It's hard to believe that Asher is 1/2 a year old. He is a big boy. He even thinks he's big enough to play with the big kids.

We went to a mall and thought we'd see if he'd crawl around in the kid's play area. He loved it. He was crawling everywhere and had no fear. I'm just glad that the older kids didn't run over him.

He climbed up on the toys wanting to show the older kids that he could play too.

Asher is great at crawling. Once he figured out how to get his hands and legs working at the same time there was no stopping him and he just keeps getting faster and faster.

He not only crawls all over our apartment but he likes to crawl up and down our hallways. And they are pretty long so we're quite impressed with Asher.

He is also great at bear-crawling, where he uses his feet instead of his knees.

He has also figured out how to sit all on his own and also to pull or climb up on things.

He only gets up to his knees when he is upright, but if he is leaning forward he can get all the way to his feet (like the ladybug at the mall above).

Of course this means that our apartment is going through the process of becoming baby proof and Ryan and I are learning to shut doors. But it still doesn't stop Asher from getting into mischief. Here he is spying on dad in the shower:)

One of his favorite places to climb up on is our mirror. He just loves his friend in the mirror, they do a lot of kissing;)

Asher also has become much more active during his baths. He enjoys them so much more now that he can splash around and turn around and play in the water.
