Twenty Five Weeks: Fun With More Solid Foods!

Dear Sweet Boy,

Twenty Five Weeks flew by and was kind of a blur!  Like all weeks it was extremely busy and you spent your days running around with Mommy and your evenings playing with Mommy and Daddy.  Your Daddy took Friday off and had Monday off for Labor Day so you had an extra long weekend with the whole family.  You enjoyed some time with Grandma on Friday while Mommy and Daddy played golf and then on Saturday we picked up your GiGi (Great Grandma Ralphie) and took her to the Lake House.  You were definitely the center of attention up there and everyone enjoyed playing with you.  Your laughter is infectious!  All Daddy has to do is take out his hands and put them in "tickle position" and you start laughing before he even touches you!  We also went to a BBQ at The Prestins house, which was fun.  It was so cute seeing you play with McKinnley and it was the first time I've seen you really take interest in another baby.  You kept touching and patting her hand.  It was adorable.  This past week you also started solid foods again and this time around you are ready and LOVE them!  You crack Mommy up with the way you can be watching the dogs, but still wanting to eat.  You'll be looking away, but opening your mouth waiting for the food.  You are loving Brown Rice Cereal and Butternut Squash so far.  Yesterday you ate one and half pouches of Butternut Squash AND Brown Rice Cereal for lunch and this was AFTER you had just nursed.  You love to eat!

We are just so in love with you, Asher.  God has blessed us beyond belief with you.  Yesterday Daddy and I were talking about you and how you make us just melt with the adorable faces you make.  One face that cracks us you and warms our heart so  much is after we do your dream feed (your last feed of the day at 10:30pm, after you have been asleep since 7pm) and you aren't supposed to really wake up, occasionally you wake up when we're burping you and you push away from our shoulders and look up at our faces with big interested eyes.  If we make eye contact with you, you break into a HUGE smile and get so excited.  We try not to smile too big back, because you are supposed to be asleep, but we can't usually help it!  Sometimes Daddy and I will shut the door while doing our best to contain our laughter, we can't get over how adorable you are!

Such a big boy in your plaid shirt (it's a hand me down from The Paluskas!)

Silly faces for the camera!

Beautiful sleeping boy!

We love you so much Ashbee!
