Asher 10 Months!

Asher at 10 months:
- 19lbs 3 oz - He's been so sick (at least we think that's the problem) that he's not gaining weight.  Next week is his next weight check, and if he hasn't gained then we'll start figuring out how to fix it.
- is crawling everywhere.  He's discovered that he can explore the entire house, and he loves it!
- is now pulling up to standing (as of 10-2-12).
- knows and says Mama and Dada (as of 10-1-12).   It clicked when I noticed he only said 'mama' while Eric was at work, and then he said 'dada' one morning when he'd only been with and seen Eric. 
- will babble quite a lot when Lukas and Corina aren't around or if someone is talking to him. 
- drinks 4 6oz bottles a day.  The doctor really wants him to be eating 5 to help gain some weight.
- eats 3 baby food portions a day.  He is still only eating pudding texture purees.   Anything thicker or chunkier than that, he chokes on.  He loves puffs and yogurt melts, but if those are not given slowly he chokes on those also.
- LOVES his brother and sister!!  He thinks they are the funniest people around.
- enjoys music.
- studies everything.  He inspects things very intently so he knows exactly what it's all about.
- received ear tubes 11-9-12.  He's had one ear infection since, but it hardly bothered him.
- has been through his first round of RSV. 
- is now on twice daily Pulmacort for the duration of the winter to combat the bronchiolitis that seems to always be present on x-rays.
- loves his family more and more every day!!!
