Nursing: Mr. Cash Man loves to nurse! He is definitely getting more distracted while we nurse in public because he just wants to look around and take in his new surroundings. I think I need to get a nursing/teething necklace very soon. I saw some awesome breastfeeding necklaces on etsy that I think I will order. I just have to decide on the color. Cash really likes bright colors so I’m thinking apple green, sky blue, orange or red.
Cloth Diapering: Cash
has pretty much outgrown his GMD clotheeze workhorse newborn diapers. We use
our Sloomb OBF diapers and one Happy Little Cloud (HLC) diaper and only use the
GMD diapers as a last resort. We need to order more diapers but are trying to
decide if we want to use OBF all the time or have a few HLCs in rotation. Cash
usually has 2 huge poops per day but sometimes he can have up to 4 huge poops
per day.
I shaved all of our wool covers this week. Cash sat on my lap and we were singing and chatting while we were shaving when all of a sudden Cash just passed out! It was hilarious!

Cash had two spots of diapers rash that appeared this week.
One spot was on his balls and the other was on his pee pee. It looked so
painful but he didn’t seem to notice. We used my homemade diaper rash cream and
it was gone in a day and a half.
I also bought some new Planet detergent to try out. So far I
think I may like it more than the Eco Sprout, but I’m still deciding.
Sleep: The
Morelli’s are sleeping great! Cash still like to go to bed around 8 PM, but he
did stay up until 9 PM a couple nights this week.
Likes/Dislikes: Cash
has started giggling and smiling when he sees his reflection in the mirror! My
mom and Nick both hold Cash in front of the big mirror in our living room and
go back and forth with him while making all sorts of funny noises and Cash eats
it up! He giggles and coos every time he gets close to the mirror; it is the
cutest thing ever!
We have decided that Cash is quite a morning person! He loves
his morning time with his daddy. From the time he first opens his eyes in the
morning to the time he takes his morning nap he is smiling and chatting us up!
Cash still doesn’t care for the car seat but we did have one
day this week where he didn’t scream the entire ride so it may be getting a
little better.
We also woke Cash up a few times a night this week to change his diaper when he had the diaper rash and he was NOT happy! He likes his sleep too much to bother being woken up for a diaper change. Luckily he went right back to sleep with a little bit of mama’s milk.
Activities: We
took Cash to my aunt Colleen and uncle Paul’s house so he could visit with his
great grandma Weasie. My grandma is 90 and her memory isn’t the best but she
sure enjoyed seeing her great grandson! All the grandparents came over to visit their darling grandson this week too!
Health: Our Cash
man is a teething machine! He is constantly chewing on his fists and fingers
and drooling like a Saint Bernard! He will suck his thumb for a couple seconds
but then changes to chew on his pointer and middle finger or fist. He also
likes to chew on other people’s fingers, arms and shoulders. I was holding Cash
one morning and he was chewing and sucking on my arm and when I gave him to
Nick I noticed that he left a hickey on m arm! His suction packs a punch!
Best Moment: Cash
and Nick were on the ground in the kitchen on some towels for tummy time while
I was making the doggie’s dinner when he started to crawl backwards a little!
Of course I didn’t see it the first time (I swear the second I’m not looking at
him he does something amazing for the first time) but Nick started shouting at
me to come look! Lucking he did it a couple more times so I was able to see it
too! Nick and I are just amazed at how quickly Cash is growing and changing! We
know he will be crawling before we know it!
