isn't amazing how many different emotions can be felt at once! Asher is so handsome. Don't worry it will get easier with time. Good luck with nursing. That one can be a beast!
he looks like he's smiling in the picture with serena :) i love it.
He's such a cute little man :) I love how you work with babies and you put Ash on the same schedule! You're the best ocd friend I have :)
happy one week birthday asher! i can't wait to see both of you soon!
