He makes us laugh!
Asher is getting so big! He does so many things that Jeremy and I just sit and laugh about when he’s in bed. He makes us laugh. Just a few cute things he’s doing now…
-Several times a day he’ll jump up on the couch, cuddle up with the “comfy blanket” (just a white blanket we have on our couch, of no value whatsoever, ha!) and says, “Pooh” and points at the TV. He loves My Friends Tigger and Pooh. He would watch that and Imagination Movers all day long if we let him!
-He says, “no” in the most definitive way about everything and every question you ask him, like he’s disappointed that you would even suggest something to him. Whether it’s, “put your clothes in your hamper” or “would you like some grapes” or “let’s color” 99% of the time we get a big, fat, very confident, “no”. It’s like he’s the parent in the situation and really pained by our requests. It’s such a crack-up! Of course the real task is not letting him know we’re dying lauging!
-Very rarely does he call an animal by it’s name, he usually makes their sound. Elephants, they are his favorites! He says, “phhfffssstttt” and waves his arm around for the elephant nose.
-He loves to give us this look that has him glaring at us out of the very corner of his eyes. It’s a total “What you talkin’ ’bout, Willis?” look. I don’t even know how he does it. It hurts my eyes when I try to do it back. Ha!
-When he picks up a phone he says, “hi”, then flings his head back and laughs like Count Dracula, and then says, “bye, bye”. This whole “phone call” takes 2 seconds.
We love you, Asher! Thanks for making life so fun!
Here he is at the Science Center giving high 5’s to the lego dragon, and “asking” some random kid to go down the slide with him by holding his hand.

Oh, he is so precious! Kids are God’s proof that He has a seriously awesome sense of humor, right?! 🙂
I love reading about what Asher is doing and how he makes you laugh. I think it’s great how kid’s have such a huge “bubble” where Asher will hold a total strangers hand.
I loved this post…so fun! Jeff and I will do the same thing…stay up laughing about things that Addysen does! What a joy these kiddos are! On a side note, I think you’re going to have to post a video of Asher’s elephant noise. I have no idea what sound an elephant makes but it sounds like it’s a very fun one that I should be teaching Addysen too! 🙂
Great post, Rachel! I love hearing about all the funny things Asher is doing! He is a crack up! I was trying to sound out his elephant noise. . . I’m curious about it, too! We always say an elephant goes, “Ayyyyyyyy, ayyyyyy” No clue where we came up with that?! I’ve never really heard an elephant before. . .
what fun it is to see your kids get their own little personalities!
