Asher started his swimming lessons this week and he loves it! No surprise there but he really enjoyed frolicking in the pool with Matthew and the other babies.
He was even super cool when he got dunked
Just really, really confused
Yeah, I think we’ll go back.

Every year for 3 years in a row I was onsite and out of town for the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair. Last year we were here but I can’t remember why we didn’t go, although moving the week before likely had something to do with it.
This year its June 5-6 and I am planning on going and getting mega excited about all the crap important things I am going to buy.
(future self take note)
I also heard about this NEW craft fair that I’d like to check out. Its in walking distance at the Brooklyn Lyceum which is pretty convenient.
Random note…the guy that designs all their posters designed this awesome print that we have hanging in Asher’s room.
Anyway there are a number of markets that I need to get my behind to when it warms up a bit. One is the Can Factory Market which is also in walking distance and the other is the world famous Brooklyn Flea.
Now I have been to the Flea before. Just once. The VERY VERY VERY first day ever. This is a photo I took of Tim looking forlorn because it was freezing and lame.
How lame exactly?
Pretty lame. Since then it has exploded into indie craft awesomeness and I haven’t even gone back. I know, I know. I’m a little bit stupid like that.
I think I need a craft fair buddy. Matthew has zero interest so it’s hard for me to get motivated. Anybody want to come important thing shopping with me? I’ll buy you a Waffle and Dinge or an papusa from the Red Hook Ball Field Vendors*
*move to NY and you can be in the know.

We went to the pediatrician today and here are the deets:
27 1/2″ long (82%)
17 1/2 lbs (50%)
She said Asher looks fantastic and is doing great. He is tracking the same each month, he is just tall and thin. (how terrible for him). No teeth, no sign of them. Boobs sigh in relief. So does adorable gummy grin.
Is he rolling over?
He can but he doesn’t really bother.
Does he sit up?
Always.
At the doctor today we get him undressed and on the table and he looks very suspicious. As soon as she touches him he starts kinda grunty whimpering and she says:
“It looks like he’s starting to have a little stranger anxiety”
I said “uh, no…that’s just you”
I mean he made 5 friends in the waiting room. So I’m guessing he is already remembering his past time there with something less than excitement.
He got both flu shots and barely noticed. The Dr. even joked that she could have done more since he’s such a trooper. Which he obviously gets from me. I always loved going to the doctor (right mom?!)
She gave us a prescription for his face since that dumb dry spot hasn’t gone away yet. Hopefully in 3-5 days he will be even more perfect.
If that’s even possible.
We also finally got the go ahead for solids
Oops.
Update on that is he’s been getting 1-2tbsp of oatmeal 2x a day plus 2oz of friut in AM and 2oz veg in PM. Usually apples and squash. The gentlemen are heading to the supermarket tomorrow and he is in for a taste explosion. The good news is he seems to enjoy eating. He gets excited when he sees the bowls and slurps back the fruit and veg in minutes. Its a messy messy process but its going really well.
I’m back at work full time through mid-March and Matthew is his primary caregiver. I think they are having an OK time.
I am so happy they get to hang out together and relieved we didn’t end up having to hire a nanny for only 10 weeks but I am really looking forward to getting back into the mom groove…especially since by the time I turn around he’ll be running away from me.

Me blogging this year?
Not really.
2010 has consisted of:
1-all of us being sick at once. then again (matthew) and again (poor matthew)
2-me going back to work (at an office!)
3-figuring out childcare (still working on it)
4-falling asleep at 830pm (me, not Asher)
and that’s pretty much it.
We fed Asher his first taste of solids today. I recorded it for your viewing pleasure.
