So Asher, despite my wishes and best effort, went ahead and turned 6 months old last week. We took him in for his wellness check and were surprised to find out that he is not gaining weight as fast as he did at 4 months… he's not losing weight, but has dropped from the 76% to the 50%. We were assured that this is normal since he is becoming much more active and burning off those calories. But comparing Max and Asher at this point, they are the EXACT same length, but Max weighed 4 lbs more. But we have started solids (as you will see) so hopefully we can get some of those calories back. Asher is happy for the most part, but we are having difficulty getting him to sleep longer than 2 hours at a time at night. At 4 months he started waking up more frequently to nurse, which is normal, but it has not let up! He wakes up to nurse 6-7 times per night. It makes for long nights for us and tedious days for mommy. We had a couple of really bad nights last week as Asher ran a slight fever from his vaccinations. Not really high, but enough to make him uncomfortable and fussy. I am hopeful that the addition of solids before bed will help fill him up a little better and help get us some additional sleep.
Deja Cute! This is one of Max's old outfits. It is easier for me to see differences between them in pictures since Asher is thinner in the face.
Last day of Montessori. They had a water slide and then sat down for one last story together.
They were told to hug their friends good-bye. Max went straight for Eli the one kid we see almost daily!
We are going to miss WAMS. Miss Marie and Miss Emily were so good with Max and all of the kiddos. Max will be starting at Waco Montessori in the fall.
6 month photo shoot! This stickers are getting harder and harder to keep on his shirt!

He is getting close to sitting up now. I'm afraid Asher will be mobile… soon. I'm in trouble!
Sic 'em bears!
Oh dear… baby with a sword. Watch out daddy!
This is where Asher prefers to sleep… ALL NIGHT. We put him in the crib as often as we can, but with him waking so often to feed this is the only way I get any sleep too.
First oatmeal. I remembered a few things when we started solids with Asher. Like why we bathed Max every night and why I would bring 3 or 4 spoons to each feeding.
Checking out Max's toys while he is sleeping. Baby toys are for babies. Asher doesn't think he is a baby.
