Dear Asher: 21 Months

Dear Asher,

Happy 21-month birthday! Another great month in the books. We went to Dallas for Passover, we had friends come visit, and we finally got to enjoy some warm weather. You're just getting more and more fun.


Just like last month, you've gone through some major developments. You are chatting up a storm now, with tons of new words every day. You're like a parrot, repeating everything we say.  You know a lot of shapes, objects, vehicles, and sounds. You're especially good at animal sounds, and have even started making jokes pretending that a cow says baa and a duck says moo.


Speaking of jokes, you are a little comedian, making up jokes and doing silly things to make us laugh. This is the first month where it seems you are intentionally changing your behavior to get a certain reaction. I love it!


This is the first month also where you are able to understand and complete simple tasks. If we ask you to bring us a specific item, you can do it. You will (most of the time) listen if we ask you to bring your shoes in the morning, for example. Shoes are an easy one though because you are OBSESSED with being outside. You love walking and biking outside and will have a meltdown if we don't let you out--even in the cold and rain! Hearing you say "outside, outside" in your little voice makes me smile.


We think you're getting your two-year molars now. You've been a little sadder than usual and your hands are constantly in your mouth. Hopefully those pop out soon and you can get some relief.

Ash, we can't believe what a big boy you are. From sitting in your own seat, to brushing your own teeth (with help), to being a great little brother, you're turning out to be a wonderful little boy. We are so lucky to have you complete our family!

    I cannot believe how fast Asher is growing. He is definitely developing his very own special personality. I cannot wait to see both kids soon love ❤️�� PopPop
