Asher's 6 months old


Asher turned 6 months old today. He's eating solid foods now: pears, prunes, avocado and sweet potato as well as rice and oatmeal. He LOVES his solid food. Scraffs it down and usually I have to go get more. Most days he eating breakfast lunch and dinner. He rolls over all the time. Doesn't sit up well yet on his own, but when on his stomach really tries to scoot (without much success yet). He sure loves his big brothers, always distracted by them. Especially when he's nursing...which makes it kinda hard for mommy to get his 4 feedings in. But he's sure not malnutritioned. At his appt today he weighed in at 18lb 8 oz, 28 inches long. Dr Yarckin said his two bottom teeth are almost through, shouldn't be more than 2 weeks till they are in. Which explains his little bit of fussiness (he never cries except when hungry or wet) and the fact that he's chewing on anything and everything with drool dripping out of his mouth. He's also babbling all the time, with dadadada being his favorite. He's quite the loud talker already, trying to keep up with big brothers! Laughs and most anything....quite honestly he's THE HAPPIEST baby I have ever seen. It truly is amazing to me. He lives up to his name, which actually means happy. God has truly blessed us with him!
