More Words

Asher is suffering from a double ear infection but since one of his ear drums finally gave up and ruptured, perhaps we no longer sound like we're all talking to him from deep underwater. I'm amazed that his language skills change so rapidly. Mark my words, this kid is going to be a talker like his dad.

Maybe I'm just hopeful that these are actual words (since he's no where near walking I have to cling to something, right?) but I think we can add a few more to his repertoire. Maybe his first sentence will be, "No, Ike, don't."

Asher's First Official Word?

Asher sure babbles and jabbers on quite a bit. Yesterday Clark pointed out that it sounded a lot like he was saying "Ike" while he was around his brother. I didn't quite believe it until this morning. Asher and I were hanging out on the couch waiting for Ike to wake up. As soon as Ike came downstairs, Asher started belting out his name. What do you think- coincidence or Asher's first word?

Student of the Week

Booker is Student of the Week in his class. It's always fun discovering what your kids think about themselves. Here's what Booker wanted his classmates to know about him...

My family, my brother Ike, my dog Fergus, Go Giants (his t-ball team), my cousins, I was born in Mesa.
I LIKE: Music, Angry Birds, Shaun the Sheep, Star Wars, Legos, licorice, Bakugan, Harry Potter, Bubblegum, swimming, Animal the Muppet and riding my bike.
Also, the typophile in me couldn't resist making him chose his own font for his name. He picked Fonts Bomb Jigsaw because "he loves doing puzzles."
