Asher - 3 months


Weight: 12.4 lb (home measurement)
Height: 25"
Clothing Size: 3-6 or 6 months.

Milestones: Trying SO hard to roll over! He can roll from his back onto his side. Started laughing on occasion. Holds head up well both while being held and when on his tummy. Holds on to the shoulder of the person carrying him. Vocalizes a little bit - mostly "aah" and "nah" and "wah." Can grasp objects and move them around.
Daily Routine: Hasn't changed much from last month. Naps getting a little more predictable and bedtime is moving earlier. Usually only up once a night to eat, around 3 a.m.
Life Update: 
I went back to work June 1, when Asher was 10 weeks old. (I'm enjoying my last month - my last day at my job will be July 2.) Ross has been home with both boys. He's finding that caring for two little boys on his own all day is more challenging than just one! Asher has taken a while to warm up to eating from a bottle, but Ross reports that he is finally eating well from one. We are using these silly Comotomo bottles that are supposed to be more similar to breasts since Asher was slow to warm up to bottle feeding and seemed to like them better than the Dr. Brown's bottles we used for Ezra.

Asher's hair is slowly growing in light brown, and his eyes are changing. I'd still call them blue, but they are sort of a murky greenish blue. I suspect he'll have green or hazel eyes, but we will see. He seems to have my more olive skin undertone. He has chunky little thighs and chubby cheeks.

Asher is quite alert and likes to see what's going on - enjoys being worn, held, and talked to. Ross notes that me being in the room calms him down sometimes, even if I'm not holding him. He definitely recognizes his parents and brother and gives us big smiles. Ezra loves Asher too - he recently scared him by accident and felt terribly bad about it. Poor Ezra took longer to recover than Asher did; it was very sweet.

He also LOVES being naked. This kid is probably going to be our little nudist.
