Catching Up....

Ok, so I haven't posted in a couple of days because I have been mad, I couldn't figure out how to upload this video that I worked so hard to get... but I figured it out now and I do have some new developments to share with everyone! This past weekend Cash started saying bye-bye! He is such a smart little boy! It is so adorable too because he doesn't wave his whole arm, just is hand at his wrist! I know this video isn't the best but hopefully you will be able to see him waving his little hand around! I took the footage via cell phone so that's why it's not the best picture. Also, please let me apologize now for my annoying voice in the background!

This is a video of him clapping! He loves to clap now! He gets so proud of himself because we make a huge deal whenever he waves or claps so now he just does it all the time!

I hope everyone enjoys these videos! I will try to get some new pictures up soon! I have just been too tired! My child has been amazing about bedtime ever since the day we brought him home from the hospital! This last week has been anything but amazing, he is fighting us now. He doesn't want to go to bed at all, I have done everything I know to make this not happen but here we are! Hopefully this is just a stage and everything will be back to normal soon. By the way, he has two teeth on bottom and four teeth on top! The fourth tooth on top is just breaking through so this could also be a part of his night night issues! I guess we will find out soon enough! We also have a doctors appointment on Thursday, just his 9 month check-up, wow, did I just say 9 months? Where does the time go? I will give a full report on Thursday!

Preparing For Flu Season

So at first, when all the H1 N1 talk started, I was not scared of it in the least. I was actually tired of hearing about it in the news. Well I logged into my e-mail one day and it said, on the Yahoo web page, 18 million Americans will get the H1 N1 flu and of those 90,000 Americans will die! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This certainly got me to thinking a little harder about the virus. I still wasn't totally freaked out or anything, just really started washing my hands more frequently. Well now I am totally freaking out and obsessed with buying antibacterial products after hearing about the six year old that died this passed week from Hot Springs and the fact that one of my good friend's little girl potentially has it too! I have gone into germ freak mode! So I thought I would show my flu prevention kit....Not that this is fail proof by any means but I am trying to make every effort I can to prevent this horrible virus from attacking our family! I am using all of these in addition to anti-bacterial soap and HOT water. Cash and I went to Babies R Us this afternoon, which I am trying to leave him at home now as much as possible, to get him his first toothbrush ( for those FIVE teeth he has) and some supplies for baby hands that kills germs! (I also "Lysol-ed" down the whole entire cart, even though he has a cart cover, I admit I am a freak, ok?.) The white thing in the middle is actually a passy sterilizer! It looks awesome, I can't wait to use it! I truly do hope all these steps and all the prayers I have been praying will work! On the upside, as I mentioned above, Cash got his first toothbrush today! How exciting, right? It's is even one that is battery operated and vibrates! He loved his first brush.....

Isn't this face priceless?

We had a pretty low key weekend, but it was nice to have nothing to do! Sometimes we just get too wrapped up in our fast paced life that we need the rain to slow us down, keep us inside, and hang out together all day! I loved playing with Cash all weekend long!

The Cutest Thing I Have Ever Seen

Besides my baby of course....
I don't know if you guys will be able to see what this picture actually is but I will explain....
I woke up this morning about 2:30 a.m. to feed Cash, whenever I wake up with him in the night I always go look outside (just a weird thing I have, those who know me understand) just to make sure everything is good. Whenever I turned on the porch light this is what I found...this is my flower pot with two kittens inside of the pot (smashing my flowers) one black and one orangish and they have their paws wrapped around each other! Is that not sweet or what...and I don't even care for cats!

Cash's New Toys


Well really it's just one new toy because the second has been around a while. I just didn't know how much fun a bottle lid was for him! He will play with it for hours! He chases it around the floor, chews on it, and throws it around! He is too funny!


And for the real "new" toy......




His School Bus!! Hooray! He loves this thing. It sings, has children laughing, lights, and a honking horn! My Dad got this for him and Cash actually took a few steps by himself while holding onto the back! Other than playing with new toys today, we have really been pretty lazy! The rainy weather makes me want to stay in bed all day! I wish Cash felt the same way, but he doesn't miss a beat! He is just like Mommy, going all the time!

Look at This....


This child can literally sleep anywhere! We were walking into Target and he had fallen asleep on the way. I got him out of his car seat and put him the cart and he never even noticed! Isn't he adorable though? I could just eat him up!

Labor Day!

Tonight I finally got a picture of Cash's new trick....

That's right....You guessed it....

He can crawl up the stairs by himself! What a big boy! Also Check out those jeans, aren't they the cutest things you've ever seen! He has the cutest little booty!

After all this excitement we went to my parents house to eat dinner and then go visit Kelly, Jason, and Auggie! Auggie is their new labradoodle(correction: he is a GOLDENdoodle) and he is so cute! My mom made steaks, chicken, mac & cheese, corn, ..... she always cooks for an army, anyways it was so yummy! While we were there Cash played with my mom's dog, Holly, and thought that pulling her tail and slapping her was loads of fun.....

I had to take this picture, they looked so cute together!

Cash and Holly

Afterwards, we headed to Kelly and Jason's to see Auggie and visit with them...

Cash was trying to pull down Kell's shirt! Haha

We came home and all of us went to bed! What an exhausting, yet fun three day weekend!

Hog Wild Weekend


Wow, this weekend has gone by so fast! To start off, we woke up Saturday to a torrential downpour, which we were not happy about! We have been looking forward all week to the game and tailgating! Luckily by about 12:30 p.m. it stopped and we headed out...

But before we left we couldn't help but to take pictures of our little piggy since he had to stay home with his grandparents....


Check Out Those Teeth!

Isn't he cute?

We had so much fun at the tailgate we go to every year! It's always a party....

It was about 4:00 p.m. and our boys rolled in.......


We went back home at about 5:30 p.m., our neighbors had bought the game pay-per-view, I was dying for some air conditioning! I thought the rain would bring great/cool weather, man was I wrong! It was SO hot and humid! We still had a great time and can't wait to see how this season goes! GO HOGS!!!
