Around the World

 I decided it would be fun to have some "around the world" nights where we had the girls pick a country and then decide what we would eat, wear, and how to decorate. Liv chose China.They had a blast and loved getting china make up.We laughed for a long time about Emma in the China make up. It just looked sooo funny. Claire chose Italy. she made a lasagna and we ate by candle light! We have done a few other countries... but they were more last minute, less extravagant endeavors and I forgot to take pictures! We also did Russia and ate some roll like things with meat in the middle. And we did Mexico with some virgin pina coladas and nachos!

Growing Growing

 This is what happens when I let Claire watch Ash for a minute. He gets a bracelet and a smart phone to play on!

 still a binky lover

 He is also in love with his bouncy chair. He bounces all day. It is his favorite! He is getting really good with it. He can swing any way he desires and turns it to face which ever way the people are. It is so funny that he can maneuver it around so well!

Asher stats for 6 months:

weight: 16lbs 5 oz (14%)

Height: 27.8 inches (72 %)

Head: 44.1 cm (51%)

He has grown like crazy these past 2 months! The reason: he switched over to formula from breast feeding! We tried supplementing with formula, but he wouldn't have it! He only wanted that bottle! What a little turkey! So I stopped fighting him and just let him be a bottle baby. It has really helped him. He is happy, content, and sleeping through the night! And gaining weight and height. It was a good switch for him.
