Poor Ashe look at those bright red cheeks. He was home today with daddy not feeling very well. I hate when Ashe is sick because there is nothing you can do to make him feel better. You can put him down and he will cry.
Yeah!!! My little man hit a milestone today. He turned over from his back to his tummy. The picture on the bottom was only minutes after Ashe turned over for this first time.
Ashe loves to look at himself in the mirror. He thinks it's great to have friend his size, even though it's only him. He is showing his mirror friend how yummy his hand can taste.
As you can see the cold didn't last. It is just a few days after my last posting and we are back in our shorts. Crazy Florida Weather!!!
Today was one of our few cold days in Florida as you can see he is all bundled up as if we were going to get snow. I am always worried that he will be cold. The beautiful brown blanket with the strip of green and blue was made special for Ashe by his Nana. 
Most of the smile pictures I try to capture is like the first picture. The flash always scares him and he wonders why these bright lights are coming towards him. Today I shut off the flash in an attempt to capture his super cute smile.
This is one of Ashe's Christmas presents from Santa. He has a lot of fun in it. His feet touch the ground but the seat is still a little big for him so I put a blanket around him in his seat. Sometimes this is the only place I can put him where he doesn't cry to be carried by mommy. 
It's never too early to begin enjoying good books. Ashe is so cute reading in his pj's before bed. Ashe loves to be in mom and dad's bed, listening to his books.
It is now 2007 and it is my resolution to get more rest and to take life easy. Ashe is already taking care of that for the both of us.
Ashe is not quite in his jammies yet but it was Nick who read him his first Christmas Eve book, "Daddy Snores."
Nick got new soccer jammies, the book "Mrs. Clause takes a Vacation", and a Darth Vader ornament for our tree.
Ashe got "Santa Helper " jammies, a bear Baby's First Christmas ornament, and the book "Daddy Snores."
We were asked by Father John to be the Holy Family at the 9pm Christmas Eve mass. Ashe was representing the baby Jesus. It was such an honor for our family. We had a great time. When we got there lots of families were coming up to us remembering many many years ago when their child playing baby Jesus. I am sure when Ashe is grown I will be doing the same thing. We sat up on the alter throughout most of mass. This was so nerve racking. I hate when everyone is looking at me and here we were having everyone look at us. It was so hot in these clothes and I was nervous. To our advantage Ashe feel asleep just moments before going down the aisle. 
I know what you are thinking this is not a really good smile. I am having a terrible time capturing it on my camera. Every time I try and use my lightening speed to take his picture the red light goes off for the flash and he stops smiling. I just wanted to post a milestone. Ashe has been smiling so much lately. He also coos a lot and for quite a long time, he likes to talk a lot like his mommy. 
When we took Nick for his 8 year old check up, he didn't do so well on his vision test. I then took him to a special children's eye doctor to have his vision rechecked. 
Today was Ashe's first day of Day Care. Here he is in his school clothes all ready to start his first day with his new friends. When I got there to pick him up he was so content and happy. I really wish I could stay home and be with him all day. I am very glad however that God brought Ashe's teacher Ms. Danielle into our lives. He seems very happy to be there each day with her.
Happy Thanksgiving!
