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.

Celebrating Christmas with the Finzel grandparentsHis first restaurant experience - Celebrating Mark's Birthday at Macaroni Grill (Mark is teaching him early that Italian is the best food in the world)
New Years Eve (Can you tell Asher's excited to ring in the new year? Shockingly, he slept right through the ball dropping).

Hi Danielle! This is Nicole, Ashley's friend. Your little guy is adorable. I hope you are all recovering well and that his breathing is getting better! I can only imagine how hard it is for him-- we went snowboarding and I myself was noticing that it was harder to breathe with the altitude! God bless your family! :)

I, umm, look really pissed to have to be the one to hold the dog in the picture. That's funny that that was the best one. Love you guys!
