Asher at 4 months

Asher is now 4 months old! He is getting so big. We just had his check-up yesterday.

Asher's Stats:
Weight: 18 lbs.
Height: 26.75 in.
Head Circumference: 17 in.

He also got his shots. Poor guy didn't like that at all. The nurse said he is really strong and unfortunately tensed his legs when getting the shots so he bled a lot. I'm not surprised though since he loves to hold on to my hands and pull himself up to a sitting position and then all the way to standing.

The poor little guy was hurting. It was easy to tell with the fussing and him not moving his legs at all. I put some warm wash cloths on his legs which seemed to help. He is such a trooper.

Here are some fun things about Asher and what he can do now that his is 4 months old!

He outgrew his bassinet. We kept him in the bassinet probably longer than we should have because my cousin Kendra was staying with us in the other bedroom.

Way too big for the bassinet. He loves the crib and being able to spread out! He has even had a few night that he sleeps without waking up once.

Asher also has discovered his toes. He has been close for a while grabbing at his legs and pants, but never quite got to his toes. But just in the past 2 weeks he found them:)

And of course he still sucks his thumb all the time. He is getting better at it too.

Though the other day I found this:

Hmmm, a hicky!?
That's right, sometimes his thumb isn't quite good enough so this is what happens.

His arm must taste pretty good.

Asher is so fun to have around. He is a handful sometimes when I'm trying to get things done, but that's probably because I have too much fun playing with him instead of actually working:)


He can roll over!!!

He has been getting this far for a couple weeks, but that arm always was in the way and he never quite made it all the way to his belly.
But today I turned around to check on him and I found him like this:

I had left him on his back and he rolled all the way over by himself. I'm just disappointed I wasn't watching.

Sometimes the process seems a bit painful, but I guess he's more flexible then me.

Asher also laughed for the first time a few weeks ago. It was so cute. He has this deep little chuckle going on (we've tried recording it but he doesn't want to cooperate).
He is definitely more active. He holds himself up, which makes holding him much easier. And he has started to play with his toys.


He is so much fun and still a pretty content little boy. His parents just love and adore him!
