5 Months!!

I'm really not sure how it's possible that 5 months have gone by! He's becoming such a big guy now! He's so happy most all of the time (minus last week while he had a cold)! So here's some info on our Asher:

• He just discovered Emma and giggles when she does her tricks or runs around
• He rolls from back to belly like a pro (I think he'll be a rolly polly by this time next week)
• He really wants to be walking and loves to stand on our laps constantly
• He loves being read to (I  have On The Night You Were Born memorized!)
• He usually sleeps 6 hours then 3 hours, then cuddles in bed with mom and dad until we finally get up

Now to the pictures! When we sat him in the chair to take them, he just grinned and grinned!

We haven't started any solids yet. He really doesn't seem interested and is totally content with mommy's milk. I plan on waiting until 9 months as long as he's stays satisfied! We're really looking forward to his first Christmas, and have been busy planning!!

Updating....

I've been horrible at updating here!! I really thought when I had a baby I'd post all the time because I'd have so much to say and share! However, instead, I have so much going on that this has really fallen behind! So here are a few updates on our family:
1. We moved again....we went ahead and bought a house this time. If you remember, we moved 2 days before Asher was born. It was great renting that big house, but the landlords weren't honest about the situation, which meant we had to get out asap. Rental property is really hard to come by so we just bought our own place! It's a newer house, but still had all construction white walls so I've been busy decorating and planning (Pics to come).
2. We took a trip home to Missouri! Asher and I spent two weeks there, which was great! My sister got married, and our brothers finally got to meet Asher! So all in all it was a fantastic trip! I'll post pics of that soon too....a month late!
3. Another reason I've been MIA is that Asher had is 4 month growth spurt--which was kind of rough. Then last week we survived (barely) his first cold! It wasn't even a bad cold, but the poor guy was miserable!

Well, those are the biggest updates, I think! I promise to post pics soon...Asher turned 5 months this week!

Asher at 4 Months

 We just got back from a 2 week trip to Missouri, but more on that later. Asher turned 4 months on the 7th! I really can't believe how fast it's going! Asher is such a joy and a wonderful baby! We go to the dr at the end of the week so we'll finally get his stats! Here's a few facts on Baby Asher:

• He's happiest in the morning and gladly starts his day at 5am! Which is a little early for me, but who can be mad at that smiling face??
• He's starting to giggle more and more and we'll do anything to get a giggle out!
• He still wakes every 3-4 hours at night, but eats and goes right back to sleep.
• He travels quite well and has already racked up 7 flights!
• He hasn't lost a bit of his hair and it just keeps getting longer! It even curls at the nape of it neck!

And here's the only thing you really want to see, pictures:

Boy Genius!

Yep, I have become one of those moms who post videos of their baby doing ordinary things and fully thinks it's the most extraordinary thing any baby has ever done! But luckily we live thousands of miles from our family so I get to post videos of A because "the grandparents, aunts, and uncles" NEED to see this! So here's a video of my genius rolling over!

Asleep or Mild Drunk?

Sorry for the annoyingly loud tv in the background....

Our Last Day in Boston

We didn't have much of a plan for our last day; we just played it by ear. We headed to Chinatown for lunch. I have to admit, it wasn't the nicest Chinatown, but the food was good! we found a restaurant that served dim sum so Chris was pretty happy! After lunch we found a bakery that sold bubble tea!
Chris and I with our bubble tea....clearly Asher was as excited as always!


Asher and Daddy ready to head out for dinner!

We spent the evening at Quincy market finishing up buying souvenirs. Then we had our last dinner at Cheers, which was great!!

Of course we had to end the night at Modern Pastry for dessert! There's an ongoing rivalry between Modern Pastry and Mike's Pastry and which has the better cannolli. So, of course, we had to put it to the test and judge for ourselves! Our vote ended up going to Mike's pastry...they had better options and just tasted a little better!

All in all we had a fantastic trip and Asher did quite well! He only had one fit on one flight out of three! And he was calm before the flight even took off so all in all I consider that a big success!
