Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Milo is officially on the move....He is not crawling, but he is our rolling machine!

Milo and His Grandpas

Grammy and Grandpa Thompson made it to Denver over this last week. We were so happy to see them. Milo is changing every day. He loves to sit up and play with his toys. His new favorite activity is taking his toys out of boxes. It is the duty of his guest to restock the box and it is his job to empty it. He has been eating some finger foods. He LOVES chopped up veggies. He will grab them by the handful, granted he only gets one or two in his mouth. Well after meal time we will be playing and I will notice he still has a pea, a carrot and maybe even a piece of corn in his mouth. He is my little squirrel. My absolutely favorite thing that Milo has been doing is the raspberry. He puckers up his list and blows making the cutest BBBBBBBB noise ever. It is all day long. He must like the way it feels on his lips.

Lunch time. Sometimes topless is easier than a bib.

Milo at the pool. Just when you didn't think it could get any dorkier than the hat, mom pulls out the one piece swimming suit. Gosh he is cute.

Starting to pull himself up onto things. Can you believe that rear end?

What a great Memorial Day Weekend!!!!!

I think it is easy to get caught up in the joy of a long weekend full of sunshine and forget to recognize the reason we celebrate Memorial Day. I want to start by thanking all of those in the military and the families who support them. Thank you for all you do and the sacrifices you make!

We enjoyed the weekend with an action packed schedule. On Friday Milo and I spent the day with Candace and Sloane. We even got the babies on the same napping schedule so Candace and I could have some time to chat. It has not only been a huge support, but so much fun to have babies together! On Saturday Scott and I went out with our friends Mike and Shannon while Milo had a date with Nana and Papa. We had dinner reservations in downtown Denver at 8:00 and had drinks before hand. That is right, this Mama and Papa weren't eating with the early birds a 5:00 and we actually got to enjoy our food instead of shoveling it in. Thank you, Janet and John! On Sunday we went to a barbecue at the Ward's house. Tons of kiddos and tons of fun. Finally on Monday we all did the Bolder Boulder. Scott and I ran it and then met Nana, the Smith crew and Milo to walk it. Between running it, walking it and all the hustle to and from the car Scott and I ended up traveling over 15 miles. Luckily, Milo took an awesome afternoon nap and so did Mom and Dad. It was a quiet Monday afternoon at the Aschermann house. Not only was Milo an excellent baby all weekend he was a very good sleeper. We got three nights in a row of sleeping through the night. He is able to get his pacifier in all by himself which saves us from helping him in the middle of the night. Last night he insisted on nursing at 2 am. I think the best thing about nursing is the middle of the night feedings. They are rare, but when they do happen we can both snooze during the feeding. After our date at 2 Milo slept until 8 this morning. Go figure, the one morning I have plans he sleeps in. I guess I can't bank on him being my alarm clock any more. Ooooh....Babies.....Gotta love them!

Milo with his pal, Sloane. Aren't they getting so big? I could just eat them up!

We also made it to Stanley Lake this weekend. Milo loved watching Bosco chase the stick in the water. I have promised to take him back to a real beach (ocean included) soon. I don't think he remembers his recent Hawaii trip. And yes, he will have to wear his dorky hat!

Milo all geared up for the Bolder Boulder! He loved all the people watching!

Milo's new squishy face. Believe it or not he is actually happy in this picture. It is his new face. He has been sporting it a lot lately. It always gets a giggle out of me.

Speaking of dorky hats...this is Scott at 7 months. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. This bodes well for Milo, seeing as Scott is by no means chubby anymore. I love those boys!!!

One of my favorite pictures!
