Asher and I went to the park this morning. It was nice and warm (probably low-mid 80s) and sunny! We saw people and plants and some baby ducks, too! You can see in this first picture that Asher is crossing his ankles. He just started doing that this past weekend and now he does it all the time!
I think Asher's excited to be outdoors!
Asher's first ride in the swing. He had a good time. :-)
Incidentally, near the end of our time at the park we had a minor incident. Everyone's fine, but I put Asher on top of one of the picnic tables to change his diaper and when I was done, I put the dirty one back in the diaper bag. I took my eyes off of him for no more than a few seconds and he chose to roll over. I was sitting right beside him, but he rolled right off the table and I caught him by his leg as he was falling. I don't think he even hit any of his body parts on the bench, but he was sure scared! (as was I!) I've been thanking God ever since for teaching me a lesson without letting little Asher get hurt in the process. I'm very thankful that Asher chose to roll TOWARDS me instead of away, and that I looked back at him at the moment I did, and that I was able to catch him before he hit the ground (cement!). I'm sure all parents can relate to something scary like that happening, and I've heard that babies can move quickly, but now I know from experience just HOW quickly! YIKES!

I don't know if I ever told you, Holly, that Aaron rolled off of the bed onto the floor when I turned away for a few seconds! (Several months ago) I felt so bad! They can surprise you with their quickness sometimes. I agree with you - almost everyone has a story =)
I'm so thankful that God made babies with hard heads. Our little one has jumped off couches, chairs, benches, etc and bonked her head so many times I've lost count (notice I said "jumped," not "fallen"). It's totally by the grace of God she's still alive :) She's a wild one.
