23 Months

Only one more month until we have a two year old! We've definitely already seen some terrible two's behavior, but in general Asher is a really good little boy and sweet most of the time. Asher has two obsessions lately- bikes and trains and he talks about both of them quite a bit. If anything looks remotely like a bike or a train, Asher will let you know it's there. His language has started exploding, it seems like he comes up with several new words a day and out of nowhere he will start repeating things you say. One funny thing that he does is say "beep, beep" when someone is in his way. Austin and I say this to each other to be funny, I think its something I picked up from my mom, so now Asher says it all the time. Sometimes he talks in short sentences, and often he talks in long sentences that don't mean anything to anyone but him :) Asher is getting great at knowing everyone's name and saying it, but he won't say his own name. Last week when we were trying to get him to say it, we pointed to him and asked "who is this" and he proudly answered "Me!". He is really into having me kiss him whenever he is hurt or thinks he is hurt and does the same service for his brother when he cries. Its so cute to see Asher running over to Leif making smacking kissy noises trying to comfort his brother.As always Asher was difficult to get to sit still for photos and this is the best we could do.
