2 Months...Already???

A few (a very few) of my favorite pictures of my babe:

  At 2 months Asher....

...weighs 14 lb 9 oz,  nearly doubling his birth weight of 8 lb 1 oz and putting him in the 96th percentile.   Everybody comments on what a big 2 month baby I have - and  a big baby he is!

...measures 24 inches,  about 4.5 inches taller than birth making him in the 84th percentile.

....and his head, well that is average at 15.7 inches in the 49th percentile.

Over the last two months I have marveled at the fact that I carried this perfect little guy inside me for 9 months...that every kick or squirm I felt from my stowaway was this adorable little guy.

I feel sadness at how fast he's grown, at the incredible difference in him in only two short months.  I loved the newborn stage, I loved how tiny he was and the way he curled around my body...I loved so many things. 

But while it saddens me that he's growing so fast it's also so very exciting and fun.   I love that he coos more and more.  I love his cute smile, how much he smiles, the dimples that accompany all those smiles and I love trying to find more ways to make him smile.  I love that his legs dangle while he's in my lap and he kicks them about.  

He loves his baths and stares at me the entire time.

He smiles every time I rub his diaper line along his tummy when I change his bum.

He sucks on his fingers, thumb or his entire fist when he's becoming hungry.
He snorts when he is REALLY hungry.

He is so picky about binkies.  He likes one kind one minute and another kind the next.

He makes the cutest little 'oh' sound when he yawns and his mouth makes an 'O', too.  

He's a big eater...as is evidenced above.

He's becoming ticklish, his sides make him squirm the most.
He falls asleep on my chest with his nose smooshed against me and it's adorable.


I can't help but kiss him a thousand times a day.  I love every sigh, yawn, smile and sound that comes out of him and every face he makes.  I LOVE being his mom ;)

And to sorta document how fast he's grown, we tried to show the difference in him since he popped into our lives :)
