I love my feet!
yummy!
Can I just say that I cannot believe Asher is already 5 months old! It seems like last week that I was waiting so impatiently for him to get here! Well 5 months has brought a lot of new things! First of which are TEETH!! Well one tooth, I should say. His first tooth came in on the bottom in the front. It finally broke through this past week. His second tooth is trying to come through now, causing some fussiness in our little man. I have tried to get a picture of it, but every time I open his mouth he sticks his tongue out over it. But I have made a lot of people feel it (after they washed their hands of course:)) I was so proud of his pretty little tooth! All in all, he has been a trooper only having short periods of fussiness here and there. So next on our new list is....rice cereal. I finally caved and started feeding it to him about a week ago. Let me just tell you something about Asher---that boy is SERIOUS about his food! He was born ready to eat and has never had any problems nursing or gaining weight. So when we started cereal I wasn't really sure what to expect, but he loves it. He is very impatient though. He doesn't like to wait for you to get the next spoonful to his mouth. Once you give him a bite, he swallows and then starts screaming until you give him the next bite. It isn't an unhappy scream or a hurting scream, but the scream he uses when he wants something. We tried to video tape him a few times, but it just sounds like he hates it because he is so impatient. These past few days have been better, as he is learning to be more patient and to sit in his new high chair seat. He rolls over from his back to his tummy and from his tummy to his back. He wants to crawl so bad! When you put him on his tummy he just wiggles his arms and legs like he wants to move! He'll turn himself in circles--it is so cute. I know once he learns to crawl-he is gonna GO! He can't sit up by himself yet, but I know it won't be long. He just lacks a little balance. He loves to stand up! Forget about playing laying down--this very rarely satisfies him anymore! He must be sitting or standing! SO, those are some things five months have brought. Some things time hasn't given us is a full night's sleep yet. If we're lucky he'll sleep through his midnight feeding, but he always gets up between 2-3 and then again around 5-6. I'm just not sure when night time feedings become more of a habit than a necessity--any advice?? Well, that's all for now. Happy 5 months Ash-man! We are so proud of you!
We had a great Easter weekend. We were busy with three church services, one on Saturday night and two on Sunday morning. It was wonderful celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He has saved us from a life of darkness and despair! We are forever grateful for the sacrifice he made so that we can have a relationship with Him!! Hallelujah-He is risen!! Asher was fantastic and looked so handsome in his sweater vest. I must say I had such high hopes for pictures this weekend, but he has gotten to be so squirmy that it was hard to get a good shot of him. Hope you enjoyed some of the better ones.
