Dance Dance Baby ...

A glimpse into what Asher Toy has been up to ... in the absence of updates ... Prefecting his dance steps ... for your entertainment :)

Sun, Sand and Sea

On this day, both parents took leave to bring our dear little boy for his 1st encounter with the sun, sand and sea.

Some resistance at first ...

But he soon got to enjoy the feeling of sand in between his toes ...

Not to mention his 1st shot at climbing a tree ...

1st al Fresco dining experience ...

Will we come back again ... YEAH !! ... both hands raised in instant approval !!

Bubble Bubbles Everywhere

What is so fascinating about a simple mixture of soap and water?
You tell me :)

My Playground

Rollin' Good Times

Asher Toy
- Used to be grouchy baby extraordinaire ... but not anymore !!

Especially when he gets to roll roll roll ... around on Mummy and Daddy's BIG Comfy bed !!!

That smile ... PRICELESS !

Daddy ... I Love You

There is just something about daddies and their babies ...

Playing ...

Nurturing ...
Bonding ... Daddy ... I Love You.

I Can Stand ... Can you?!?

It's been a while ... hope you guys did not miss Asher too much.
This little baby is really growing up to be a little man !!!
Of the newest feats he can perform ... he can now stand!!



Crawl crawl - struggle reach - wiggle reach reach - STAND !!



Look at me!! I CAN STAND !!!


And his favourite obstacle to climb on and over ... DADDY !!
(look closely ... what looked like a sofa / bench / wall in the shots above ... is actually daddy's hairy legs !!! Now you are seeing things in perspective *wink*)

See You Later Alligator

Who took these photos of Asher Toy?

Daddy took these photos of Asher Toy.

Who me? Yes Daddy!!

Couldn't be ... then Who?

The Photo Nazi

Hi you really cannot fault me for it.

Let's face it ... if you have ever tried taking photos with a baby, you will know that it is not easy at all, to get a nice shot.

So in order to get a good one, you take many many many and many many many more ... you get the idea :)


... with Asher on a rocking horse ...

... with Asher at Auntie Jessie's wedding ... checking out the nice flower ... are they real ?!? ...

... with little huggies Asher ...

... with flower in the hair Asher ...

... with cheeky smile Asher ... who can resist that ... makes getting a trigger finger worth it !!

So Young ... So Busy !!

The month of December was indeed chock-a-block full of events and celebrations for baby Asher.

First it was Auntie Jessie's wedding. A week later, Uncle Paul's wedding ... followed immediately by a week in Malacca for Asher's 1st DCD church camp, with Asher's very 1st Christmas following closely after!! Daddy and Mummy were on leave for the holiday season ... which means fun filled days all Christmas, right through to the New Year.

Before there is time for a breather ... it is time for Asher's very 1st all-nighter - his very 1st Watch Night service. And a week after, it will be Auntie Alyna's wedding !! ... WOW !! Talk about BUSY and so many firsts ... beat that!!

But hey ... never too busy to stop for a couple of photos ... here are some from Uncle Paul's wedding ... enjoy :)

Group photo with Uncle David, Auntie Linda, Grandpa and Grandma

The air is fresher up high ... sitting on Uncle Andrew's shoulders for a bird's eye view of the dinner setting

Who's that pretty girl ... *phew* it is only Auntie Joyce

Too good an opportunity to miss ... a photo with daddy and mummy ... dressed for the occassion :) ... like the flower in the hair *wink*

Mission Asher Mop

Now that Asher is able to crawl quite well and quite fast, we as parents, have great fun at his expense :) I guess the video says it all ...



Nurture or torture ... you decide.

PS:
Need someone to mop your floor? This baby can do a pretty good job ... for FREE! Complete with attached cleaning cloth. Also comes with self excreting antiseptic floor cleaning liquid (haha ... bet you did not know that a baby's saliva has antiseptic qualities ... just like yours!) and tons of entertainment and good laughs. Please call 1800-ASHER MOP if interested. While baby's attention lasts.

Stuff it !!

Asher is definetly growing up faster than i can update his blog.

Right now, he is just stuffing anything and everything he can get his hands on ... into his mouth.

His entire fist,


his Pooh bear toy phone,



his cloth book,

he is really stuffing it in ...

... but i think his favourite, are his daddy's fingers ... reckon they must feel like eating little cocktail sausages *hee*hee* :)

And if you are wondering what's with the stuffing of things into the mouth .... let's just say that he is teething. And guess what we found just the other day, indeed .... TEETH !!! 2 little tiny pearly whites ... peeking out of the bottom gums .... so exciting !!!

My 1st Levis

Oohhh ...

SOooooo ...
Handsome ...

Need i say more ...

ME, MYSELF and MY PRAM

They start young these days ... going to the showroom and picking out their favourite four wheeler.

It took us three outings and two fittings to pick out this gorgeous pram - once without the baby ... and then we realised that we neede to size him in the pram ... then the next round with the baby ... but the pram was out of stock and finally ... the day of the purchase !!

Asher took to his pram like bees to honey :) ... cushion comfort all the way ... with a protable fan (with lights) included!!

Just to give you an idea of how comfortable he is ... he has agreed to pose for a photoshoot ... aka mother frantically snapping away, during an evening stroll in the park *wink*
