Words Cant describe how much i love this little boy.

Parenting is hard, So very hard. But so so so worth it. As i sit here and type this I am watching my little boy grow up before my eyes. Im listening to his little cooeing his big gummy smile and his legs and arms flailing in the air. he truly is the biggest blessing in my life. I honestly couldnt imagine my life without him. He continues to amaze me every single day and my love for him grows bigger and bigger. Cant get enough of him!

We got this cute boys one month stats today. He is healthy and strong. We sure do love this little one!

Weight: 9 lbs 2oz which puts him in the 25th percentile 
Height: 20 1/2 inches long, kind of a short kid hasn't grown length wise since we brought him home from the hospital but this puts him in the 15th percentile

Bath time

We are starting to get a better understanding of this whole parenting thing. Who knew it would be so hard, and time consuming, okay okay I knew it would be time consuming just not so hard. We have been good at getting a good bedtime routine going. It took us a while but it works and so we stick to it faithfully every night. We start with feeding him, then getting things ready for bath time while one of us burps him. When the bath is ready we bathe him lotion him down and put his pjs on. By the way he is really starting to love bath time. We then swaddle him tight in a swaddle blanket feed him some more so he sleeps longer (by the way he is sleeping four and a half hours a night before waking up to eat and we love it!!)  and rock him to sleep. Works every time and we love it. The only problem is that he hates his crib, bassinet, anything thats not snuggling up to one of us which sometimes makes for a really long night. So if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this problem we are about willing to try anything. But we sure love this little boy and cant believe how much he has grown.
Here are some pictures of bath time.

Meeting the Bryce Family

Asher got to meet his Ama, Agong, and  Geoma's  ( not the real way to spell it, but I don't know Taiwanese Ping ying yet and so I'm spelling it the way you would say it in English ) this last week. They were here for about a week, and we loved having them here. This is the first grand baby for the Bryce side of the family, my family's 17th grand baby. So he was pretty spoiled this last week. Benj and I didn't really get to hold him a whole lot while they were here because they we all in awe of how cute he is. ( i have to agree). I was a little sad about not holding him a whole lot this last week but also grateful for all of the help we received while they were here. I even got to sleep in the same bed as Benj for more than a couple of hours at a time. It was really fun to have Benj's family here we miss them already and love when they come to visit! Here is a couple of photos of them while they were here. We also blessed Asher this last weekend so there will be a post about his one month stats and blessing picture to come soon....hopefully!
 Asher often sleeps like this no matter how much we try and straighten his body out
