We went to a friend’s son’s birthday party last week at the local community center. The place has a sprinkler park that is pretty sweet. We didn’t know how Asa would react, but we brought his swim trunks anyways. He was a little hesitant at first, but as soon as he got wet it was hard to keep him out. He was crawling all over the place. It was awesome.
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.
