Asa- 21 weeks!
Can't believe my baby is already 21 weeks old! When he was 20 weeks i put together this little before/after picture. Life is such a miracle! I'm very proud to be pro-life! You can't argue that Asa was not a human before he was born! He is such a content and sweet baby- by far my snuggliest! I am so thankful to be his mama!!!
Awana awards
All year long Havana has been going to her Awana Cubbies class. Over the year she has memorized 20 Bible verses! last week they had a little awards ceremony where she got to stand on the big stage and sing a song. She was thrilled to be able to do this and I was very excited to watch her. I am so proud of my little girl!

I'm Elvis
Tonight I heard Jonah struggling with something in his room after bedtime. I walked in to see what was wrong and he was struggling to put socks on his hands. I asked him if he was playing sock puppets, he said, "no, I'm Elvis and I'm cooking."
He was pretending to be a firefighter Elvis who is on one of his shows. He said, "and I'm singing the seeing red song."
That boy has such an imagination. He plays by himself all the time and is constantly in his own world. He loves pretending he is a firefighter and putting out fires, he pretends to be David and Goliath, he is always pretending. He even has an imaginary friend that he talks about and includes in our family functions.
Fun boy!

Be Careful Little Eyes What You See..
Our children know the song, "Be Careful Little Eyes What You See..." The different lyrics are:
be careful little eyes what you see.
be careful little ears what you hear.
be careful little hands what you do.
be careful little feet where you go.
be careful little mouth what you say.
Tonight, Jonah was singing this in his bed as he was going to sleep... and then he added the verse,
be careful little arms what you draw.
He sang it passionately and intently and it melted my heart.

Doctor Visits
Today Asa had his 4 month well check and Jonah had his three year check-up. It was fun to take both of my boys. Jonah was exceptional as he waited for the doctor. He enjoyed chatting with her and showing off how he can kick the ball and take off his own pants. He is such an easy going little boy. Asa was his content little self waiting to be seen.
Jonah was 37.25 inches (35%) and his weight was 35 pounds (80%). They said his BMI was 90% ... my little big guy. The doctor asked him who his friends were and he said, "My friends are... David and Goliath." This made our doctor laugh really hard. He was such a brave boy and didn't even cry during his finger prick.
Asa, was 25 inches (32%) and only weighed 13 pounds, 12 ounces (12%). I have never, ever had such a tiny baby. He is soooo little. Jonah was wearing 6 month clothing at 6 weeks and here Asa is at 4 months still in 3 month clothing. My doctor suggested that I give him formula bottles after I nurse him in order to see if he is getting enough. I did that the rest of the day and he drank an addition 9 ounces! Poor boy - what if I have been starving him this whole time?!
He has struggled to sleep through the night. I've never had a baby go this long without learning how to sleep. A few weeks ago we stopped swaddling him.... and then it was a rough few nights because he didn't even know how to go to sleep without being all wrapped up. We resorted to the Dugger Bootcamp where he had to cry it out. It took several days, but the last two days he has been able to fall asleep for nap and bed on his own. Two nights ago we started giving him formula at night in hopes that he would last longer - it worked - he has now been sleeping until about 5. I hope that lasts and then extends.
After the check up, they gave Jonah a free ice cream cone coupon. I figured we would use it later, but on the drive home Jonah asked, "Are we going home?" "Yes." "Wait! We forgot to get our ice creams!"
I figured why not and I took my boys to Dairy Queen. We sat outside and at ice cream (at 11:30am) and talked about being brave, strong, men. Jonah would interrupt to tell me that his ice cream was "tasty" and "delicious"
I had left my phone at home - which is a bummer because I would have loved to have taken pictures of the entire thing. But, this blog post will have to snap a word picture. I hope I always remember this sweet morning I spent with my boy. I am so incredibly blessed!

Huggles
Today Jonah invented a new word- Huggles- a cross between hug and snuggles. He wanted me to give him "Huggles". I know I should correct him and have him say words correctly, but when they are that sweet I just can't! Huggles for the Duggers! :)

The regular dragon
Last night there was a fly in our house. Havana is her mother's daughter and does not like bugs. She immediately gets nervous and says, "there is a bee in here." I told her that it was a fly- not a bee. Jonah then calls it a dragon fly making Havana all the more squeamish! I kept saying, "it isn't a dragon fly- it is a regular fly."
Today, Jonah kept asking me where the regular dragon was. I had no idea what he was taking about until he kept asking if he was inside or outside. I realized he was talking about the regular fly, but kept saying regular dragon.

Dear Asa
Dear Asa,
This evening I put you down on your back in the playroom. For a little while now you have been rolling to your side, but nothing regular or forceful. Anyway, I walked out of the room to tend to Selah for a little bit and after a few minutes you began to fuss. I finally head to get you and you were all the way on your stomach! Tonight was your first complete turn!!! I was so proud of you! It is funny how such a little milestone can send me into cheering hysterics! But I do love lavishing you with my praise! I am so proud of you, Asa Dude!
Love,
Mama
