Growing fast

I know it's been forever, and please don't kill me because this post isn't even going to contain pictures. But I just wanted to write a quick update.

Asher can rollover in a fraction of a second now. He can push up on his hands, but can't quite get on his knees yet... but I think any day now. While on his tummy and pushed up with his hands, he likes to scoot back. He can actually get around a good deal between rolling and scooting with his hands. I am soooo not ready for this mobility! The house needs cleaning and babyproofing!!

Also, the other day Asher started clapping on his own! He was sitting on Brent's lap [side note: Asher can sit up unsupported for short periods of time now before falling over], just hanging out, and he started clapping his hands together. He has been "clapping" or rather banging his hand on another person's hand or face or whatever for a little while, but this time he got the coordination to clap his own two hands together and it was SO cute :) It was even cuter when he would miss and his hands would pass each other every so often.

We also lowered Asher's crib mattress. We probably didn't have to yet, since he's not pulling up on things, but he spewed (to use Rozzy's word) on the bumper one evening, so we just decided to take it out and lower the mattress. His crib looks so bare now without the cute bumper, so I will have to hang the quilt from the crib set up on the wall to give some visual stimulation. The other annoying thing about no bumper--Asher's pacis keep falling through the rails on the side against the wall and then I have to fish them out with a yard stick.

Tonight, Daddy babysits while I go to opening night of the Sex and the City movie with my friend Jenn. Yay!
