O2 Free!

Our little guy is finally oxygen free and his face is so stinkin' cute! Here are a couple pictures I took this week...


Just sleeping away
(Note: his eye is not naturally that shiny...it's an ointment that I have to put on it.)

Hanging out in his cradle...this is his favorite face to make. I just love those pursed lips!!

The Babe is growing...

I know it has been forever since we updated the blog...the days just seem to fly by and I don't know where the past month has gone! Asher is doing great - growing a ton and is more interactive each day - we are really enjoying being parents (though I don't love it quite as much in the middle of the night as I do during the daytime hours)! We hope to have him off oxygen in the next day or two which will be such a great thing...I can't wait to see his whole face without the oxygen tube and pads! Here are some recent pictures of our beautiful son!


Thanks to "Auntie" Amy, Asher was able to get in the Christmas spirit with his "Santa Clause" outfit. I kind of wish they made these in adult sizes cause it looks so comfy!

He looks so small in his big crib!
(Don't worry, he isn't sleeping in it yet...i'm afraid he would get lost)

1 month old!

I couldn't resist taking a picture of the baby buns...they are just so cute!

Asher with Grandma Brokke at her birthday party

Aunt Deanna came to visit Asher this past weekend - it was so fun to have her here!

Asher loves walking around the house and looking outside with daddy...Oh the adventures of a one month old!

He's just so precious!
(Notice the double chin action starting. Asher definitely likes to eat...he must get that from his mother!)

A busy week for the little guy

Asher broke free from the NICU on December 23rd. He's had an eventful second week of life with Christmas, Mark's Birthday and New Year's celebrations. While he's still on oxygen (mostly due to the altitude of Colorado), he's growing and doing great so far out in the real world.

First time in his carseat, ready to head home! Yes, we are aware the pacifier is close to the size of his face.
