La Casa de Woytek: Asher's First Week

Yesterday Asher went to his one-week checkup, which capped of his first week of life. He weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz., up seven ounces from his last day in the hospital. He experienced a number of "firsts" last week.

He found his thumb for the first time, had his first bath, and went on his first walk with mom and dad. On Saturday, he experienced his first Notre Dame game, which coincided with his first taste of agonizing defeat at the hands of the hated Trojans. Sunday, he had his first ride in the stroller, though he slept soundly through the whole experience. He's seen his first Phillies win and loss, and slept through his first ninth-inning comeback. He had his first experience with Skype and said goodbye to Nana and Mimi for the first time.

Mom and dad have also experienced a number of "firsts." They lost their first battle with ill-fitting diapers and experienced the large amount of laundry a baby goes through for the very first time.
