2 months already!

These past two months have seemed to fly by - but, at the same time, thinking about our family without Asher in it seems like a lifetime ago. It's crazy how quickly and completely your perspective and life changes with a child. We just love him so much and learn more and more each day what it means to sacrifice and give to this child. You definitely see how selfish you can be when it's 3:00am and everything within you wants to stay in bed instead of feeding a crying baby and changing poopy diapers. Nonetheless, we love him more than we ever thought possible. We still can't get over the fact that this little guy will grow up and become his own person with his own unique personality...incredible.

You'll notice most the pictures are still of him sleeping or looking around...we can't wait until he starts becoming more interactive and playing. But, he's still so cute and fun. Even the past couple weeks he is responding more to us. He stays awake longer between naps, and enjoys staring...especially at lights. He also smiles more and is starting to try and 'talk' to us.

He loves falling asleep in his swing, which is great, except his head flops over. We would move it back, but he gets real grumpy when we do.

Asher met Aunt Brook this past weekend for the first time

Apparently Asher didn't like his Pooh Bear outfit quite as much as we did...

Oooohhhhh...look at the lights.....so pretty........

Falling asleep with Aunt Susan

This pretty much sums up how we feel these days...

Ah, the days when it's cute to have coordinated puppy paws on every part of your outfit...

Just a few pics of the dude...

The past week or so we have really noticed changes in Asher. He is growing so quickly! He has started to realize that his hands are attached to his body and that he can control them and his eyes are following things with colors. His loves watching the animals on his mobile and is transfixed by the colors on the wall. We are having so much fun watching him change and become more interested in things around him!

Hanging out in his swing

Asher and Grandma Finzel
(She came down to watch him for a few hours so I could get out of the house last week when Mark was gone...Thank you Donna!)

Asher and his new friends...Avery and Caiden. Avery is Mandy's daughter and is 8 1/2 months old and Caiden is Amanda's son and he is 5 months old.

I love this new outfit that "Grandma" Reba sent to him...I call it his jail break attire.

Mark and Asher just chillin' in the rocking chair....Asher loves being held facing outward so he can look around.

His first night sleeping in his big crib! He actually slept really well and I was able to get 6 straight hours of sleep...it was AMAZING!
