Growing Boy!!!

Seriously, I'm a horrible blogger! I can't seem to keep up with updating pictures and blogs here...but I'll try to do better! A lot of it has to do with our broken computer. Mike has the day off today and I told him to when I come home from work I want to see a new computer ready for me to use!!! He laughed...but I think it's gonna happen, finally! I'm SO not used to the laptop I have and my measly iPhone can only do so much... ANYWAY....Asher won't stop growing!!!!! I'm loving every minute of him. He is such a sweet baby!!! I don't want to jinx anything...BUT he has slept through the night THREE nights in a row!!! I'm loving it!!! I'm talking like ALL the way through...like 8p--7a!!! I definitely don't miss getting up in the middle of the night. ESPECIALLY since I'm back to work!!! YEP, I officially started back to work last week. I was really hoping that it wouldn't happen...but it did. Since Mike works from home 3 days a week he has been taking and picking up Ash from daycare. I will say that I LOVE his daycare. They are super sweet and have a great curriculum (even for infants!!!). They are Christian-based, very new, clean and love the 'teachers' in the infant room...and they are about 2 miles from my house. They also have video cameras in the rooms so I can check up on him every 5 minutes! ;) ha. It's fun to be able to see them reading him books, playing paddy-cake, singing songs, feeding him and watching him sleep. Of course I wish it was MEEE that was doing all of these things, but it's good to know that he's in great hands! That's all for now....back to work...










Sunday's best!!! This is the outfit that Asher wore to his Dedication at our church last weekend. Such a special day!!

2 Months!!!

I'm a bit late...but Asher is now 2 months and 7 days! He had his 2 month appointment last Monday and got the shots like a champ! I heard lots of horror stories and was expecting the worst. I was pleasantly surprised when he did great. He was a bit fussy that night but really nothing too bad at all. He weighed in at 12lbs 7oz and is now 23 3/4 inches long! He's definitely a growing boy!!!
Last weekend my mom, Asher and I went on a road trip to Oklahoma City for my cousin's baby shower. As always, Asher did great in the car! My mom got to experience how me and Ash get up in the middle of the night since we were in the same hotel room! :) It was great to see my dad, stepmom and stepsister who drove in from Nebraska! My stepsis, Kinsey, drove back to Dallas with us and spent her whole Spring Break here at our house! We loved every minute of it! We stayed busy visiting family, going out to dinner/lunches, shopping, and also went to the Harbor and the Arboretum. She took lots of pictures of Asher...I can't wait to see the final product! Asher loved spending time with Aunt Kinsey and he can't wait to see her again!!! xo!
Asher smiles a ton these days! He is SUCH a sweet baby! He loves car rides, stroller walks in the neighborhood, being outside, lying on my/Mike/anybody's chest, he loves to look around at lights, walls, shadows...really anything. He coos all the time and is starting to giggle. He is so fun!!!


SUPER sweet newborn photo. This is the pic I used on the birth announcements that went out a few weeks ago.

Ashers first time at the church nursery. THEY SAID that he did great. So I'll have to trust that it's true. ha! He was swinging in the swing when we picked him up and cried when they took him out to bring him to us. Maybe he DID have fun?!? :)

My stepsister, Kinsey, did a photo shoot of me and Ash at the Arboretum. I can't wait to see them all!
