Asher is 5 weeks old now…he started smiling. It is so cute to see him smile at his sisters. His first smile was at 4 weeks old to Grandma and Aunt Jessica.

SERIOUS FACE (is this a James face or what?)

TRYING TO SMILE

ALMOST THERE

AWWWW…HOW CUTE.
We had a great Memorial Day weekend at Grandpa and Grandma’s house!
Asher is one month old.

A photographer from our church took these beautiful shots at Mayfield Park in Austin. Some of my fav:





It’s been a whirlwind at the Paquette household as I have been and will continue to be in baby daze. Daddy has been home this week (what a support he is-thanks hubby!) and I’m quite nervous as next week is my first week without any help during the days! Ahh!

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!!


We took our first outing on Friday to Toys R Us to get Ella’s first haircut. My mom was with us so I wasn’t totally crazy going out alone with 3 kids. Asher did okay. I had to feed him and then he had a poop explosion where I went through 3 diapers and 50 wipes in one change. It took about 15 minutes to clean him so that was fun.
Ella sure looked cute after her haircut and is such a little girl now. Where has our toddler gone?


Things I’ve learned this past week:
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!
