Happy Birthday Ashlito!

 Happy First Birthday Asher!!! I sure love my little guy!!! Asher is a different splash to the Brower family. He is so different than Gage in so many ways and sometimes I am amazed I can love two totally different boys with so much intensity. I have such a snuggler in Asher. He loves to cuddle up but he also is so busy. I had a friend watching him the other day and she said "he is one of the most curious babies I've ever met" and it's true! I can dangle anything in front of him and he'll be jumping out of arms just to get to it. Since he's begun crawling his curiosity has only gotten worse and he fills his days with learning everything he can.

He has the most brilliant blue eyes and I believe his eyes are about the only feature I can claim to have come from me for sure. He has all the baby boy chubbiness to go with his ever smiling face. In fact now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I've never come up to him without being greeted with a smile, even in the middle of a breakdown.

Asher is also the worst car traveler I have ever met. I'm talking about full out, top of his lungs, cannot be dissuaded from his tantrum, yelling. His Grandpa Kelley can attest to it. Somehow it still adds to his charm. He's also fascinated with music. Especially at church, the music will kick on and he'll swing his head back and forth till he finds the source and then he'll just look at it, soaking it all in. He's also enamored with his big brother and thinks that everything he does is funny. Lately Gage has been riding around on a little race engine car we have at the house and his favorite thing to do is have Asher hold on to the back and try to make him walk around with it. Gage loves being a part of this baby's life. And oddly he has never shown jealously towards Asher and I think it's because he loves having him in the family too. 

Asher, you're a pleasure to be around and we love the unique, loving little fellow you are.

And this is the little guy we love so much.
