HAPPY 7 MONTHS, CASH!

Babbling, doing the worm, eating dog food, taking a bath in the dog's water...giving the dogs foot massages, pulling Mabelle's hiar...all in a day in the life of Cash. In addition to his eating, exploring, plalying, and chewing everthing in his path...Cash is now pulling himself up! Crazy, but true...on Mabelle's chair, but it still counts. Who would've thought those cute little chunky legs would be standing already!? He is getting so big, so fast...is it ok to cry yet??

Catchup...whoa its been over a week...

Ok, ok, ok...so I've been slacking. That's what happens with 2 kids, 3 dogs, and a lot of Olympics to watch...and some much needed catchup of Project Runway! Hee hee. On to the kids' catchup. After we returned from vacay, we had Mimi and Pipi (ooops, Papa) to visit. We were able to go out and eat with another couple (of course I was a worried hen the entire time...how do people relax on date night???)...it was the first time in a loooong time. And this is what we came home too...2 sleeping, happy babies! Who knew that was possible without Mama around?? HAHAHA! Well, it is..and here's proof...Mimi's handy-work, a sleeping Cash.

"Cash needs a bow, Mama."
Papa and Cash
I'm not sure he can smile any bigger!
My little bird waiting for his sippy cup.
Bah-bah-bah...bah-duh-duh-duh-da-duh...well, you know the BIG chopsticks scene :) my singing voice doesn't do it justice.

Again, this time with a hat!

She is ALWAYS in his face, taking his toys, not sharing her toys, pulling/squeezing/squishing/falling/loving on him....but he LOVES her more than anything, and I'm pretty certain the feeling is absolutely mutual!
Again...this time with a zerbert on Cash's belly.
Pure cuteness.
Doing the cha-cha in her rumba shorts.
Doesn't his noggin look a little large in this ultra cute pic??!

Summer=Popsicle+Swimming
The best pic I got of her in her swimming goggles.
Mama floats....and poses at the same time.
He's the best snuggler!

My chunky pudding

Cash had a doc checkup this week...and our nurse was soooo in love with him, she kept calling him 'puddin' and 'chunky'. I got a lecture that I needed to start feeding him...hahahahaha! He weighs a hefty 18lbs 6oz, and is 27 inches long. They say he's in the 50-75%, which would be average, but even the nurse said he was chunky...but healthy! He got one shot (Dtap) and the the last Rotovirus vax....he didn't even cry at the shot. Cash was more upset about laying down, than getting a 'prickly' (as we call shots in this house). He moves so fast, he is still doing the crawl with no legs, but it isn't an wounded soldier crawl, more like the worm (that awesome dance move). I'll get video of that soon!

His first time in a cart without his carseat! He looooved it...and I love my new cart-cover!

Mabelle getting settled...sorta

So we've moved, and Mabelle is getting settled in the new house just fine. She is ornery as ever, a complete spaz (just like me). She knows her birthday is soon, and will tell anyone who asks her, what she would like for her birthday...and it'll be different each time someone asks! And she loves her new house, especially her pool.

Heading to our new dance class...we ditched Ms. Eva (she was scaaary), and now have a fun teacher with lots of girls her age!

"Look, Mama! I have a bookbag, just like Daddy!" (Daddy carries a bookbag to work)

She got this cool scooter thing for Christmas from her great-grandparents, and is a pro at it...especially now down our loooooong hallway. You have to move the steering wheel back and forth to get it to move.
Can you see how far she went? It's a long hallway, I sprinted as fast as I could run the other day...it's crazy!
Our first dip in the pool (she's only swam twice...we just got it blasted/cleaned and refilled, and it hasn't heated up yet).
Swimming to the waterfall and touching it.
Sitting on the steps of the pooooool.

Blogger is ruining my plan...

I had a master plan that these posts of the beach would be in order...Blogger had another plan! So they are mixed up...the first post was supposed to be 'The Beach...the Beach...'.

Anyhoo...that's why they are all mixed up and wonkey! Enjoy!!!

The Beach: Hanging at the Beach

After the family pictures, instead of napping...we all headed to the beach!

Mama and Mabelle...cute & ready to swim (in our semi-matching suits)!

At the beach, in his canopy...not very happy...ready for a nap.
Another unhappy camper...hot, tired, sandy, hungry...but one of my fav pics!

Its all the kids...frolicking on the beach and in the surf.
Hot, sweaty, sandy...but a pic of mom & baby.
Daddy helping build a sandcastle.
Mama and her sweet babies...we headed up to the condo immediately after this for food, baths, & naps.

The Beach: Good ol' fun

Just random pictures from the week...

Mama & her sweet baby Cash, swimming in the pool.

Who's watching the babies?? HAHAHA!
Ask Uncle Dave to get Cash ready to swim...30mnts later, still struggling. (hahahah...poor Uncle Dave)
My skinny husband (he's lost so much weight in Vegas) and Mabelle getting in the pool.

Aunt Weezer and my bathing beauty, Cash!!
Isabel with sleeping beauty.
Aunt Weezer and Cash...cuties!
Mabelle & Isabel with Papa and Mimi at the pool (that was our view from our balcony).

The Beach: Tritten Family Pic

Since we were all together, it was only natural that we do a Tritten Family Pic (sorry Schnarrs, you're really Trittens). We went to the beach at 630am (after the previous night of traveling all night...again, fun, fun)....but it was great, the kids were sort of cooperating, and the grown-ups were pretty and smiling!

Proof that Mabelle likes her Uncle Dave.

The sweetest picture EVER. I love my boys :)
After the shoot, back at the condo...with his Mimi.
Mabelle stripped her dress off and waited patiently to go swim...giving her little cousin sugar while she waited.
