Asher 1 Month Old!

At one Month, Asher:
- weighs about 9.5 lbs.
- is breast and formula fed. At 2 weeks his pediatrician had us start supplementing 2-4 oz of formula a day because he wasn't gaining enough weight. Now, he's about half and half (and much happier since he's getting enough to eat).
- sleeps 5-6 (or more) hour stretches at night.
- sleeps on his tummy. At about 3 weeks, we gave up trying to make him sleep on his back because no one was getting any sleep. As soon as we did, he started sleeping at night. :)
- has found a routine (for a while anyway). He wakes up, eats, plays for a couple hours, eats, sleeps for about 4 hours, and then repeats throughout the day.
- cries the least of all three kids. He only cries when he's hungry or over tired. Both of which we are usually able to "fix" quickly. He's a very quiet and laid back baby (knock on wood, that he stays this way).
- is a very clean eater. He hardly drips anything even when drinking a bottle, and he rarely spits up.
- likes to look at lights, high contrast colors, and faces. He will focus on something and stare at it for several minutes sometimes.
- will turn his head toward Mommy, Daddy, Lukas, or Corina when speaking near him.
- loves his Mommy, Daddy, Brother, and Sister more and more every day!

Our fantastic family of FIVE!
