16 Weeks Old!

A Brief Update:

--The word "schedule" means nothing to me. My mom, bless her heart, tries...she does. But a predictable day is really no day at all. Routines are fine, schedules are for the birds.

--I am talking a lot now, especially in the morning! That is when I am the happiest.

--I weighed at Mamaw and Poppy's house yesterday...I'm 13 pounds now!

--Still in love with my star that sings and flashes and the ceiling fan.

Thanks for checking in!

15 Weeks Old!

Here's what's happening in my world these days...

--I'm starting to hold my head up better. I practice by sitting in my Bumbo. I still won't pick it up when I'm on my tummy though.

--I sleep from about 7:15 to 9:30 and then Mom wakes me up and feeds me again. Then I go right back to sleep until about 3:30. 6 hours! Then I go back to sleep until about 6:30. Then I wake up about 8:00 ready for the day!

--I drool a lot and I like to blow spit bubbles.

--I'm starting to talk a little bit. I have a lot to say, but it's just hard to get it all out!

That's all for now. I gotta go eat.

Week 14 Stats

--I currently weigh a little over 11 lbs. So in 14 weeks, I have gained almost 7 lbs! Not bad!

--I can hold my head up a little, but i still don't pick it up when mom makes me do "tummy time." (I hate tummy time--what a waste.)

--My mom is supplementing with formula. She feeds me and then gives me a bottle. I like the soy formula that I get now better than the milk-based stuff...much easier on the ol' digestive system!

--I am sleeping about 4-5 hours at at time at night. But no matter what time my second feeding is at night, I wake up at 7:30 sharp! Last night, I ate at 7:45, went to bed at 8:30, woke up to eat at 1:30 and then again at 5:30. So I should have slept until at least 8:30 or 9:00, right? Nope. 7:30 is when I like to wake up regardless of feeding time!

--I wear 0-3 month clothes, most of which are still a little big. But that's OK--at least I'm out of those dumb preemie clothes!

--I'm adorable.

My new blog!

Hi! My name is Asher Owen and my mom has yet to purchase a baby book for me. She realized that my days are flying by and that she needs to record all that I am doing! Then, maybe one day, she will buy a baby book and write it all down. My mom is such an optimist!

So check here from time to time to see what I am up to and how big I am getting. My mom will still be posting on her blog. She just wanted me to have my own strictly dedicated to all things Asher (as if her blog hasn't become that!)
