Dear Asher,
Happy 22-month birthday! Now that the weather is finally getting warmer, you get your wish and get to play outside a lot more these days. You can never seem to get enough. You are such an outdoor kid. Last weekend we were able to introduce you to the pool. It took some time for you to warm up to the idea of the water, but soon you were ready to dive in the deep end (while holding on to mommy and daddy, of course).
You can now play with kids your age, and even some older kids. We had friends over for Memorial Day weekend and one of the little girls told her mom (hi Dani!) that, "Asher is a big kid like me." Yeah you are, kid!
Things aren't all sunshine and roses though. You've started throwing and hitting toys, and often you aim for people's heads. We had to leave a mom's group event because you hit two of the kids.
Your vocabulary is growing by the day. You said "I love you" and will now say it regularly, when prompted (click to see embedded video). I'm not sure you really know what it means, but I love it. You also say all the letters of the alphabet after me, but sometimes when you don't feel like it, you'll add the word "no" in front of all the letters. Like, "No, A. No,B. No, C." You'll do that all the way through. It's really funny.
I don't want to jinx anything, but we may have dropped the bottle. You have been drinking from cups for a while, but for whatever reason, you decided that at home you only wanted milk out of a bottle. We were literally down to one bottle, and we constantly lived in fear of losing it. That picture at the pool was the last time you asked for it, so fingers crossed this sticks.
You're also a classic little brother. That is to say, you're a nudnik! You chase Zahara around and want to be doing whatever she is doing. She doesn't always love that, which only results in you trying even harder to be with her. It's mostly entertaining for us, and we're glad that you two really do love each other.
Happy 22-months, Ash! We love you!
