Oh Asher…are you really 7 months already???
You are so much fun right now! You have a funny little laugh you do that makes you cough because it comes from the back of your throat. And you also have a deep belly laugh when we play and tickle you.
You are working so hard on learning to crawl and have recently started this yoga pose as you try to move forward. I really love this in between stage of watching you focus and concentrate so hard as you are working to learn something new.
You are a happy boy! So happy almost all of the time. And so curious about everything! I love to see you stare and watch or someone or play with something in your hands. The newness of everything is so fun.
Right after turning 6 months, you went through a little of a rough patch for 2-3 weeks with your sleeping not being quite as consistent and being a little more needy but then right at that same time your 2 bottom teeth broke through. The right one on 11/11 and the left just two days later on 11/13. Once your teething let up, you got right back on track.
You love your solid foods and eat a lot. Right now twice a day: breakfast and dinner. So far you've tried oatmeal cereal, yellow squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, peas, and bananas.
You are nursing 5 times a day, taking solids twice a day and napping usually twice a day sometimes three. You typically sleep at night on average 6:30pm-6:30am.
Ella and Easton are so happy to see you when they get home from school and the feeling is so mutual. You can't take your eyes off of them.
You are fine with other people holding you until you see me and then you get upset and want me back. You are with me all the time, so that is the extent of separation anxiety thus far.
You are talking and making new noises like "da da da". I still haven't hard the "ma" sound but we are working on it! :)
You are a chunky boy and I LOVE that about you. Everything about you is so so sweet and you are wonderful in every way. I love you Asher!!!
