Asa is one month old today. It’s hard to believe. It’s been the longest month of my life. But it’s also flown by. I wish I could write all the emotions and feelings that have been flooding my heart and my mind and my body this last month. They’ve been conflicting, that’s for sure.
I’ve been on the epitome of an emotional roller coaster. The high of a belonging to a newborn baby that is beyond beautiful and soft and sweet and precious contrasted to the low of being unable to care for him, not knowing what he needs and feeling completely inadequate. It’s been a month completely on its own plane. I’ve been in the Land of Asa in the country of the Pirate.
Today I vlogged about Asa’s first month. And it’s not sappy, sweet or even featuring Asa. Sorry. I wanted to do something fun to celebrate Asa each month and I vlogged a few of my ideas.
So, if you’re here from the vlog the pictures are below for your viewing pleasure. And if you’re here because you routinely stalk my blog for cute pictures, well, look below, then head over to newbaby.com to see the reason behind them.

celebrating your baby month by month)
the super cool growth chart…
the giant horse…
the babylegs (i got mine from mom4life)…
and one more that didn’t make the vlog…
it’s not a stuffed animal, but when Yancy gets you a toy, it’s going to be a guitar…
So, which one do you like best for my monthly pirate updates?
Wow, a month already! It flies by!! What a little cutie. Been thinking of you, hope the bf is going better!
Oh, precious! I love the guitar!
Steph
I think it will be easy to see growth on the horse … I vote for the horse!
I admit – I haven’t seen any of your vlogs yet… do I have to be a member to see them? I can’t see them now…
i LOVE the growth chart tree. that is the best growth chart I’ve ever seen! That’s my favorite!!!
I love watching your vlogs! It’s like being in the room with you! My favorite is the growth chart tree. So cute! I sure know what you mean about that first month or two and there is nothing you can do but forge ahead and know it will get better. I thought by #3 and #4 it would get easier and it did in a way, but that time of getting to know that little person that you are instantly so responsible for is overwhelming and wonderful and hard and tiring and the older they get the easier it gets and then you are just sad because you miss those first few weeks when they were so tiny you can’t even remember and you wish you had just another week like that because you forget the other side…
i love the tree growth chart, very cool! i hope bf is better now. congrats on surviving the first month!
Oh I just adore the one with the guitar. He looks like he’s crooning in the photo. (Did I really use the term crooning? I’m so old!)
i love them all… so adorable!
a month already?
I’m going to go with the guitar one. He has the best face in that picture!
I like both the tree growth chart and the guitar. We were using a stuffed lamb, and Ladybug quickly out grew that visual marker. Oh well.
Love the leg warmers! The growth chart pic is a keeper. That would look adorable blown up.
You got Asa to sit up! Wow! 😉 I think I’m partial to the guitar one and the sitting-on-the-couch one. He is cute no matter what he is doing.
We have those same Baby Legs! Haven’t used them much lately, of course….
I just realized Lydia & Evan are the 5th & 6th respectively & Asa & Megan are the 20th & 21st … funny hahah:)
Oh, my gosh! He is so cute!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you sure we can’t just borrow him for a while! I love the growth chart pic and the one of him sitting up and looking to the side! So cute:)
He is such a sweetie!! Ohmygosh, a month already – time flies by so fast.
we often need leg warmers during the cold winter months in our place. we prefer cotton or wool:’*
