Nursing/Eating: We are still trying to find a balance with our new nursing relationship. Some days Cash nurses in the morning, a few times throughout the day and then to sleep. Other days all he wants to do is nurse, nurse, nurse. He does eat a ton of food so I’m surprised at how much he nurses sometimes. He loves meat! Every morning when he wakes up the first word out of his mouth is “meat” or “meat stick” (EPIC bars). He also loves eggs, smoothies, veggies, fruit and nana’s paleo muffins. He is such a good little eater!
Potty Learning: Cash
is doing so great with his potty learning! It’s truly amazing! He rarely has
accidents and when he does it’s usually because we don’t make it to the potty
in time. His Sloomb trainers are amazing and hold almost an entire pee when we do have an accident. When we are out and about we take his Baby Bjorn potty chair and leave
it in the backseat of the truck. Before we go into a store we ask him if he
needs to pee and if he does we put him on it. At night he will wake us up if he
needs to pee. I think he has only had 3-4 nighttime accidents since we switched
to trainers. At home he tells us when he has to pee and if he want to use the “big
potty” or the “little potty”.
Sleep: Somehow Cash
switched to a later sleep schedule and has turned into a night owl. He goes to
bed between 9 PM and 10 PM now and sleeps until 5-6 AM most mornings. After he
nurses he usually goes back to sleep until 7-7:30 AM. If Nick gets up he hears
the door open and immediately sits up and says, “help, daddy”. He loves to help
Nick feed the dogs and make coffee and tea in the morning. Most nights he
sleeps pretty well, but we have the occasional night where he wakes up at 3 AM
and wants to nurse. Those nights are super tough if he won’t settle down with
some snuggles and water.
Cash is napping on his own now and usually sleeps for about
an hour and a half. If I’m napping with him he will sleep for 2-3 hours. My mom
is pretty good at getting him to sleep by reading to him. If she reads him to
sleep I can usually transfer him to the bed without him waking up so that’s a
huge bonus!
Likes/Dislikes: Cash
loves books, cars, dump trucks, coloring, playing outside, baths, running around like a crazy boy,
cooking, climbing anything and everything and helping mama, daddy and nana with
anything and everything.
We still have a nightly struggle with brushing his teeth. He
screams and cries every time. It’s so sad, but we have to brush his teeth so
there’s no way around it.
Activities: We
have been really busy with our flips the past couple of months so Cash has seen
tons of Lowes and Home Depot. He also had a play date with my friend’s daughter
(my mom set it up and watched both of them for date night). He had so much fun
with a friend at nana’s house!
We also made a trip to the pumpkin patch and he had a blast
picking out all the tiny gourds and pumpkins!
For my birthday my dad took us out to dinner at Angelo's, my favorite organic Italian restaurant. Cash had so much fun with the wine glasses and silverware.
Health: Cash has
been super healthy! I got a horrid stomach flu but luckily it didn’t touch him!
Best Moment: Thanksgiving
and the day after Thanksgiving tree decorating. I love absolutely love
Thanksgiving and Christmas and it’s ten times more amazing sharing that joy
with my family.
