Stats: Asher is basically the size of a 3 year old, at 2 lol!!! He and Chase weigh exactly the same 29.25lbs (65th percentile) but he is slightly shorter than Chase, measuring35.5 inches tall (75th percentile). He still wears a few 2t things but is mostly in 3t.
Sleep: I can't complain here as he goes down for a solid 12 hours at night. If he hasn't taken a nap that day (which he is slowly outgrowing) he will sleep close to 14 hours at night. He will sometimes take a little longer to fall asleep than Chase and can be heard on the monitor singing Happy Birthday or yelling at Chase to wake up lol.
Social: Chase's friends have become Asher's friends too and he loves getting together with them. He and Isabelle made quite the pair while we were on vacation with them. He is certainly more out going than Chase was at this age and has no problem going up to the older kids and joining in on whatever they are doing. Asher also happily goes into Sunday school at church now.
Diet: This is easily the most difficult area with Asher. If he is teething in any small way or isn't feeling 100% then he doesn't want to see food, let alone eat it. On days he does feel like eating, he doesn't stop. He is a little pickier than Chase but still eats more variety than most kids his age. His favorite foods are, yogurt, avocado on toast, carrots, broccoli, spaghetti, Chinese food, any kind of fruit and chocolate milk. He loves to go to Chick Fil A and Red Robin.
Skills/Milestones: It's crazy how much they learn between 18 months and 2 years. He was speaking in full sentences before he turned 2, which makes our life so much easier and the conversations he and Chase have are simply the best! He can run and jump with the best of them. Over the summer he learned to swim on his own (with a floaty of course), he just has new fear and always wants to be keeping up with whatever Chase is doing. He loves to color, can count to 14 and is starting to learn his letters.
Favorites: Mummy, Daddy, Chase, grandparents trains, throwing and kicking a ball, dance parties, legos, animals, Lightening McQueen, Paw Patrol, accessories of any kind (sunglasses, hats, scarves)
I cannot imagine our lives without our spunky, loveable and light up a room, Asher. He can be a handful sometimes and certainly knows how to test our patience but is also the biggest lovebug around and is a sweetheart. He loves music and sports and to be moving all of the time. He is curious about everything around him and we are seeing each day that he is equally as smart as Chase. Speaking of Chase, he adores his big brother and wants to be just like him. I have no doubt he is going to be excellent with Hayley and loving on her all of the time. I could never express how much fun and love he has brought into this family and is truly one of a kind!
