Asher took at trip to San Diego with his mom to see Grandma Silvia and the rest of the San Diego family at the end of January. I’ve grown to expect Asher to make breakthroughs when with Grandma Silvia. He said his first word, dada, first crawled, took his first steps, all under her watchful eye. I predicted he’d do some talking during Christmas vacation, but instead we spent the week being a sickly bunch. This trip made up for the last. You’ll see why in a minute.
Asher loves to press buttons and flip switches. We have a number of toys that he’s able to get immediate feedback from by pressing a button and hearing a sound or song or see a light come on or flash.
In the video below he has corralled his mom and grandma to help him get to the doorbell at Grandma’s place. He’s on his step stool so he can reach and press it. I notice, also, that he’s using his thumb. At Christmas he would struggle to press that button down with his index finger and his middle finger. I showed him that his thumb is stronger, I even explained it to him. I see here, he understood.
Listen to what Asher says when he presses the doorbell.
Soooo cute!!! I loved hearing his words!
he’s growing up! how cool it is to be able to capture these moments and share them with us… thank you!
