Here is video from Asa’s First Birthday Party. It was a lot of work, but we had a great time. I’m going to bed now.
I can’t believe that it was only a year ago that we got in a car wreck, went in and out of labor for 30 hours, found out Asa was breach, and had an emergency C-section. Now our little bundle of joy isn’t so little anymore. He was born 6 lbs 11oz and now weighs over 22 lbs, and you can ask anyone that has held him that he is pure muscle. The only thing squishy about the boy is his poop.
He can crawl. He can pull himself up. He can walk while holding on to things. He will eat ANYTHING you put in front of him. He smiles anytime you point a camera at him. He can do sit ups. He babbles all day long. He is always smiling (even when he cries…it’s weird). He is a sharp dresser. He speaks three languages. He paints and I’m pretty sure he knows how to do long division.
He is a blessing from God and Shannon and I thank Jesus every day for the gift that we have gotten in Asa. Happy Birthday Asa!
Here are some posts from the past that I would recommend checking out if you want to be nostalgic.

For those of you that didn’t catch the live feed yesterday, I thought I would post the video on here. At about 5 pm yesterday, Asa finally figured out how to work his hands into the crawling equation and started crawling. The video below is literally minutes after Asa started crawling for the first time (thanks to my jail broken iphone).
I forgot to do a post on the 5th for Asa turning 10 months old. So this is about as close as it’s going to get. I got a video of Asa eating some graham crackers last night. He’s been teething lately. The boy has four already and is cutting a few more.
He isn’t crawling yet either. He’s getting really close though. He’s army crawling everywhere. It’s a little slow…but it works.
Asa is fast on his way to crawling. I caught a little video of him army crawling the other day. Just so you know, there is a littel surprise at the end.
We went out and saw my grandparents on my dad’s side for their 61st wedding aniversary a few weeks ago. I got this pic of my dad with Asa on his bike. From the looks of things, motercycles run in our blood. Asa was having a great time on my dad’s bike.
Every now and then I have to go on business trips for UPS. I really don’t like going. Generally their pointless, but mostly it’s because I have to be away from Shannon (and now Asa). I have to eat alone, watch TV alone, and sleep alone. It’s really depressing.
But this week Shannon and Asa went with Shannon’s mom to Denver to see some family. I have determined that I don’t like going on business trips…but I hate having my wife and kid leave me at home alone. Like a business trip, I have to eat alone (and now I have to make it too), watch TV alone, and sleep alone, but I have to do this at home where everything reminds me of them.
I’ve been cleaning the house today so Shannon can come home and relax, and everything reminds me of the two of them (hince the reason I’m blogging to take my mind off of it…but I’m blogging about them so it’s not working). Making the bed, folding the laundry, cleaning the kitchen, picking up the house, all reminds me of the two of them. So I’ve determined that I’m never letting them leave me home alone again…..yeah that’s about it.
So men…if you’re at home with your wives and kids…realize your blessing and tell your wife how much you love her and spend some time playing with your kids. Sometimes you don’t realize how pitiful you are until you’re all alone again.
P.S. Don’t worry about me…Shannon and Asa come home tomorrow.
We took this one last week after Asa got done with a bath. He’s slowly getting better at being on his stomach.
Asa turned 4-months old today. So I thought I would take some pictures and share them with you. Hope you enjoy them.
