This week we have really started settling into our new life with Asher. After only two weeks it is already hard to imagine life without him. We are so in love with him, and I get so excited over every new expression or sound that he makes.
Last Thursday we went back to our pediatrician for his one week check-up, and the doctor was amazed that he had gained 12 ounces in one week! I know I mentioned before how much he likes to eat! :)
His big appetite might also account for my night-time delirium as I am waking up a lot for feedings. The other night my sister was watching him so I could get a little sleep before his next feeding. She came into my room when he was ready to eat and called my name. She told me that I rolled over and stared at her blankly. I then sat up and started madly digging through the covers saying, "I can't find his head"! My sister was of course still holding him! Oh my - I'm really learning what it is like to be a first time Mom!
Also, we are all now completely oblivious to pee and poop. Asher has christened all of us with his pee-pee. His nursery wall has also been drenched, and he frequently even manages to get it on his own face. I know this sounds disgusting, but we have yet to master containing it during diaper changes. I'm sure we will soon be experts - I hope!
Well, thanks to Chelsea we have a lot more pictures of this little boy - enjoy!
Asher all bundled up - it is getting really cold here already!
Just chillin'
As you can tell, all of Asher's clothes are still pretty big on him! However, he does not let it cramp his hip sense of fashion.
I just love those little toes!
Asher had a lot of visitors this week and made a lot of new friends. This is Asher telling Madelina how much he loves the mural she painted for him.
Jamie stopped by for a visit - he was obviously very comfortable with her!
The Lopez family also made their acquaintance with Asher this week.
