Snapshot: 1 year+

Now that we are a few weeks beyond Asa's birthday, our update is he:

• has 5 teeth with #6 & #7 waking us up at night.  I hope they break through soon!
• waves good-bye
• is really trying to talk... a LOT!  He has now said, "Hi!" "G!" (for G-Ma), "all done," "Sam" and "Sammy" for Sammy and other furry creatures :), "night" for night-night, and "wa" for his water bottle.  The first three were unprompted, the last two were repeating after someone else.
• Points at EVERYTHING wanting you to tell him what it is
• loves dogs, especially if you make a stuffed animal dog pant and pretend to lick him.  He CRACKS up!
• LOVES his cousins
• has started bobbing his head sometimes when he is dancing to music
• has tried (plain) spaghetti noodles
• is about to switch to a big boy carseat (though we plan to keep him rear-facing for awhile still)
• usually goes to bed or down for a nap with ease:  nurse, sing a hymn or 2 while he snuggles up against you, put him in his crib, and he rolls over, closes his eyes, and goes to sleep.  Unless he's teething.  But he's still an easy/relatively easy baby to get to sleep.  SO thankful for that since he doesn't *stay* asleep all night ;)
• has met 2 of his 3 great-grandmothers
• has now made the drive from OH to TN
• learns new things ALL.THE.TIME :)
