5 Months

please excuse the pictures.  My camera is broken and we can’t find the charger for Jamon’s point and shoot camera.  So all we have is our phones. Not horrible pictures, but definitely not great.  Still a cute face though.

Asher’s 5 month stats:

• Weight 15lbs. (bathroom scale)
• uses his feet, while on his back, to push himself across the room.
• enjoys watching TV more than he should at this age. Even when we face him away from the TV he will arch his back or turn his body to watch.

• gives anyone a smile that will give him the time of day
• not the biggest fan of his carseat
• I think I’ve said it before, but he is the wiggliest kid ever.

• can do a sit up (see video at end of post)
• loves playing with toys, and paper, and anything he can get his hands on
• stares enviously at our food and has even started reaching for it
• hasn’t tasted any new food this month, but did swallow a small piece of paper
• has rolled from stomach to back a few times
• still hard to make laugh. Maybe all the smiling is taking it’s place.

Here is an awesome video of Asher doing a sit up.  I recorded it with my phone on a low setting so I could send it to people via text, so the quality is bad.

We are working on getting him to do a sit up lying flat on the ground.  He is close, but not quite there.
