4 Months

Another month has gone by and I told myself that I would try to at least make one other post before Asher’s monthly update, but alas I didn’t do it.  We aren’t as boring as we may seem.  We do things as a family, Liam is always up to something and crazy stuff always happens.  So I will try harder to do more than just Asher’s monthly updates.

Asher’s Stats and developments:

  • Weight: 13lbs 1oz 15th percentile
  • Height: 24 inches 20th percentile
  • Head: 41.1cm  45th percentile

  • has started laughing, but it takes quite a bit to get him to do it
  • rolls onto his side, just can’t quite get all the way over
  • is very ticklish on his back and thighs.  His tickle reflex is putting his hands up by his mouth.

  • is very loud, when he’s in a good mood you know it.
  • can turn himself in a complete circle when laying on the ground
  • is super wiggly, he rarely holds still.  Changing his diaper is quite a feat, especially trying not to get his foot in the poop.

  • still a good sleeper, bed by 8:30 and up to eat by 6 or 6:30 and then asleep until 8 or 9. 
  • loves his brother, smiles at him constantly
  • has started playing with toys

  • loves when I sing to him.
  • new foods he has tasted: calzone and bagel (thanks to Liam.  see previous posts about other foods)
  • now takes a bottle.  Still nursing, but 2 weeks ago took him in to the Dr. (thought he had a sore throat), and he dropped to the 5th percentile for weight.  So I knew it was time.  He gained a pound in two weeks. Woo Hoo for weight gain, Boo for having a bottle.

Look at those eyes.  Proud to say he got them from me.  Did you notice his scratch.  His nails grow SO fast.  I’m clipping them every two weeks.  That scratch drew blood.  Oh the adorable blue sweater was one that my brother’s wore.  Don’t you love it?  I do.

So I was blog stalking the other day and was bored because I don't know that many people who do blogs (or update very often) and then I remembered that you have a blog! So yay for that! Your boys are so cute and Asher's blue blue eyes are adorable. You make some good babies :-)

Oh my, what a cutie. Weston says, "He looks like he is exactly half and half. What do you know?" His 3-month-old pictures are soooo adorable, too. I was "aw"-ing and "so cute"-ing out loud. Thanks for the smiles. It was fun talking to you just now. :)

aww! Staci he looks just like YOU! I love it! and it's not just the blue eyes - his little features totally look more like you than Jamon. (Good, since Liam seems to resemble Jamon more)

I can't believe how much he's grown, and it sounds like he is such a good baby! That sleep schedule for a 4 month old is amazing! None of my kids slept from 8:30-6:30 at that age. What a blessing for you!
