A Pig Named...

Bob! Asher learned about a pig named Bob today.

Which Way to the Gym

Asher likes to start his day off at the gym. He does a little working out but mostly goes so he can look at himself in the mirror... And then fall asleep. It's hard work being a baby.

My Real Name

Hi it's me, Asher.  I'm finding that my Mom doesn't remember my name very well.  If I could talk, I would remind her but she seems to think my name one of the following:

- Sugar Pie
- Honey Buns
- Peanut
- Peanut Shell
- Pumpkin
- Pumpkin Pie
- Crabby Pants
- Glow Worm (when I have my nifty glow in the dark pacifier in- I love that thing!)
- Sweet Potato
- Sweetie Pie
- Asher Dasher (thanks Cousin Annie for that one! :( )
- Asher (THIS IS MY REAL NAME)

Personally I'm a little concerned that all of the names are food related.  (Especially when there is this black furry thing that likes to lick my face)  However, I didn't mind when she called me those names while singing this song (click here) to me yesterday.

I Made it 5 Weeks!

I'm 5 weeks this weekend and I've been working hard this month.  Here's the scoop:

First let's talk about the good stuff...
- I went to my first wedding and must say I looked quite dapper in the outfit Mom and Dad put on me (see picture collage below).  There was a struggle to get me to wear it but in the end they managed to win me over.
- I celebrated my cousin Annie's 5th birthday.  I don't know what My Little Ponies are yet but I'm sure she will teach me when I'm old enough.
- I'm getting quite strong, I can hold up my head really really well.  We started doing tummy time.  My favorite place to practice is while laying on Mom or Dad's chest.
- I'm  getting over my sleep craze and am awake alot more.  Beware though, I must keep moving!  (Daddy says I need something new to do every 4 minutes and 30 seconds)
-  I'm a rock star at taking a bottle and love the time with Dad.
-  There is a black furry thing that likes to come up and lick me on the face,  I'm actually not sure if I like this or not.
- Oh and I weigh in at 10 lbs 6 oz last I checked.

I'm learning that there are couple things I don't like to do.  Though the list is small sometimes these things feel like a big deal.
I'm still not a fan of...
- Taking a bath (see picture collage below)
- Farting
- Spitting up or burping
- Laying on my back

Nice Weather

Finally had some nice weather around here on Friday afternoon.  We took advantage of it!  (And Dad was the perfect chaise lounge for Asher.)

Facial Cues

You know how there are facial cues from babies that tell if they're hungry, tired etc?

This is the face for impending massive spit up.
