Fun stuff at mealtime

We got our highchairs this week. It has been lots of fun at mealtime!

Cache is a self-feeding maniac. He has this whole putting food-in-his-mouth thing down; or at least he thinks he does. About 90% of the green beans end up on his chest, stuck to his hand or on the floor for the pound to clean up. But, he thinks is very proficient at this task.

Asher just bangs on the tray and pulverizes all his food, but he has a smile on his face the whole time.

The pups really like the highchairs because they get tons of scraps from the boys.

Vomit, poop and white don't go together!

Today, Mom's work threw the boys a baby shower. As Mary was getting Asher into the car, he spits up. Well, being the resourceful nanny that she is, she held him upside down while he continued to spit up to keep it off his white onesie until she could get him inside the house.

As she is getting him into the house, Asher proceeds to empy his bowels and craps all over her and her white shirt. Nanny saved the day and Asher's white onesie. The entire time, Cache just grinned and smiled.

The Characters of the family

Asher Basher is an active 9 month old with a heart of gold. He has a huge smile that will melt your heart and enormous belly laugh. His ba-ba (bottle) is extremely important to him and he is a bit of a momma's boy with an ornery streak. Asher loves to play rough with Dad and pet Harley. He stops only to eat and sleep. He and mom dance to Bob Marley with gusto!

Cache-man-doooo! is a laid back 9 month old with the sliest grin on Earth. He doesn’t get too excited over much, but LOVES to rock in the chair with Dad; he is a bit of a Daddy’s boy. He can laugh so hard it will make you cry and fart noises get the best of him. He is the observer of the clan and rolls where he needs to go. He has hair that resembles Rod Stewart in the 80’s and loves to swing at the park.

Bailey is the matriarch of the family. She is a 13 year old Australian Shepherd that doesn’t like too much chaos. She frequently asserts her authority to get everyone to calm down. She has a heart of gold and undying loyalty to Mom. She likes to ride shot gun and chase rabbits in the backyard. Snuggle time with Mom is just about nirvana for her. Bailey is the Energizer Bunny; she never stops. She likes to run and play with Harley and Beggs, but only when SHE wants to.

Harley is the coolest one of the crew. She is a 4 year old Chocolate Labrador. She has grey of a geriatric dog and doesn’t get excited about much except going to the park, swimming, playing fetch and of course…..eating. She goes to bed at 9pm every night with or without Mom and Dad. She is the self-appointed protector of Asher and Cache. Harley has the attitude of a St. Lucian dog… “no pressure, no problem”. She is a great bed buddy and lets Asher and Cache pull on her ears and poke her in the face.

Beggs is the spaz of the group. She is a 1 year old Vizsla with boundless energy. She has the softest ears on the planet. She runs everywhere and loves to hunt birds. She is a Daddy’s girl and sleeps under the covers between Mom and Dad. She is excited about everything! Life is so awesome and an adventure through the eyes of Beggs. She likes to help clean up Asher and Cache after meals and is a huge helper with everything.

crawling.....

Well Asher is trying so hard to crawl. Wednesday evening he took his first two steps. What will life be like when they are mobile????? Mass chaos!

After he took his first steps he flopped on the ground exhausted. He worked so hard. Mom and Dad just sat there with our mouths wide open in pure shock. We actually got to see it! We called (or tried) to call everyone to share the joy! It is hard being away from them all day; we miss most of the "firsts". But we got to see that one!

In fact, Asher will not even try to crawl for their nanny, Mary. :)

Cache on the other hand.....he would just rather roll to his destination. Crawling would require WAY TOO much effort on his part.
