It both is and isn't hard to believe that it's been three whole years since he was born. But it has, and he is so big and so amazing and so worth every tantrum and every fit and every limp noodle moment. He's my sweet, smart, delightful, hysterical, adorable boy. And he's three today. Happy Birthday, Asher. You are the most incredible blessing.
You can see his first year here, and his second here.)

Twenty-six months

Happy Birthday, Asher!
(from a complete stranger, yes. I hope that's not too weird. Also, is it okay that thirty-five months is my favorite picture? That red hair on the baby!)

Yay! Happy Birthday, Asher! Three years. I can't believe it either. He's gotten to be such a big boy. I absolutely love that photo of him resting his chin on the bed. Congratulations on two beautiful children, Emily. Hope you guys have a lovely day! OH! And you're running today, aren't you. Well, you're probably all done by now. But I hope it went great - sure that it did. xo

Happy Birthday Asher!!
This post struck me, b/c I'd just "found" your blog when you were pregnant with him--I can't believe it's been three years already! (And yes, I'm a terrible lurker, I think I've only commented like twice.)

Wow! 3 already? I remember reading your blog before he was even conceived, and I definitely remember how you broke the news to Dave. Time flies.....
Happy Birthday, Asher!!

Just don't blink - you'll miss the little things and then they'll be married. I blinked. But now have 9 grandkiddos.
blessing on you! lylah

I read his 2 year old birthday last year, and I only had been reading for a month or two. It's crazy to think it's already been a year! Happy Birthday, Asher!

That's right, I think our kids were born around the same day? We just celebrated Kaya's 3rd b-day on Sunday. Goes fast, doesn't it???
