21 Weeks Old

Nursing: I thought that I placed an order for a breastfeeding necklace over a week ago, but when I went into my Etsy account I couldn’t find the order. I must have been distracted (go figure) so now I have placed my order. Cash gets really distracted when we are nursing in public so I think this will really help! He loved the bright blue color of my Life Factory water bottle and the bright orange cover on my Mac so I ordered a sky blue and pumpkin orange combination necklace.

Cloth Diapering: Just this week Cash’s poops have completely changed. They went from being the typical watery breastfed poops to more “big boy” paste like poops. They also smell more! It’s fascinating to see how his poops change when my milk changes. Nick and I never thought we would have so many conversations about poop, but it’s a daily discussion now.

Sleep: Cash is such a great sleeper at night. As long as we get him in bed between 8 PM and 9 PM before his melt down he goes right to sleep while nursing and sleeps until 7 AM. He nurses frequently during the night but I don’t really notice too much because I just wake up enough to help him get my nipple in his mouth and then I fall right back asleep. He sleeps on his side the whole night cuddled up next to me. He looks so precious when he is sleeping

Likes/Dislikes: Cash is such a happy baby and likes so many difference things. He loves to be sung to, tickled, have raspberries blown on his tummy, nursing, walks, being worn in the wraps, “flying” like an airplane and he absolutely loves his star that lights up and plays music.  

Nick and I are having a really tough time with Cash’s screaming and crying in the car seat. It just breaks our hearts to see him so upset. I really hope that he likes the toddler car seat more.

Activities: We had a date night with Alejandro, Katee and little Davey at Clinkerdagger’s on Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day so we all say outside on their patio and enjoyed some happy hour food and drinks (just water for this mama though). It was so nice to spend an evening with another couple with a baby close to Cash’s age. We are so happy that Alejandro and Katee moved back to Spokane and are excited for Davey and Cash get to grow up together.

Health: Besides all the teething symptoms that we deal with on a daily basis, Cash is very healthy. I weighed him today by stepping on the scale with him and them without him and he weighed 13 pounds 4 ounces.

Best Moment: One night this week I was cooking dinner while Nick was holding Cash and we had an Akon/Nelly radio station playing on Pandora. “Yeah” by Usher came on and Nick started dancing with Cash in front of the mirror. He was laughing and squealing like crazy! I came in and started dancing and waving my hands in the air with Nick and Cash absolutely loved it! His laughter and adorable giggles just made our night!
