Asher has been pretty good about having a good stretch of sleep at night. He will go 6-7 hours between feedings and then goes back to sleep and does another 3-4 hours. That means he is usually asleep when I get the kids up and help them get ready for school. He can stay sleeping because the bus stop is our driveway and I just have to step outside our door to get them on the bus. Kylee also rides the bus, so by 7:20 it is just Asher and I until the young kids come home at 3:20. I have been able to enjoy this first month with Asher because I don't have any commitments during the day. I can hang out and hold him. He makes a lot of faces, and tends to have a stressed out look on his face often. He makes lots of noises, especially when he sleeps. He is the noisiest of all my children. He will smile in the morning when I talk to him.
We turned on the vacuum while Gabbi took his 1 month pictures, so it would calm him down.
He is fussy during the day and sleeps well at night. I am enjoying getting to spend time holding him and rocking him during the day while the other kids are at school. He takes a lot of naps in my arms.
1 month - starting to try to "talk", occasional smiles
6 weeks - talking and trying to get hands to mouth
8 weeks - starting to suck on knuckle and prefers it more than pacifier
8 weeks - lots of "talking" and interaction
He keeps his fists closed and sucks on them, so they get really stinky. Brayden held the baby for the first time since the hospital when he was 6 weeks old, he is nervous to drop him.
