Birch Bay

Cash and I took a trip up to Birch Bay this week to spend some time with Grandma.(Blaine, WA - about 100 miles north of us) Unfortunatly it rained almost the WHOLE time with only a few sun breaks but w e made the best of it, we are Washintonians so a little rain wasn't going to slow us down! It was Cash's first time to the beach and I REALLY wanted to get his feeties in the sand but it was waaaay too cold for that. Maybe next time! We just bundled him up and walked around to all the shops; Of course the ladies at the restaurant, cafe & candy store doted on him.... who wouldn't? =)
At the Candy store

SOOOO excited about all the candy! haha

On a walk with Mama

Natures Art work

Snuggled up with mama on the beach to keep warm!



At the local Cafe for a mocha


Helping mama by packing up his toys... time to go home!

TEEFS!

It's official, mark your calendars, Cash James has his first TOOTH!!! It won't come as a surprise to those of you who know him, he's a major drool bug; but I thought it would take a little longer to break through. He will be 5 months old on July 10th so he's cutting his teeth a little early - lucky me! haha
Let's just hope and pray that he uses them for GOOD instead of EVIL.
We shall see.....
Another mile stone he reached this week has been his new mode of transport... rolling! He's been known to scoot while on his back if he has something to push off of with his feet but now he rolls from back to tummy, over and over and over again to get where ever he needs to go!! Watch out... he's coming for you!

Yesterday we went up to my dads house in Everett to celebrate the 4th. He lives on a bluff overlooking the sound, 180 degree view - beautiful!



With Great Grandma Millie & Great Grandpa Billy
It was HOT but Cash James stayed cool in the shade of his umbrella and although he fell asleep before the finale he DID stay up for the fireworks and really enjoyed watching them!

Mama & Cash watching the fireworks

Cash didn't quite make it to the finale!

Cash has the blues....

Brandon was playing guitar for Cash this A.M. while he was in the "jumpa jumpa". He does this often but I haven't gotten it on video! I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful, talented husband!! Oh and Happy 4th of July!!!

JUMPA JUMPA

Cash James 20 weeks old

Cash has been using his Rainforest Jumper for a while now but just in the past few weeks he's really gotten into the toys and JUMPA JUMPA (as we say!) Of course he was jumping away until I grabbed the video camera but I got a little bit of action on tape as well as some laughing! Enjoy!! JUMPA JUMPA! =)

STATS!!!!!!!

Cash James is 4 months old today and we just got back from his doc appt. Here are his stats for all of you waiting on pins and needles haha....

26 1/2 inches long = 90%

17 lbs 1 oz = 85% (almost time for the BIG BOY car seat!!)

17" head = 75%

Doctor Eichner gave him an A+! Cash LOVES his german accent and giggled while he was talking to him. He had some shots as well but he was very brave and only cried a little. Then we snuggled & nursed a bit.
Mommy made it all better!

Photos from today. He LOVES to eat his feeties & having tummy time! =)

VIDEO of Tummy Time. Such a happy & silly boy!

Picture People

I took Cash to Picture People to get some In-studio shots. It went a little TOO well as I couldn't afford to buy them all. He is SO photogenic if i do say so myself!!He is such a ham. He kept rolling over and laughing at me when I was trying to get him to stay on his tummy. We had so much fun. I can't believe he is going to be 4 months next week! Time has FLOWN by! I can't wait to see how much he weighs, he is such a big big boy!!! I will for sure post the staggering results after his Appt! =)
