Wow, a year has gone by

My friend Melanie has been trying to get me to start posting again.  Finally, I've decided to do it.  The past year has brought a lot of commotion around the Lehman house.  Since I last posted we have gotten married and had another baby!

Our little boy was born on 23 March.  I'm so glad I have a little boy.  I loved Avery so much that I wanted another baby girl just like her.  My little boy rocks!! 

Poor Asher, I have so many of things documented for Avery... I need to start keeping track of things for him! 

Asher is going to be five months old soon.  He weighs nearly 20 pounds, and is so much bigger than Avery ever was!  He is just starting to reach for things and grab them.  Mostly he brings them to his mouth.  To be honest, I am having a hard time not comparing Asher with Avery.  She was so advanced with everything she did, and Asher just isn't.  I worry about him and really want him to be okay.  I am sure he will... but I hate the worrying.

On a positive note, we got a little bit of video last night of him laughing at Avery at the dinner table.  That was fun!  He is starting to sit up a little bit and is sleeping through the night most nights.  I'm still exclusively breastfeeding him, and am going to wait til he's 6 months old to start feeding him solids.  Lord knows I don't need this child to get any bigger than he is.

I feel a connection with Asher that I don't remember having with Avery.  I don't love him any more, but it's a lot different.  I feel like he's more LIKE I am.  He seems easily agitated, but once he is settled he is very content.  I think he looks a bit more like me than Avery does (not hard, since Avery is a Jamie-clone). 

I am having a hard time with Asher in daycare.  I don't feel as badly about Avery as I used to, because now she is in a place and is learning and playing with other kids.  Jamie got me a little digital frame that flashes pictures up every 30 seconds and I spend all day looking at the both of them and can't believe how blessed I've become.

There's a whole bunch of things that have gone on over the past year.  It would take me all day to write them down.  But, I expect if  I continue to keep writing it'll all come out eventually
