Pumpkin Patch
All the pumpkins at the pumpkin patch across the road... the pumpkin patch that everyone gets to pick from was a lot less full then this one!
Daddy and Asher in the Pumpkin Patch:
Which pumpkin should I choose Daddy?
I like this one Dad!
This is the pumpkin we ended up getting.... we went for a little one and ended up with a big one... but it was calling out to us!
Can't wait for next years trip to the Pumpkin patch... Asher will be running around all excited to pick the best pumpkin!

A poopy night...
Last night was a poopy night... and I don't mean it wasn't a good night, I mean that it was a poopy, shitty, messy night!
Asher usually has a BIG poop around noonish each day, but yesterday he didn't... I changed his diaper at 5pm expecting something, but to my surprise there was nothing at all! Shortly after that he started fussing, so I put him into what we call "Poo Position" which is where you place him forward on your chest, squish his legs up, and then you "bounce". This usually works out any gas he might have and also puts him in a good position for pooping!
I got a few farts out but nothing major! After daddy got home we made some dinner and played with the little guy for a while... then at about 7:15ish he started to fuss some more, so Gord put him into "Poo Position" he was farting up a storm and Gord figured he had probably "gone" so he decided to take him upstairs and change him.
Not 2 minutes later Gord called me upstairs.... assuming it was a fairly large poop I headed up ready to laugh at him since it was his turn to change it! I got into the room and Gord told me to have a look....I knew it had to be bad since he hadn't even removed the diaper yet and just told me to lift up his onsie...
I pulled back the onsie and saw the biggest Asher mess yet... about a half cup of mustardy poop sitting between his back and his onsie.... NICE!
We decided that the only way to get the onsie off was to cut it off... otherwise he would be covered, since the onsie would need to go over his head to be removed! It was quite the event...
After that he had his bath and was put into his jammies!
All was fine for a little while... we put him to bed around 9pm and went back down stairs for a bit....
Shortly after he woke up, Gord went to get him and noted that he was a bit gassy... so again put him into Poo Position.... I decided to go make some tea.
We were all in the kitchen chatting when Gord decided to check Asher`s back (checkìng for poop coming out the top of the diaper) since he had been farting quite a bit.... he looked down and there was poo dripping from his (Gord`s) shirt.... I couldn't believe it!
Since Asher was in two piece Jammies and we didn't put a onsie on him this time, the poo must have squirted up and out the diaper, right onto Gords shirt! It was quite a sight... poor Daddy, I`m pretty sure this is the 3rd time he has been pooped on :O)
I`m hoping tonight isn`t quite as poopy and Asher goes back to his usual Noon poop!!

Teething
Well this week started out with Mommy getting a cold.... O Joy!
This meant that Asher and Mommy couldn't take Grandpa M to his Chemo appointment on Monday just in case either Grandpa or one of the other Cancer patients caught Mommy's cold too!
This also meant that Mommy's Birthday which was on Wednesday was going to be a non event since no one wanted Mommy's germs!!! So we decided to move Mommy's bday to Friday!
On Friday Grandma and Grandpa M, Aunty B and Aunty Gerry came over and we all had Thai for dinner. Then Great Grandpa and Grandma Ross came over for cake later on!
Asher gave mommy a beautiful necklace which had Diamonds and Ruby's (Asher's birthstone) for her birthday!
Asher is already quite good and picking out Jewellery!
But since mommy had been sick, of course we were all worried that Asher might get sick also... he started with these cute little coughs and he also had a runny nose that came and went on Thursday and Friday. However he didn't have a fever and since both the cough and runny nose seemed to come and go we weren't sure if he in fact had a cold or if he was teething!
On Saturday night when I got home from Grandma and Grandpa M's house, I changed his diaper and found Green Poop! So of course I had to google it to make sure all was OK! Turns out Green poop can be a sign of teething. I then googled other signs of teething which include:
Irritability - Check
Drooling - Check
Coughing - Check
Biting/Gnawing - Check (he has been gnawing on his fist)
Diarrhea - Check (green poop)
Not Sleeping Well - Check
Low grade fever - nope
And Cold like symptoms (runny nose etc.) - Check
Had I not been sick earlier in the week, we probably would have caught on that all his symptoms were teething related, rather then thinking he too was getting my cold, but at least we figured it out and can deal with it accordingly!!
