five months old

Asher, you are 5 months old today!

I know I say this every month, but I really can't believe it's been 5 months since you were born.  My life is completely different than it was before you were here and I couldn't be happier!

Our first few weeks together were a little rough....lots of crying, lots of pooing, not much smiling.  But these past couple months have been such a joy!  You smile all the time, love to play, and get so excited to see me or Daddy walk in your room.

Asher, you are changing by leaps and bounds.  I love watching you discover new things -- like your hands and feet!  I never knew toes could be so facinating {although yours are particulary adorable!}

Thanks for coming to brighten my world little man.  I promise to 'say yes' as often as I can and make your world a special, happy place.  Next month you'll be a half-year old and we're going to celebrate big time!
