Baby laughs

Our new camera has some limited video abilities. I managed to capture Asher laughing a few days ago! So adorable!

Spring!

The trees and flowers are really in bloom this week! Up until now we've always lived in a high rise apartment, it is so nice to have a little backyard and actually have some plants and flowers around us. Here is our townhouse with the tree in front covered in gorgeous pink blossoms.


A couple of other shots of the plants in front of the house.

And here is the tree in the backyard, a dogwood tree. Very different looking.

We got Asher a little bumbo like seat so that he can sit up unassisted and practice using those kneck muscles. The seat also came with this circular tray with some little toys on it, although at this point he still hasn't shown a lot of interest in toys. But he's started to grab at them a little bit.



We recently got a new camera and realized that we have almost no pictures of us with the baby, so we are trying to make an effort to take a few.



And I just had to add these two because I think he looks adorable!

3 months old!

It's hard to believe our little baby is already 3 months old! He had his 3 month check up a couple of days ago. Here are his most recent measurements:
Weight 13 lbs 15 oz (90th percentile) Height 23.25 in (50% percentile) and Head 90th percentile.
So, it appears we have a big eater, which I could have already told you because I'm the one feeding him every 1 1/2- 2 hrs in the day time. :) Thankfully he still sleeps quite well, and only wakes up to eat a little and then drifts back to sleep pretty quickly.
So, what is a day like in the life of Asher? Well first he wakes up all swaddled in his bassinet by the bed. He is usually quite happy first thing in the morning after a good rest.

After that we do a lot of feeding, catnapping, and playing. And then Asher will usually get a good walk in his baby bjorn if the weather is nice, or we do the wii stepper together. He likes that, usually makes him smile or puts him to sleep. Or sometimes a bath in the whale tub.
And then it's time for a long afternoon nap (preferably in his swing, but on a bad day all on my lap after repeatedly trying to put him down). But he sure is cute and sweet and look at those pretty blue eyes! Then David comes home and we get a few hours of family time before it's off to bed.

Auntie Nikki Comes for a Visit.

My sister was able to come out for a week and she was very happy to finally meet the baby! We had a great time playing together. We took advantage of her video camera while she was here, as ours is still on the fritz. And of course I tried to upload one of them and it wouldn't work!
Asher has an incredible ability to sense when a camera is photographing him. He will instantly stop smiling and look at the camera. We managed to capture a couple of smiles, but mostly we have a series of photos with a very serious looking baby.

Here is Asher with his Auntie, wearing a cute bib she made for him.
