It's my dad's birthday!

Happy Birthday daddio! Since you are always asking for videos here is a special one for you of Asa laughing. Unfortunately to make him laugh (he always laughs at the weirdest things) I had to make a really awkward noise. The things we (I) do to make him laugh. It's a little embarrassing. whatever. I've warned you before that I am extremely uncool in these videos.

I am totally cringing on the inside right now. Moving on - in the last few weeks he's become an excellent roller (from tummy to back) and apprentice eater. We started on rice cereal but have since moved to sweet potatoes. It's really fun watching Asa learn new things every day. I can't believe how fast babies pick up things!

The video below is Asa's second time eating rice cereal. It's amazing that he just opens his mouth and doesn't try grabbing everything out of our hands (which is what he's really into these days).

New things Asa is doing:

• Eating sweet potatoes 1-2 times a day
• Having the stinkiest poopy diapers of his life
• Turning himself upside down in his crib
• Taking off his socks
• Trying to launch himself out of our laps
• Grabbing at anything within a 2 foot radius
• Starting to use his arms to hold up his weight
• Sitting for a little bit then falling forward
• Sitting in the basket of shopping carts when there is a strap
• Not liking sitting in shopping carts
• Sucking on his middle finger (?)
• Staying awake in the jogger the whole time when I go running
• Going down easily for naps every 2-3 hrs
• Only napping for 45 min to an hour
• Switching objects from one hand to the other
• Laughing at ridiculous things
• Loving any attention he gets from strangers
• Loving swimming

I'm so thankful we have such a happy baby! And so cute too :)
