Asher has been growing and learning and developing everyday. Today he was very talkative and surprised us with his endurance to keep talking in multi-syllable hums and hahs, complete with new facial expressions. We could see his tongue moving in his mouth as he made new sounds. Here it is for the whole internet to see.

Asher’s first grab
Asher has this toy ball with huge holes in it, perfect for grabbing and holding on to. This day he grabs it for the first time, all while sitting in his bumbo chair. Those are two milestones at the same time, sitting up and grabbing onto something.
Asher’s first reach for the birdie
Asher has had a lot of firsts lately but mom and dad have been too busy to record them. Tonight after finishing dinner we noticed that Asher was batting at his birdie that is attached to the car seat. We were able to capture it on video to share.
Asher is 8 weeks old today
Today Asher turned 8 weeks old and we visited the pediatrician. The most exciting part of the appointment for daddy was the weigh in. Asher measured 23.75 inches long, 11.5 lbs and his head was 15.75 inches. According to the charts, Asher is 92-percentile in height, 70-percentile in weight and 42-percentile in head circumference. At 2 weeks he was 75, 50 and 50.
The least fun part were the immunization shots. Asher cried like he’d been stabbed – which he was. One 26 gauge needle in the outside of his left upper thigh, and another in the right. It wasn’t fun for him or mom and dad.
More later. Daddy is taking a big test tomorrow and needs to get back to preparing.
