Week 4 as 4!

Wow I am two weeks behind... got a lot to show you.. not really but here is a good taste of what our week 4 looked like...

Asher started smiling for the first time... smiles that were not associated with gas that is... and we just love them every time he gives us one.

Dude's day... all three of my boys on our bed watching a movie... 

 

Asher's eyes were finally clearing up (it only took 4 weeks) no more mucus and crystal clear... and they still look blue but might change later.  Here is a great picture of him blowing bubbles for you.

 

 

It sure has been fun watching Pierce as an older brother.. I always knew he had a sweet heart but never knew what he would be like as a brother... he is wonderful and Asher is so blessed to have him.  Here Pierce is teaching him how to give "dukes", something we do in our family as a gesture of love (maybe).

 

And we found out that Asher likes to sleep on his belly.. I put him this way for some tummy time and he went to sleep.  I love this picture of him with his lamb from Aunt JuJu bc he looks so little... I have pictures now where he does not look so small in comparison... 

 

Asher is still waking up every 3 hours at night (on the money) to feed.  So we are getting lots of alone time together still and it takes me about 5 min to wake up but after I do I sure do enjoy our cuddle time. We will usually feed for about 20 minutes and then I burp him and then he goes right back to bed.  But I realized this week after doing the math I am only getting 2 hours of sleep at a time (no wonder I am tired).  I wake up, feed him, do all the stuff that goes with that which takes about an hour all and all and then I go back to bed only to wake again in 2 hours... wow not trying to rush him to grow up but I could use a little more sleep.

That weekend we got to get out with daddy and let Pierce have some time that was just about him so we went to a local water park that was just open for the summer weather.  Pierce really enjoyed playing on the slides with friends while Asher and I hung out in the shade (second pic below).

 

And we even went on a road trip (check out our post going for a drive)... Pierce enjoyed his new ipad holder and Asher slept... 

 

 

 

We even got to go Starbucks for the first time and I had a little helper taking good care of Asher... sweet Kate looks like a natural.

 

And daddy has been trying really hard to teach Asher how to hold his own bottle... and he finally did it... not a good picture but you get the point... well done Asher... 

And lastly here is a little video of some fun time on the changing table... not sure if he was going to have fun or if he wanted to cry...
