing up and becoming so smart.we have a candy jar in the kitchen that usualy has m&m's in it or candy corn,anytime i give him some i only give him 2 peices,so he started going to the candy jar and saying "two?two?" or he will reach up to the jar and ill say"how many asher?"and he will hold up his one finger(he hasnt figured otu how to do 2:))and say"two?":)today matt took him to his cousins football game and when they got home asher kept saying "touchdown".everytime he says a new word,or repeats something i say,it jsut shocks me,i cant beleive my son is at that age already!!he is so very friendly,for the most part,sometimes he jsut acts really shy but most times,whenever we leave somewhere,a restaraunt or whatever,he will go to all the people around hime,wave and say "bye.bye" and just recently he also started going saying "hi" whenever someone comes up to him.but of course,whever its a time we want him to say it,he wont.has to be on his terms:)just this week he started telling me when he has to poop.at first i thought he was just playing but then i realized,he will grab his butt and say poo,and then start pushing.which meens its time to potty train.i have played with the idea of training him before the baby,and originally had planned to but when our family vacation got pushed forward two weeks due to a death in our church,and i had been planning on training him AFTER vacation,i kinda decided to wait till after baby.im afraid ill train him and after baby he'l relapse since its so close to the due date now.so ive decided to wait.but as soon as im feeling re-covered i want to get on it,if hes telling me he has to poop,im pretty sure hes ready.:)and who knows,sometimes i do spur the moment things,maybe i will train him next week:)im so eager to see asher as a big brother!i cant wait to see the him helping me with the baby and eventualy the two of them interacting.im really curious as to how he will respond to another child around the house.i am so so so excited to have two.as is matt-it made me so happy when the other day he said hes so excited abotu having two..we really havent talked about our excitement abotu the baby to much just cause were so busy with life:)but i wanted to journal about where ashers at in life so i dont forget this fun stage:) knowing me,the nxt time i blog i will have two:)so until then....
