- Asher, you've definitely found your voice. The sound and volume that comes from your little body and mouth is rather remarkable when you are complaining or angry. (Which honestly is not that often, you're a good boy). And yes, there's noticeable difference in your crying between complaining and madness. It's also a big production when you are going potty; the grunting and arm pumping makes us laugh.
- Chewing and sucking on fist like crazy.
- You and mommy are on different pages sometimes when it comes to changing your diaper. One day we were on different planet: you went potty-so much that it was all over your PJ's, I start to change you, I grab a wipe, you pee on me, I get the dirty diaper off and your go again on your table, I get the diaper on, and guess what you did? go potty. It went on like this for most of the day. Phew.
- Your super excited giggle is something like and inverted laugh, you suck air in and use your voice at the same time, several (inward) gasps in a row. :-)
- You've noticed the toys hanging from your bouncer.
- You LOVE being in the Maya sling. And often will fall asleep in it.
- You discovered your tongue. You twist it, chew it, and stick it out. You have also started to drool more.
What we've learned about you so far:

Highlights from your 13th week of life (1.9.11 - 1.15.11)
Wow... on Sunday (1.16.11) you'll be a WHOLE 14 weeks buddy! Man we love you SO much, it's truly indescribable Baby Bluvo.
- You aren't shy. You smile and coo at strangers. When we were shopping at Target an (mommy) employee stopped to talk and coo at you and you just smiled and cooed right back.
- You laugh to "happy" classical music. - unprompted. (mommy lays you on the living room floor and you look out the window and at our Christmas tree -yes it's still up, oops- and you just coo and squeal and "giggle")
- You like the mornings, and are quite happy. You sometimes just lay in your bed and talk and squeak contentedly while waiting for mommy to come get you. You don't even demand to be fed right away, you easily wait 20-30 minutes before making sure we know you're hungry.
Here are some pictures from this week:
Highlights from your 13th week of life (1.9.11 - 1.15.11)
- Several times you've grabbed the little blankie/burp cloth we lay on top of your feet with both hands and bring it to your mouth. Your hands are actually making rather coordinated movements. All of your movements are more deliberate than they used to be, from kicking, to batting, to sucking.
- You enjoy hitting the toys hanging in front of you in your bouncer. And then carefully study them.
- Your head is very steady now when you're upright.
- You found your hands, they are often clasped together or you're rubbing fists and fingers together. You like to hold them just below your chin. They are often in your mouth. Mmmmm, yum, yum! (apparently).
- You like to watch things that move, mobiles, people, TV, etc. We find it incredible that no matter what position we put you in you soon find a way to get the TV into your line of sight. And (this is bad) when you were crying one time, Mommy couldn't get you to stop, so turned the TV on and what do you think happened?... You stopped, right away. (Mommy is rolling her eyes right now).
- For about 3 days early this week you had quite the fussy spell. I mean it was all out screaming (once to the point of losing your poor little voice!), it made mommy and daddy feel baffled, and sad. But you've gotten better- except you remember that when you do cry that you have found this "nice" loud voice of yours, and use it.
- Sometimes when you smile when we're talking to you you get so happy and excited that you put your head down (kinda like you're being shy) and then look back up at us with your little eyes sparkling and a big toothless grin. -We melt.
- During tummy time I laid you one direction and about 10 minutes later you had scooted your little tiny self all the way around to the opposite direction. Oh dear, mommy hopes this doesn't mean you'll be an early crawler! (In the picture below, I started you straight up and down-head towards camera and you turned yourself the other direction, head away from camera).
- The past two weeks it's been harder to catch your smiles on camera- it's like you know we're trying to take a picture or something and stop smiling and just stare. (or it could be that the camera is bright orange...and you're fascinated by it).
- You basically asked to be put to bed earlier this week. So we've moved your bedtime to about 8:30 or 8:45pm and you sleep soundly until anywhere between 7:30-9am. And you take two solid naps during the day too!
- This week you turned 3 months old. (mommy will post your three month pictures soon).
- You sat completely amused and awe-struck for like 20+ minutes while daddy played the guitar and sang. And when he started to play Dave Matthews songs you got all excited and laughed. (When you were inside whenever you heard DMB songs you would ALWAYS start kicking and fluttering around). So crazy. You must really like the beat or his songs or something. He also gave you your first guitar leasson, going through the strings and different chords. You were taking it all in. Sometimes it's like we can see the little gears in your brain turning at full speed!
