Sissy is getting married on Saturday. 
Eliza was an exceptional dancer in her youth. I always looked up to her in her sparkly and shiny costumes with a face full of make up and fake eye lashes. She knew how to turn it on when she hit the stage. I attended almost every dance competition she was in and loved watching her take home the SUPER 1st or Platinum trophy. I wasn't gifted with dancing feet like she was. I remember how proud I used to be as her sister. 
I love you and will always be there right by your side as your one and only big sister!
"Back to Sleep Program" Development
Asher has been rolling from stomach to back since he was 3 weeks old. We are hoping he will find his way back (back to stomach) in the coming weeks. He wants to sit up so badly. He is constantly doing a mini ab crunch in hopes to pull forward but his fat rolls tend to get in the way. Once he is sitting he can almost do it without help depending upon the surface he is sitting on. Again he will be sitting in the next few weeks on his own. We really think once he can sit up with strength he is going to be the happiest baby ever. He knows his feet exist but he can't reach them because his arms are too short and he is too chunky! He loves to play with his hands, pull them to his center and eat, slobber, suck and chew on them. Asher loves to suck on his lips. He tucks his bottom top under his bottom lip and it is hysterical. He also sucks on his lips in a wave like pattern. He is following our voices and our movement much closer. He likes to stare at Bella as she moves around him. He love to hold onto everything anything and then put it into his mouth. He is getting a little heavy for his swing. He is re-learning to enjoy tummy time.
Sleep
He is still sleeping a TON! Usually 10-15 hours a night. He usually goes down at 7:30 and wakes up at 6 and then goes right back down after eating and getting his diaper changed for at least another 2-4 hours. He takes cat naps 2-3 times a day lasting usually no more than an hour. He still loves bath time and as soon as he is sitting on his own will transition from the sink tub to the bath tub (he is getting too big for the sink tub!). This is how he relaxes for bed. We still do not put any lotions on him what so ever and he has perfect skin!
Stomach
Asher still seems to struggle in the stomach reflux department. I tried to incorporate dairy back into my diet and I dont think it went so well. We can't tell if he outgrew his medicine (by weight) or if it was the dairy so we will give it a try again in a few weeks. He is now taking 2 mL of Axid twice a day vs the 1 mL he was taking before. He seems a lot more relaxed and comfortable. Asher seems to be developing just like I did. He is very stiff and rigid, arches his back all of the time and is very chunky. All mommy.
Disposition
He is very happy. He laughs out loud all of the time and talks up a storm particularly after he nurses. He is very vocal. Everyone is trying to brainwash him to say their name but he is smarter than that. He knows his first word will be "ma" :)
Bottles
We finally figured out why he kept resisting the bottle. It wasn't warm enough. Because he is exclusively taking breast milk and breast feeding as often as possible he was used to it straight out of the tap (which is warm/body temperature). Even the bottle at room temperature to him was COLD and he would flip. Now that we warm them up he downs the bottle and it makes for a much more pleasurable eating experience for all! Let me tell you how much I hated hearing him scream. Over the past month he has had a sleepover at his Softa's and his daddy put him down with a bottle while mommy had a night time meeting.
We feel so very blessed to have Asher in our lives. Just the other day Philip said he never realized he could fall in love with someone so quickly...after all it took him over a year to fall in love with me...
