Smiling and cooing!

Yesterday I swear Ashton smiled twice and cooed too! Of course I wasn't able to catch it on camera, but once we do I promise to post pictures! It was so cute! We were playing our jumping game... he always pushes on our stomachs so when he does that we make him jump! We have to build up those nice strong Tomate/Besmer gene legs which right now are quite twiggy. Anyways, when we were jumping he started out with a little smirk which turned into a smile! Promise! And then he cooed!

Grandma's here!

Yeah! Grandma is here to help! She took his 5am fussiness this morning! Yeah me! I think Ashton has gas! We have resulted to using Mylicon drops. Not sure if it's really working or if he is just (gasp) colicky! He is sitting here with me in the Baby Bjorn! He cries every time we try to put him down. So if anyone has any suggestions... I'd love to hear them! Swaddling will get him down, but doesn't keep him asleep for very long. He will be peaceful, then all of sudden cry out loud, and start kicking his legs... which wakes him up!

Looks like he's smiling!
Getting some vitamin D! Plus we gave him vitamins for the 1st time yesterday! I think half of it ended up on him or me though!

Doctor's appointment

Hi guys!
Thanks for the outfit AV!
He's like a little man already
Tummy time.

We had our 2nd doctor's appointment today and Ashton weighs in at a hefty 7 pounds, 6 ounces and measures a lengthy 20 1/4 inches. That's a weight gain of 1 pound, 2 ounces and growth of 1 1/2 inches in just 12 days! I knew he was getting bigger just by how his clothes are fitting. His little legs actually almost fit to the bottom of the footsies now! He was so alert this morning and performed nicely for our doctor.

Tummy time!

Ashton is such a strong little boy! He worked so hard to look at his Mommy! Face plant...
Almost there...


Hi Mommy! He made it!
