Beans & Noodles!!!

After Asher is fast asleep we can get out the "Beans & Noodles! : ) Aiden carefully explaining to Dad how we play "Beans & Noodles"....I am not sure if Andy understands just yet! It is fun to watch Aiden play as he has the best imagination! He can have as much fun with a box of rocks as a brand new toy....maybe more!

Today Aiden was a busy guy. He spent all morning baking. He is such a little chef and enjoys to cook as much as possible. He made a couple of birthday cakes (shhh). This seriously took from 10am to 1pm! Then off to nap. He decided it was a good idea to take his nap in a laundry basket...so we covered him up with blankets and put in a pillow and Mickey and he took a good long nap! : ) He tried to ask to sleep there for bedtime too but Dad didn't think it was as good of an idea as we did! Probably for the best.

Nothing new to report on Asher today really, he had his first shoulder ride around the house on my shoulders. He held my hair like a horse and laughed as we ran around and around to some dorky Kindermusic songs. He has a stuffy nose and a slight cold I think, no fun. But not fussy, such a happy little guy!

Off to relax and enjoy our time together as a couple.

SOOOOO BIG!

Today was hopefully the last snowy day of the year so we decided to take advantage of it and had a pajama day! Love those day!
Asher is starting to love to play with his hands and do anything that involves his arms or hands. It is so funny! From waving hello & goodbye to SO BIG, throwing a ball, clapping, signing 'more' and dancing up a storm! Even as I put him to bed at night he waves him arms and hands till the last minute! It is so fun to watch him grow and change, although I wish it would slow down. (Note: turn the volume down so you don't have to hear my annoying "Mom" voice).





Aiden had fun today problem solving with beans, noodles, utensils and lots of containers! Perfect pajama day activity! I will have to take a picture next time so you can see what I am talking about.

Asher's 9 months old!

Well this is my attempt to continue my blog...hopefully with a little more time invested into it! Today we went to Asher's 9 month well-baby visit in Albert Lea. My Mom went with to help with Aiden. Asher is my little peanut weighing in at 19lbs (34th %) and 28 3/4 inches (66th %). Yet a big Stensrud head, of course...in the 90th %! : ) He got the HIB shot and the Dr. was impressed with all he was doing. He even demonstrated "SO BIG" for her! It is so cute. I just love my little guy he is so precious. Then we went to K&K Bakery for a special breakfast with Grandma. Then to the library to play and read for a bit. Now we are back home. Asher has been a little fussy this afternoon so we have been "touring our house."
