Asher's first birthday!

hi Romelia and Nay,
I'm sorry i am So behind.

here are pictures from asher's birthday party.

we just had close family and friend's come celebrate the blessing that asher has been and all of the joy he has brought us. he had a birthday cookie instead of a cake because he seems to like cookies more than cake.

we were so glad the koppelins could join us.

Asher is walking like a pro now.
saying lots of words like "dog" "flower" "bubble" and his special version of "school bus"
he loves animals, air planes and the moon.

love you guys!

maria, steve, and asher.

happy mother's day

happy mother's day Romelia!
i can never tell you how much it means that i get to be a mother today. and you made that possible.
i am so thankful to you!

much love,
maria

11 months old

 oh my stars. i am so sorry i haven't posted in sooo long. we went into the holiday time warp and barely made it out.

asher is chatting up a storm. he has attempted to say "bird" "button" "bottle" "hat" "dada" and other things too!

he is still just cruising around, and doesn't seem interested in walking.

 he's an incredibly happy and friendly boy. he says "hiii!" to almost everyone we see and waves.

 he loves birds, and enjoys looking out the window for them.

 he still loves music and got this little piano for christmas, which thrills him to no end.

he also loves giving "fives"
he is already in 18 month clothes.
i can't believe he is almost one.

i hope you all are doing well.

much love,

maria, steve and asher.
