this is the place: Twenty One Weeks: First Taste of Oatmeal!

Asher, you are growing so quickly and everyday with you is truly a joy. As you get older and bigger you are getting to be more and more funny and quite the entertainer. You have started doing this fake cough whenever you want to make mommy laugh or get my attention in the car. It's adorable and the harder I laugh at it, the more often you do it. Last night you performed it for your Grandpa Don and Uncle Patrick. They were impressed and amused for sure.

This week you tried solid food for the first time ever. It wasn't the biggest hit with you. You were definitely interested in the spoon and mouth movements, but you didn't seem too keen on the taste of the baby oatmeal. Plus you started waking up multiple times at night the days you tried the oatmeal. We decided to take a break from it for a few weeks and will start it again when you seem more ready.

This week you went to Daddy's Blue Angels Party at his work's rooftop deck. You enjoyed chatting with lots of coworkers and friends. By the time the Blue Angels flew overhead you were fast asleep in the Ergo. You also went to a BBQ at your friend McKinnley's house. You enjoyed chatting with new friends there. It was also at the party that you started trying to grab everything in our hands. This is a new development and seemed to happen overnight. Now we have to be careful what we put within your reach.

We love you so much, sweet boy! You are truly a joy to be with and the love of our lives!
