3 months!

Asher is 3 months old today! What a blessing he is to our family.


Rilyn is a sweet sister and is becoming a little mommy to him!

(he is half her size!)

reading time!

Rilyn and I had our first ‘girls night’ last night b/c she is needing some individual time. Something about the age of four, it is all about ‘me first’ and Asher is taking up too much of my time as far as she is concerned! So, we went to the Ceramic Lodge in Round Rock and painted plates! I can’t wait to pick them up next week to see the final product. She had a great time doing what she does best-art! (she drew herself on the plate-what a precious keepsake!)

Weight Watchers

Asher is 2 months old today and so he got his 5 shots and oral vaccine!  Yuck-poor guy!  He was weighed at 12 lbs. (55%) which is heavier than both girls were at 2 months and he is shorter than both girls were 22 1/2 inches (25%).  So were looking at a possible chubbs…well, what do you think??

8 weeks old

Asher is already 8 weeks old!!  The biggest comment I get is that “he looks like a man!”  😉  He loves his play gym and hates his car seat.   Here he is (and his double chin)!

Rilyn had her dance recital this past weekend.  They danced to the song “Do You Love Me?” from Dirty Dancing.  They were so cute and their performance got the most laughs due to Rilyn kissing the only boy in her show.  (Don’t worry she was supposed to!)

Asher’s Tree

Asher’s Oma, James’ mother, brought a special oak tree to celebrate his birth.  Together, Rilyn and Ella helped plant the tree in our front yard.  Asher will grow up with his tree and it is a special reminder of how much he is loved in our family.  Thanks Oma for helping us out this week-we truly appreciated it!!

One week old

Things I’ve learned this past week:

  • You can survive on one hour of sleep at night, you can’t function, but you can survive.
  • Transition is hard for anyone, but especially a 4 year old.
  • It’s all about support- thanks mom for helping me so much this week!
  • Asher is such a blessing-I actually have a son!

Round 1

And in this corner we have Stylin Rilyn Paquette ready for a fight at the mere age of 9 days old…

And in this corner we have Asher the Basher Paquette ready to fight at the mere age of 4 days old…

Let the fists fly!  Round 1 begin!

Joking aside, as you can see, Mr. Asher looks a lot like Rilyn and shares many of the same expressions.  I can picture a mini-James running around now!

Bonding

I think the sweetest thing so far is watching Rilyn and Ella bond with Asher.  I couldn’t have imagined how beautiful it is to watch my girls give their new brother so much love.   Here is some of my favorite pics of family bonding.  More pics are on our Welcome Asher album.
