All About Asher:
Weight: 18 lbs., 15 1/2 oz.
Length: 25 1/4 inches
Food: He's eating mostly formula now, but we still nurse once in the morning and once at bed time. We've tried peas, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, pears and applesauce. He loves everything except the peas (that doesn't break my heart--yuck!). I've tried to give him a few puffs, but he just gags on them...he hasn't quite figured out how to gum them up before swallowing.
Milestones: He said "Da-da" on the morning of Carter's birthday party (Oct. 24). Chris heard it first and was quick to rub it in "Ma-ma's" face. Why is it that the mama spends the most time with the babies and the first word is always "Da-da?" Ugh. He's also rolling everywhere! We tried to put one of those sleep positioner wedges in his crib, but he just rolls right over it.
Misc. update: Little man is sleeping much better lately. He'll go to sleep between 8-8:30pm and might yell 1-2 times for his binky in the night, but we call that progress! We've even had a few nights where we didn't hear from him all night...until 5am. Yeah, once that fun time rolls around, he's up for good. We BEG him to go back to sleep, but he's ready to party by then. Ah well, you win some, you lose some.
He's still a pretty big mama's boy, but he's a big fan of Carter lately as well. Carter will sing crazy songs or dance and laugh for him and Asher just CRACKS UP. He's also gotten into peek-a-boo this month and we can usually get him cackling with that as well. We're pretty sure a tooth will pop up any day...he's a chewing and slobbering fool! We also moved him into a bigger carseat a couple weeks ago. We could barely fit the straps around him in the baby seat and it was a LOT of weight to carry around. He's much more comfortable in his new big boy seat!
