Sweet Baby Boy!

One Month Check-Up

Asher and I visited his pediatrician today for his one month check-up. He has officially hit the 10 pound mark. To be exact, he is 10# 1 oz and is 22 inches long. I've heard that 10 pounds is the magic number for when they will start sleeping through the night. I'd like to challenge that theory unless I'm getting up at 2 a.m. for nothing.

Set for the great outdoors....my hat, pacifier, and recliner.

Funny, the books never mentioned the nose as a source of nipple confusion.

Asher is taking a nap with his dad. They both require their beauty sleep!

Asher loves his hat. Can't you tell? Thanks Miss Yvette!

An Andy Christmas

We spent Christmas this year in Andalusia with all the grandparents and family. Bob and I greatly appreciated the grandparents because that gave us a few moments to ourselves. Asher was introduced to many of our friends while at home. One night at Miss Ginny's house he got to visit with all the other kids. Asher is too little to visit long, but he is looking forward to many more visits with his friends. The picture shows them posing for the camera while taking a break from telling each other stories of their childhood! From left to right is Asher Bentley, Grover Wells, William Grimes, Caroline Reeves, Bennett Hunt, Sawyer Hardy, and John Parker Hardy.

Update on Asher...

So, we went for our 2 week check-up yesterday and Asher now weighs in at 7# 15 oz. and is 21 inches long. I think that he had no room to grow in his mommy so now he's making up for it. Asher said to tell everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I guess you didn't know he's already talking too!

Edward Asher Bentley Arrives

Asher finally made his arrival on December 3 at 3:13 pm. He was a little fellow weighing in at only 6 lbs 14 oz. and 20 inches long. He's only been here a week, but he already has his mom and dad wrapped around his tiny fingers. We went for his one week check-up today and he is growing like a weed. Today he weighs in at 7 lbs 5 oz. and is 20 1/4 inches long.
