I've taken a bunch of videos of Asher over the past few weeks. He's just so darn cute I can't help it! So enjoy watching my quirky little boy.
He's started to babble a lot more and it's so cute! It even sounds like he's saying Mama some of the time. I know he doesn't know what it means, but I still like it!
This laugh never fails to make me smile!
He actually really likes being hit by pillows, as you can see!
He loves his jumper and I love it when he sucks on his thumb!
And lastly, this is the reason he doesn't crawl...because he figured out another way to get around! He was going around in circles like this for about a half hour straight. It looks ridiculous, but it's effective! And he has the strongest abs you will ever see!

Recognition
I've been feeling a little off lately. It seems like everyone in my life is accomplishing such great things! My sister got her Doctorate, my other sister is working on her Masters, David graduated and will finish everything up this fall, and it seems like everyone else is either getting really nice new jobs or moving into new houses or other things like that. So I've felt very...stuck...lately. Like I feel like I'm not accomplishing anything. I never used to feel like that, and today I figured out why.
Up until I graduated college, I've always had some kind of feedback on my life. Usually it was grades. After every semester I would get a grade on how well I did. I could see immediate results of the work I was putting in. And if I got enough good grades, I got to graduate! But life's not like that anymore. I get up with Asher, go to work, come home and take care of Asher, put him to bed, and then I go to bed. And that's it. I don't have anyone telling me if I'm doing a good job or if I need to work on things more. I know it's all part of being an adult, but it's so hard to motivate yourself! All growing up, you have parents and coaches and teachers being your cheerleaders and telling you what an awesome job you're doing, but not so much now. I suppose I'll have to work on motivating myself. I guess I'm just impatient. And I should set more goals to work towards. Maybe that will help. Any other suggestions? I'm fresh out! But I'll keep working on it. That's my little rant for the evening. I just needed to get it out. Maybe putting those goals (once I come up with some) on here will help keep me accountable. Maybe I'll try that next...
