Two!

When asked how old he is, Asher has always responded with a triumphant, "Two!" Friday, for the first time, he wasn't wrong. That's right - Ash man has made it to another birthday. Please allow me to take a quick mommy moment and revisit his previous two.

Here is our baby the day he was born. Those first few hours in the world are so incredibly special.

And then our darling turned one. Here he is on his first birthday...

 Oh, that face...

And here he is at two! Okay, technically these were taken last month, but it gives you an idea of how much he's grown in a year.

 Andrew and I thought we'd throw Asher a little party for his second birthday, so last weekend we had a few of his fellow two-year-olds over, along with some of his favorite adults. A special highlight of the day was Asher's grandparents driving up from western Kentucky to be here for Asher. He absolutely ADORES Joey and Kim, and it melts us to see them together.

 So anyway,  here are some pics from the day. It was a simple affair (we only spent $20), but still a lot of fun. We made things Mickey-themed due to our son's crippling Mickey Mouse Clubhouse addiction. He's spiraling out of control...but that's another story.

 

 This face says it all.

 In toddler world, icing solves all problems.

So the next morning after church, our beloved Nina and Poppy had to leave us. I may have cried. But before they left, we tried to get one good picture of them with Asher. 

We got this...

 And this...

And finally, this:

 Totally blurry, but three smiles! We miss them already.

Asher, you are so, so loved! Congrats on the big 0-2!

P.S. Now, please. Please don't grow up too fast...

Love, Mom and Dad
