Asher- 2 months old

On August 11th, Asher turned 2 months old!

(Better posting late than never!)

Couldn't get any smiles from Mr. Handsome,
but he was sure talking up a storm!

Here are some things Ash is up to.
At 7 weeks Asher moved into Carter’s 3-month clothes.  Other brands are still 0-3 months.
I started putting him in his crib for the early morning “nap.”
On August 5^th I went back to work 2 days a week.  While it is tough being away, I really like what I do and I missed my coworkers.  It wouldn’t be as easy going back if I didn’t know that he was in the best hands in the world with Memaw watching him on Mondays and G-ma on Tuesdays.  So thankful!!
We took out the infant insert of the car seat.
Asher makes noises all the time- when he eats, sleeps, etc. Just a very noisy kid. :-)
2 very exciting words:  Swim Lessons!!
He developed cradle cap- poor guy.  We are mainly trying coconut oil to get rid of it- it's amazing stuff and seems to be helping.
He struggled with sleeping in the swing as he would shimmy down and his feet would hang over the edge.  We tried the bassinet from Auntie Jen instead.
He seems to have added a nighttime wake up around 1-2am.  I have been able to shush him back to sleep for a few hours without getting him “up”.
I had to order diapers for the first time!  Thank you friends and family for giving us enough for 2 whole months!! (There are still some size 2, but he’s not quite big enough for them yet.)
By around 9 weeks he is really starting to smile more.  He even does what is almost like a little laugh.  He is so adorable!!  Sometimes it seems that he is responding to things around him.  He has greeted me with smiles when he wakes up.  It’s awesome!
Drooling has become an issue- holy cow!!  This kid is just oozing drool for a good part of the day.

I am starting to try to write down some dates of when significant things happen (or what seems significant in the life of an infant)- mainly for me to look back and "remember when".  

On August 17^th he had some great smiley moments, and one time when we swear he did his version of a laugh!  He is also starting to do his “coo-ing/talking” so much more!!

Aug 21- he would watch his hand and repeatedly hit the toys hanging in his mat.  So coordinated. :-)

And now the fun stuff- pictures/videos!!

Talking to Daddy.

Cousin time with Nolan.

He did a shout out to Uncle Ryan who was stationed out of
state at wildfires for a few weeks. 

He is losing a bit of his hair on the sides,
but boy is he working the faux hawk!!
