the cutest

Claire is my biggest helper with Asher. Today I asked her to hold Asher while I finished making a chocolate smoothie. She happily agreed. Then off she went to the living room with Asher on her hip. She thought she would bend over to grab Mr Ash a toy on the floor to play with. She nearly fell over and almost dropped Asher in the process, but was saved by the couch. She was so over come with anxiety that she had almost dropped her brother. She was on the verge of tears and kept saying "I almost dropped him!" I couldn't be mad at her with such remorse for what she had done. So instead I comforted her and told her she was a hero and had saved Asher. Claire has such a tender heart and hates to hurt or even almost hurt anyone. She feels just horrible if she feels that she has hurt anyone. 

The Every Day

 He cries real tears

 just capturing an every day moment. Emma dancing around in Ashers bassinet, Claire kicking at Emma, and Asher rubbing his head into my shoulder asking for a nap too late in the day to give him one

 trying to get a picture of Asher- Em and Claire came to join in

Emma got a bottle of "bath fizzies" for Christmas. They turn your water a lovely blue, pink, or yellow color. You are to use 1-2 per bath. Emma dumped the WHOLE container of fizzies in. There were 150 fizzies in that container.

I thought Asher and I looked alike! I was right... Although Ash is cuter!

Ashers Stats

Asher had his 4 month check up today. His stats are as follows:

 

Weight:12 lbs (0.49%)

Length:24.5 inches (8%)

Head circumference: 16.5 inches (39%)

 

 

It is a bit concerning that he is not gaining much weight. He eats every 2 hours and I seem to have enough milk supply breast feeding him. He has even been waking up every 2 hours to eat in the night. We are going to start doing some formula bottles and rice cereal too to see if his weight will go up! Hopefully he is well and he just has a fast metabolism! Maybe he just hasn't been getting enough to eat and that is why he wakes up so much at night and is fussy a lot. Who knows!
