8 weeks

-A very happy baby, loves any attention he gets, very smiley
-Is a real talker, anytime you talk to him he smiles and babbles back
-Still likes his paci, baths, sister and being naked
-likes being swaddled and sleeps great at night (7-8 hour stretch)
-Starting to wear 6 month clothes, yikes! and size 2 diapers
-He's a grunter and spits up constantly
-Doesn't like laying against your chest which makes it difficult to snuggle:(  prefers to be facing out when held

Colbie loves her brother, recently she told me "Mom, Ashton's my best friend."

We often find Ashton "playing" with a baby or stuffed animal thanks to Colbie

Sibling toes

chubby cheeks, he may outweigh his sister very soon

Smiles

The joy of smiling has arrived!  Ashton started smiling at 5 weeks.  His smile continues to grow and be more expressive each week.
