My Little Thumb Sucker

We're still working on the rice cereal situation. He's been getting up at 5:30 this last week because bottles just don't keep him full anymore.


So Cash has picked up the habit lately of sucking his thumb. I know it's such a bad habit but I can't bring myself to stop him because it's so cute! He's getting so big I just can't believe it. I thought I'd put a few pictures up for grandma and grandpa... Cash and I were talking today and he says that he really misses them and it's time for Heather to share them back with us :) Anyway... We love you grandma and grandpa and all of our family up north!

Catch Up

So it's been a while since I've blogged last and it's been a little busy. It was a little cold in Fairview so we put Cash in Matt's sweatshirt like he was a little kangaroo. 

 We went to Chris Schafbuch's cabin over the weekend. It was so fun to spend the weekend with our friends. Cash did so well too. He slept well and took good naps. I was so happy, I was a little stressed about it before we went but he did great!

Next...

We started Cash on rice cereal. We were a little early but he was sucking down his bottles and still starving so we figured it was time. This is a picture of him after his first "big boy" meal. So tasty!

And last but not least... Cash still hates his lifejacket. But we're working on it... Still....

But Matt found out that he cried less when he was upside-down. Don't worry... This baby's Mama didn't think that was very funny either :)

Nun-chuck skills, computer hacking skills, lifejacket wearing skills...

So be honest... Does this make me an abusive mother??? 

We bought Cash a really "cozy" neoprene lifejacket because we like to live on the boat in the summer. We thought it would be a great idea to try it on him because we know he will just love to boat as much as we do. Well we found out that a big yellow lifejacket (neoprene or not) is not one of Cash's favorite things.

So to fix this little problem we decided to have lifejacket time during the day. We have story time, play time, tummy time, saucer time, bumbo time... So we thought that lifejacket time would be a grand idea... Cash doesn't really agree. We're starting out with 5 minutes a day because boating season is just around the corner and we already have two Lake Powell trips planned. Wish us luck. I think we're going to need it. Especially if Cash is going to be wake-boarding by the end of the summer!

"Just Chillin Mom"

Gavin is such a good babysitter. Cash just loves hanging with his big cousin.

My Little Golfer Boy

So the story starts like this...

I have been trying to find Cash a blessing outfit for a while now. (I know... We're blessing him a little late!) Anyway... I hate ALL of the boy outfits we've found. Some of them even come with bonnets... Yes, bonnets for boys... Anyway, We went to Children's Place and decided that we'd go the less "traditional" route for the blessing outfit. I keep getting teased that he looks like a little golfer. But I think it's cute, and that's all that matters right?

Totally in Denial!

I cannot believe how big he's getting! He's not old enough in my mind to be able to hold himself up. Matt put him in his saucer though and he loved it. He kept checking himself out in the mirror!

My Favorite Job Is Mommy!

I went back to work two weeks ago and I love my job but I miss my little buddy when I'm gone. But I'm so grateful that Matt has been able to be with him when I can't. He has some awesome dad skills that's for sure!!! I sure do love my boys!!!
