7 months 10-29-12

* I wrote this a while ago- forgot to publish opps!*

Ascher
7 months old
October 29, 2012


Ascher's Stats 
Weight: 17lbs 4 ounces
Height: ? (didn't go to doc this month)
Head: ?

Clothing size: 6-9, 9 months

Diaper Size: 3- Pampers Swaddlers

Eats: This month not much has changed. It was pretty much the same as last month. He nurses in the morning and at night. Has a 5-6 ounce bottle every 3 hours and eats fruit in morning and veggie at night. Some days he will even eat an extra fruit/veggie mid day- depends on how hungry he is. 

Sleeping patterns: Doing great on his night time routine. Asleep by 8:30 at the latest and stays asleep till 7:45 on a good day (sometimes awake at 4:30 sometimes 6:30) but most days sleeps till about 7:45. I love that he sleeps in his crib, all night. It pains me a little to think how big he is and that he doesn't need those extra cuddles through the night but at the same time I love having our bed back! I do still put him to sleep cuddling and then move him to his crib. :)  I tell Justin one day all too soon he won't want to cuddle with his mama so I have to get all my cuddles in while I can!  



Favorites: 
*chewing on everything
*going on walks
*Sophie the Giraffe & keys that make noise like car starting- he gets so happy when he makes the noise go off all by himself
*jumping like a jumping bean- even if he isn't in his exersaucer he is jumping on your legs. He LOVES IT!

*textures
*baths
*his dog lovie with his name on it
*the Baby Einstein puppets- he smiles so big when they come on the screen. like will be crying- see a puppet and smile
*Eating food (so much better than when we first introduced food) Now he likes to hold the spoon- which causes a mess sometimes- he opens his mouth so big and chomps down on the spoon- adorable!

*His blue Baby Einstein octopus- chews on it, pulls on it, laughs at it & his Baby Einstein turtle that you push and different songs come on
*our cell phones- will find them regardless of where you hide them
*still loves pulling hair much to my dismay
*Pip, the puppy. Pip comes into the room and Ascher stops what he is doing and follows him. Will roll to him and pet him loves his kisses (a little too much) 
Dislikes:
*green beans & peas
*burping in the middle of bottle
*going to sleep (fights it)
*changing his clothes (long sleeves are the worst)
*getting new diapers- he flexes his legs and makes it such a pain to put the diaper on
*loud unexpected noises (garage door, trash man, weed eater) he clings to you when it happens. Its sweet.

New:
SIGNS MILK! 
This was big for us this month. Now he signs it non-stop. Justin and I always say you want milk? and sign it. now when you do it he signs it back to you! : ) 
Scoots all over- not up on all fours but is moving everywhere

Happy Halloween

So Wednesday all day Ascher and I were in a funk. I felt like crap and I could tell Ascher didn't feel too hot either. However, we were determined to make his first Halloween fun! Justin got home and we went over to the Cokers (Justins sister) to eat hot dogs & trick or treat with the kids! I took some advil and I felt tons better so we ended up enjoying our night with our little lion!! It was a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun! I love watching the excitement--all over some candy!

Daddy Lion & Baby Lion 
He wasn't too happy so we couldn't get any without his paci
Eric & Sid stayed at the house and passed out glow sticks (smart huh?)
Ella, my niece in front of scary house
Posing : )
Taylor found a cat. She carried it almost all the way home before someone took it and said they would find the owners. We thought for sure Taylor was gonna wind up with another cat. : ) She kept saying, "we aren't keeping it" we decided she was more so telling herself that than anyone else. ; )
When we got back to the house I helped Ella sort and count her candy. I love watching little brains crave knowledge! She wanted to count and sort. It was so cute. Granted once she hit a certain number 90 was the next number always...haha! Gotta love kindergarten! 
Ascher not so sure about whats happening
not a fan once the lion hat is back on  
what mom?
Love his sweet little smile
