Happy Mother's Day!

This is a special Mother's Day.  Nam surprised me with a very sweet gift from Asher and him. It was a charm to add to the necklace he gave me when we first started dating 7 years ago. Little silver baby booties are now part of my necklace as well.  I think it's great that my necklace has started to tell a story about the most important boys in my life :)


Not only is it special because it is my very first Mother's Day, but I also get to spend it with my mom here in San Antonio.  And to get to spend it with her after the amazing help she's been over the past 3 weeks has made this day even more special.  Mom and Dad came to visit on April 19th. Dad got to stay a week and spend lots of time with Asher sleeping on his chest.  Mom has been able to stay longer to help me figure out what in the world I am doing with this new little life, and she's gotten to be the recipient of many of Asher's new smiles and coos.  He likes to tell her lots of stories during his happy/content moments after eating.  He also spends lots of hours snuggling in her arms.

Nana spent a TON of time in this rocking chair holding Asher

We caught Grampy and Asher in the same sleeping position :) Thanks to Aunt Marnie for the awesome Moses Basket Asher is sleeping in!!


He LOVES to mimic smiles now...especially after diaper changes and eating



Nam and I are loving seeing all the ways Asher is changing everyday.  I know Nam wishes he had more time to spend with him. One of the best times of the day are when Nam gets home from his graveyard shift and I've just finished feeding Asher. This is definitely Asher's favorite and happiest time of the day, and he usually has lots of smiles and sounds to make at Daddy :)

"Daddy, wake up! I want to coo at you!"  :)

Nam is especially good at the football hold


Asher loves tummy time and is starting to hold his own head up better than before, though I still get head butted a lot. It's great to see him developing and growing so well.  This Tuesday will be his 6 week birthday!!!
