At least this year we are leaving for Houston on the 30th so it's something to look forward to right after Christmas. I have never been to Houston and look forward to celebrating New Years/ my Birthday there.<br />
<br />
Our tree has now been up 24 hours and Asher has done pretty good so far. I just have to keep saying "Asher don't touch". Last Christmas he couldn't even sit up on his own so we didn't have much to worry about.<br />

The latest though is him feeding himself with a fork and spoon...every day he is a little less a baby and a little more a boy. It's a bittersweet thing for me as a mom.<br />

Those of you who know me know how much of a challenge sleep has been for me and Asher in the first 11 months of his life. I am now proud to say my little man sleeps 13 to 14 hours a night and has a nice 1 ½ to 2 hour nap every day.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">No doubt your average set of new parents will hear a great deal about the amount of sleep they are about to lose out on. That said no amount of warning from friends or family alike can prepare you for that loss. Sleep is not something you can bank…it’s just not.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">I am no expert on the subject of sleep training and one thing doesn't work for every baby or every parent. This is simply a tale of my efforts and experiences.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">So here we go...</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">We co-slept with Asher for the first 3 months of his life - he was colicky and I needed to be able to get every little bit of sleep I could. At about 3.5 months we moved Asher into his own room. He continued to wake up every 3 hours or so and I continued to go in and nurse him every single time. I insisted that we not use the “cry-it-out” method. There were a couple times when I was at my wits end I would let Asher cry for about 5 minutes or so and he would cry so hard that he would start choking. This, of course, made me feel like a horrible mother so I continued to respond each time he needed me. My body started to get used to that routine and it wasn't so bad.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">At the end of March this year we moved into a new house and Asher transitioned very well, keeping up with his every 3-4 hours a night. It wasn’t until mid-May that I started to worry: my return to work was looming and there had been no improvements in Asher's sleep patterns. As badly as Wes wanted to help me Asher did not want Daddy, he wanted BOOB! So every night I would go in, nurse Asher and cry...poor me, what was I to do?</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">I started to get superstitious about sleep. Every time someone would ask about how Asher was sleeping I would SNAP and say "I do not want to talk about it!”. Or Wes and I would be lying in bed, about to go to sleep, and he would say "he's doing good tonight;” almost before he could finish his sentence Asher would cry and I would whip the covers off, get out of bed, glare at Wes and say "way to go." I was going crazy – something here just HAD to give.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">I had already read many different sleep solution books, trying different techniques here and there (as if there was some magical solution or something).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span lang="EN-US">One night in June I put Asher to bed at 7pm (his usual bed time) and he woke up at about 11pm (again, par for the course). I went in to nurse him, laid him back down, went into my room to go to sleep and...he started crying. *sigh* Wes and I looked at each other and decided to just wait 5 minutes and see what he did. After 5 minutes he was sleeping again. I was so surprised. At 4am Asher woke up again and I did the same thing...though this time I waited 10 or15 minutes before he went back to sleep. Was this it? I was giddy with the thought of sleeping for 8 hours straight.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><br />

I am back at work now and so grateful that Asher has transformed into an amazing sleeper.

It helped that the cabin we rented had a hot-tub. Drove up on Friday to <a href="http://www.breretonlakeresort.ca/">Brereton Lake Resort</a> in the Whiteshell; was very impressed by the cleanliness and hospitality! Had a nice BBQ dinner watching the sunset from our deck put Asher to bed and had some drinks and relaxed in the hot-tub. The rest of the weekend followed with the same sort of routine.<div><br />

They had the cutest little monster party theme. Asher doesn't have too many little buddies his age so we didn't have any games or goodie bags, but I did make the adorable monster cupcakes.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>It's hard to believe a year has gone by since this little man entered our lives. Becoming a parent is such an amazing thing and no matter how many books you read or how prepared you think you are nothing prepares you for the love you feel, the sleep you loose, the mistakes you make, the fun you have, the mom jokes you all of a sudden start to make...I could go on and on. I can't wait for what this next year has to bring.<br />
<div><br />

I am now back at work and have been for a little over a month now. The transition has gone surprisingly smooth for both Asher and I. I am so blessed to have my parents and in-laws take care of Asher while I am at work and that has taken a boat load of stress out of it.<br />
<br />
Being back at work I can equate to riding a bike; I feel like this job is a skill I never loose. Good thing, Bad thing I don't know. Since being back I have applied and interviewed for a promotion. (fingers crossed)<br />
<br />
My wedding is pretty much planned now I just have to wait until next year, this means I am constantly changing my mind about things though. I think I have picked 3 different bridesmaid dresses and still am not sure of which ones to go with (I want my girls to look goooood!) The things that are set in stone are...<br />
<br />
Date---July 14, 2012<br />
Location---<a href="http://www.thegatesonroblin.com/">The Gates</a> <br />
The Dress---no you don't get to see this<br />
The Shoes---can't see this either <br />
The Photographer---The lovely <a href="http://www.michellezerrphotos.com/">Michelle Zerr</a> <br />
<br />
Wes is still trying to convince me to have a destanation wedding. Not sold. However if I did I would like to get married <a href="https://www.acehotel.com/palmsprings">here</a> or <a href="http://www.viceroypalmsprings.com/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I would love to have <a href="http://www.theflashdance.com/">these people</a> do my wedding...don't think it's in the budget though.<br />
<br />
Asher is now almost 14 months old! (gasp) He also has a vocabulary of about 30+ words my little genius! He had an awesome 1st birthday party that I have to post about.<br />
<br />
For now I will leave you with some pictures of my summer so far!<br />

The result is nothing short of amazing!<br />
<br />
Even though she annoyed the heck out of me when we were kids I am always amazed at her talent. (I am not an emotional person and I once cried watching her at cheerleading practice)<br />
<br />
ENJOY!<br />

On our trip in California he pulled one on me though!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>April 5 Wes and I decided to take Asher to the beach one more time before we went home. Wes was determined to go to this secluded "beach of a thousand steps" we were driving and driving down PCH and finally he found it. So down we go to this beautiful spot literally a thousand steps to get down to the beach (totally worth it though) We set up our blankets and umbrella and go to take some pictures with Asher by the water. Wes hands me Asher and kneels down to take some photos and says "hey, what's in Ashers pocket?" It takes me a couple minutes to get the beautiful Birks Bell out of his pocket, I open the box and inside is the most beautiful ring. Wes already on his knee, asks "will you marry us?" I said "of course" about 10 times (Wes had to ask me if this meant yes, to that I said of course)</div><div><br />
</div><div>Back at our blankets we had some champagne and I started calling my family and friends!</div><div><br />

Our offer got accepted and we move March 25! I can't believe it.<div><br />
