I just wanted to send a shout out to the Boppy "Bounce in Comfort" chair. You're a fantastic chair and I love you! Caleb likes to sleep in you, and I like it when Caleb sleeps. I know you can't solve all our sleeping woes, but thanks for your help the last few nights. Keep up the good work!
Asher and Caleb in the little play gym. All these baby toys that Asher hasn't liked for months, but now he has to check them out again! It's funny to me.
Sleeping Caleb. Why, oh why, can't you do that at night?! I haven't taken very many pictures lately. I am still trying to figure out the basics of having two tiny children. More to come later. Thanks everyone for all your help!
Just a few fun things Asher has been up to. Here he is at the Children's Museum with Justin. As he picked up this chicken it started clucking and scared him really bad. Justin said it was pretty funny.
Asher giving some strawberry milk to the bear. What a nice kid. It doesn't matter that he is pouring it up his nose, at least he was sharing.
Asher loves books! We put a pile of them on a stool outside his crib so that in the morning he can reach out and get them if he wants to. This is what we find pretty much every morning!!
Well, I don't have time for my deepest thoughts on the last few weeks. In fact, I should be sleeping, eating or cleaning while "Little" and "Littlest" are napping, but the fact that I am adding pictures just shows how much I love you Grandmas, Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles and Great Aunts! This was taken a few days before Caleb was born. Isn't Asher handsome? It's already hard to remember life without Caleb, but very easy to remember (and long for..) the days of sleeping though the whole night ;)
I have a thing for squeezing little baby cheeks... Thanks, Caleb, for still loving your mom even though I do things like this to you. 
And I laugh really hard at the funny faces that he pulls on his own.
Caleb is starting to have awake time now, rather than sleeping 23.5 hours a day. It's just too bad that it's at 2 o'clock in the morning! But we do like to see his eyes.
It's been so busy and Justin and I are so tired that it's kind of funny what things get thrown out the window. Asher wanted to go outside but wasn't dressed because he had just had a messy diaper that leaked all over (fabulous...). Justin and I looked at each other and he asked "Do you care?" "Nope." At least we put shoes on him, right?
Asher's little world has changed, but he is dealing with everything beautifully! He is so sweet and kind to little brother and has fun giving kisses, helping with his binky, and pointing to everyone in our little family and saying our names, "Dada, Mama, Ashy and Bebe Bruh-der"
My boys! It's funny because Justin and I find ourselves saying "He" but not knowing anymore which one we are talking about.
Asher giving Caleb some love.
It was a busy week for our family and Asher handled it well, but he did get bored at the hospital. He entertained himself with the stroller, the cabinets, a golf ball, and the receptionist outside my room (she really liked him).
Asher never took a binky, but as soon as Caleb had one Asher needed one too! It only lasted about two days before he didn't care again but it was entertaining!
Asher is still as happy as ever, and so smart! We are always impressed with him and so happy we get to be his parents!
Well, he made it! Caleb Spencer was born at 8:51 am, weighing 7 lbs and 19 in long. We're so grateful that it worked out the way it did, everything went amazingly smooth. Abby's water broke at around 4:30 this morning, we got to the hospital around 6:00 (with, admittedly, a bit of speeding on my part...but I kept it below 90....), and by 9:00 we had a beautiful little boy. Abby is feeling awesome (especially compared to the last delivery) and Caleb is as well. 10 fingers, 10 toes, healthy and doing great. Asher is taken well, for the most part, to little bro. He seemed a little unsure at first, but I think the whole situation was contributing to that. He would want Mama and then keep his distance when he saw this little person invading his space. When we went back to the hospital after his nap he seemed to warm up pretty well, pointing and saying "bruh-ter" and even giving little kisses. And he only had to be reminded to be "soft" a few times. Anyway, not much more to the narrative than that, so let's get to the pictures, shall we?
We went on a little outing to Park City to get Asher some new shoes at the Stride Rite Outlet (He has thick feet and normal shoes just don't cut it...). So, we had his little feet fitted and then started looking at all the shoes and every time Justin opened another shoe box Asher would say "Ooooh! Ashy's shoes!" He loved them all and gets really excited to put on his shoes now.
These are Asher's new shoes. They look really big to me because he has been wearing sandals all summer, but he likes them. Sorry it's kind of an action shot, my little ball of energy wouldn't hold still this morning.
Well, they just opened a Red Robin down the road from us and since I can't think of much these days that's better than having someone else cook for me and clean up the mess afterwards while I sit in the air conditioned room, we decided to go there the other night. It was a real treat! Asher did great and eat all his pasta and melon slices, and I got to spend time with my family. 
He was so excited when he finally made it to our table. This is Asher giving "Red" a high five. The hard part was every time he left Asher would start to cry and say "please, please, tropical bird, please." Good thing he came around the restaurant about 4 times! 
Asher giving him a hug! So funny! He wasn't scared or anything. While I was watching him get so excited about this big funny bird with a massive head I kept thinking that he is going to love Disneyland with all their big funny characters... unlike his mom with the unfortunate Captain Hook incident of 1991. Anyway, Thanks Red, for making my son so happy.
Asher even got to sit in a booster seat at the table. What a big boy. No more highchairs for him! P.S. Asher is 16 months old today!!
