7 months

Asher, you are 7 months old now!  I feel like we missed month 6 because you were so sick for about 2 weeks.  And now all of a sudden you have made leaps and bounds in your development.  You are back to liking food again (at least liking bananas, oatmeal, sweet potatoes and carrots.  You gag on avocado and green beans).  You can scoot backwards and roll everywhere.  And you can say Mama!

My two crazies!

one fine morning

Chicago 2012

After we celebrated Christmas, we jumped on a plane the next morning to head to Chicago to spend some quality time with the Coleman's and to celebrate Claire's first birthday!

Christmas #2 brought a sled to Cousin James (which we weren't able to use because of the lack of snow in Chicago?!?!?) and Princess Merida came to our house.  

These two are great friends (most of the time)

My snow babies.

On Claire's real birthday, we went swimming at the hotel Honey and Papa were staying at.  

Jammies from Honey.  This is the best photo we have of all of them together.  

The following day we celebrated in Claire's Winter ONEderland.

Claire likes cake.

We're so happy to be seeing most of this crew in a few more weeks again!
