You enjoyed your very first trip this week! Grandma Jane and I took you to Las Vegas for Daddy's birthday and his client's annual salmon BBQ. You did wonderfully on the plane ride down there and the plane ride back up. No tears or anything. You were quiet and slept for an hour on the way there and an hour and a half on the way back. We were so thankful for that! You didn't even need to eat while the flights took over/landed, instead you were content to suck on your pacifier and play with a toy in your hands. Once we got to Las Vegas, the fun really started. You got to skip naps and go to bed late. You were really living it up Baby Style in Las Vegas! The second day we were there we drove up to Zion National Park in Southern Utah. We also went to Brigham Young's winter home in St. George and did a tour there. You did so well on the car ride and your grandma was so kind and sat in the back seat with you all of the way up there and all of the way back from there. The air in Zion National Park was so clean and we enjoyed looking at all of the gorgeous mountains. We rode in the shuttle bus around the park. We didn't get back from the hotel until 9:30pm and you were wide awake. It was a late night for you! The last night we were there was your daddy's birthday and we went with him to his client's BBQ at their helicopter hangar at the airport. It was a lot of fun and you enjoyed meeting all of daddy's friends.
Since getting home and back into your routine you seem to have made another large developmental leap. You are talking in a way that sounds closer to words and you are now sleeping from 7pm to 7am without your 10:30pm feeding. You can sit unassisted for quite awhile and are practicing lots of push ups. You love to eat sweet potatoes, and brown rice with bananas. I've made you some homemade baby food, but you aren't crazy for it yet. In fact you crack us up with a new face you make where you put your upper lip over your lower lip and clamp your mouth shut when you are done eating. We love it as much as it exasperates us!
On Saturday we took you to the Puyallup Fair. You seemed to really like the bunnies as those were the animals you could get closest to. You didn't seem to impressed by the horses or pigs however.
We have so much fun with you, Asher! We love you so much!
