FoUr MoNtHs!

I think I say this every month but I cannot believe how fast Asher is growing up! He turned four months old last Monday (so I'm a little late, but it was a busy week last week)! He is getting so big and started to act more like an infant, than a new baby. He had his doctor's appointment on Wednesday the 23rd and his doctor said that everything is going about the same, however he did say that he thought it would be a good idea if we took him down to Primary's to have some genetic testing done to see if he may have some sort of a syndrome since he has multiple things that are wrong (i.e. his heart condition, the mole on his foot, the hemangioma on his back, and the fact that his testicles still haven't descended.) He said if he does have one, maybe we can find out more about what others have done and what we can expect later. He also said that if he does that we might also be able to find the probability of other children we may have, having the same thing. But now on to the fun news, his stats: Weight 12lbs 11oz, and Height 24 1/2 inches.

All ready for church. He looks so cute and grown up!

So innocent.

Taken on December 21st. (I LOVE the jeans!)

Updates!

I forgot to put this in his 3 month post so I thought I'd better write it down before I forget.

• At three months he weighed 11 lbs even and was 23 1/2 inches long!
• He is really good at holding up his head, he thinks he pretty hott stuff when he does it
• Last week he was sleeping for 9 - 10 hours straight at night! (Not so much this week!)
• He is getting to be quite the talker, and my favorite is every so often he will really concentrate before he "talks"

He is getting to be such a big boy. It amazes me how fast he is growing, and that every day he gets a little bigger, and a little older acting.

So Cute!

Playing video games with Daddy!

Thanksgiving

I am late in posting this, but oh well. This year we had Thanksgiving at Jason's parents' house. We would have normally had it at grandma and grandpa Jorgenson's house, but they were in Boise, so Jason's mom took over and did an amazing job. It was fun to be with family and see everyone and of course eating the wonderful food.

I love Asher's Face in this one!

Such a cheesey smile!

Rockin' the Mohawk!

My Big Boy!

Saturday Asher turned three months! I can't believe how big my baby is getting. He is growing so much every day. He now smiles a lot at people (not just his imaginary friend), he is really good at holding up his head, he is very alert and loves to coo and tell stories, and he takes after his dad and is in love with watching TV. He will watch for it forever, espesically if it is football. I love my little boy and how big he is getting, I just wish he would do it slower! Some recent pictures of the boy himself.

Jason and Asher taking a nap one Saturday.

Asher was crying so Oso layed by him to keep him company. Such a good big brother!

Sleeping while he should be getting his diaper changed.

Playing with mom on the computer, (or just taking a nap). I must have been really concentrating on something.

My handsome boys doing their favorite pass-time, watching TV. (Notice the simlar profile!)

I had to take a picture in his new jacket. So grown up!

Taken yesterday. Notice the cute little mohawk!

Asher's Friend

Asher has an imaginary friend!!! At least that's what I'm telling myself. Because it's either that or our house is hunted, or he just likes looking at a blank wall without even any pictures on it and smiling and laughing. Anyways this is the best video I've gotten. Sometimes he is full on laughing and it started out only in his room, when you were changing his diaper, and it was always the exact same spot that he would stare at, now he will occasionally do it in other rooms but he never giggles as hard as he does staring at his spot in his room. I love this boy!

Salmon '09

This year for our annual trip to Salmon, me and Jason were only able to go up for one night, and we didn't even take up our trailer, we stayed the night in a motel at North Fork. Even though we weren't there long we still had lots of fun. We got to see the kids' costumes for Halloween and they all went trick-or-treating to the camper's around us (except Asher, he was too grumpy and it was pretty cold at that point.) Hopefully next year we will be able to got up for longer, and Asher will be able to be outside playing more. All in all it was a short but fun trip!

Family picture!

Our hotel. Does it remind you of anything....Maybe the hotel from Vacancy?! I'm just glad that Jason didn't point it out to me until after we were checked out.

Very tired from playing with the black lab he found up there.

Shanyce sleeping on the diaper bag on the floor under the carseat. Silly girl.

Are we home yet?

Halloween Party!

On Friday night Jason's parents had a Halloween party. We had a delicious dinner then played a doughnut eating game, and visited. We had lots of fun! Then Saturday our brother-in-law Billy got Baptised. It was such a wonderful experience to be a part of, and Billy looked so proud afterwards. Congrats again Billy!!
