I can't believe how much Asher has grown the past 2 weeks! We had his Dr's appointment yesterday and he seems to be healthy as can be! He was 10lbs, his head was 15.5" around and he was 21.5" long... that is almost 2 lbs heavier than 2 weeks ago! Plus, his head grew over 1/2" and he grew 1.5" in length. I kept having to adjust the straps on the carseat and I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong - turns out, he really was getting bigger every day!
It's been fun watching him change and learn new things - although small at this point in his life :-) He's started to notice when his hands are on something, he doesn't have hardly any control but you can tell he realizes that he's feeling something. And he's been playing with his tongue a
lot. He'll watch Mark and stick it out after Mark does. I'm jealous because Mark and Asher can curl their tongues - I cannot! I know, it's genetic, but still! It's weird that your baby can do something you can't!
One other thing... he's started to outgrow clothes already! I was particularly sad this morning b/c I put this onesie on him (this cute one my mom gave him) and it was way too tight! It fit him just 2 weeks ago... but I guess 2 lbs is a lot of body mass to gain when you start out at 8 :-)
Oh well, I guess I'll just be making some trips to our local clothing consignment store... I'm going to need some cute clothes here soon anyway! Also, we got Asher circumcised - that was fun :-( It's been fine though... the first diaper was a nightmare so thank the Lord that my good friend Gizelle lives only 2 doors down and was able too rush over to the rescue. Then, last night we went to Mark's parent's house for dinner and grandma Betty was able to give me some pointers and put my mind at ease. I'm so thankful for such a circle of support! I would go crazy without all of you! Enjoy the pics!

I think blogger hates me! Still can't seem to leave a comment without having to try umpteen times.
Anyway - I'm glad I at least got some cute pictures of him in that onesie! He is so cute, and I am having a ball showing off my pictures of him, and thoroughly enjoying every new one. We all check the blog every day for updates, and I've figured out how to print the pictures on my kodak printer, so I always have a good supply!

I just had to say how cute Asher and his tummy look in that first picture!
And what talent, that he can already curl his tongue! That just seems really cool to me, for some reason :p
