4 months

Thinking back through the last month, so much has changed with Asher. At the beginning of the month his head still wobbled, he would not lift his head during tummy time (he actually fussed), he smiled sometimes, didn't care much for the car seat, he just kinda sat in his jumper and bed time was a nightmare!

Now, he holds his head up 97% of the time (except when he is tired, then he gets lazy), he holds his head up and pushes up during tummy time, smiles all the time, he is great in the car and even falls asleep on longer excursions, he actually jumps in his jumper and plays with the attached toys and our nighttime routine has gotten substantially better.

Asher has really found his voice and talks to his toys (blue bird on the car seat has really kept him entertained in the car). Likewise he has also learned to use his voice when he wants our attention. He has developed this high pitched squeal that will continue if we don't give him attention. He is constantly drooling, blowing bubbles and imitating our "raspberry" noises.
