Our September

We endured a lot of rain and someone danced in it....

A fun morning apple picking with friends at Friske's Orchard!

Cash, Crew and Hunter:)

Cash was crushin's on his cousin's tractor!

Bye, Bye September....Hello October!

New around here....

(Brother's wedding, August 16th)

I have not been good at updating the blog. I go back and forth with just giving up on it all together but sometimes if I can't remember a date or a stat I find myself looking to the blog for the answer. It is nice to have a bunch of information in one place so I'm going to try to keep at it.

On August 27th, we moved out of the Summerside Drive house. This was our 8th move in the 5 years we have been married. Pros. We were thankful for the sale of our house, even though we are currently in limbo regarding a job transfer and where we will end up! So, wish us the best!

15 Months Old!

(baby's first selfie)

Cash is already 15 months old, crazy.

He not only walks, but runs around, getting into everything, emptying every drawer, cupboard and closet he can reach.

He is currently 30.5 lbs, 32 7/8 in tall.

His vocabulary consists of: Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, Layla (every dog), more, hi, buh bye, uh oh, baba, cheese, and sometimes Jazi (Yazi).

He is a little energizer bunny from morning to night and usually a good sleeper, sleeping 12-13 hours at a time. Praise God. He also takes a 2 hour nap every afternoon.

He loves dogs, climbing on his dad, being outside, his blanket and paci, his Laugh and Learn Car, and FOOD.

His favorite foods include, cheese, bananas, berries, bread, crackers, green beans and yogurt.

He has 10 teeth, 3 of which are molars that all decided to come in at the SAME time and make him very sick for a good week:(

He is an energetic, happy boy and just as cute as ever:)

Midweek Getaway

At the end of June (Can you tell I'm playing catch up?) we decided to get out of town for a couple of days and spend some quality time together. We started in Traverse City where we explored the beach, shopped downtown and indulged in some fabulous ice cream. Next we drove up to Northport where we took a tour through the old Grand Traverse Lighthouse. Lastly, we ended up in Leland/Fishtown which was really cool except we got rained out. So we will go back...for the wineries...without Cash:)

Cash was such a trooper and we had a great couple of days together.

4th of July

            

We had a low key fourth this year, but it was good.

We started the day at the Bay Harbor Parade, had lunch- where Cash made a lot of friends, took a long nap and then had a small BBQ at home.

Outside Fun

We have been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. Cash loves being outside, exploring, watching the neighbors (he's really nosey), etc.

Waving is his new fave. "Hi Mom!"

Evening golf cart rides are so exhausting.

Best.Face.Ever.

New toys are so fun!

I feel the need to mention that he is afraid of grass. He hates the prickly feel against his legs and will NOT walk through it. He stands completely frozen and won't move. But we're working on it:) Anyone else experience this? Advice?

A First Birthday Party

Cash looked like such a dapper little guy at his party. The weather was really nice, sans the crazy wind. The birthday boy had sugar for the first time and he was less than thrilled I think. His smash cake was huge and there was hardly a dent in it by the time he was bored with it. I guess he's perfectly happy devouring bananas, so we'll just leave the sugar till next year's cake:) We were so grateful to our friends and family that were able to come spend the afternoon with us!
