{Just A Little Photo Shoot}

A few weeks ago I found this really cool place to take pictures. I want to go back everyday. It's so pretty. We went to brunch one Sunday morning then headed out to take pictures of Cash. He is growing SO fast!

I don't think it's possible to have more beautiful eyes than this little boy right here.

This started out as pictures of Cash and a lady showed up and asked if we wanted a family picture. While I hadn't really planned for family portraits that day, but I LOVE how this turned out!

It's FRIDAY!!! (12:09, so I guess technically, it's Saturday) Any awesome weekend plans? I am going to try to hunt down a ladder. I have been looking for an antique ladder like this to display my quilts in my sewing room and at the Dallas Flea. SO, it looks like Cash and I are headed to First Monday. Wish me luck!

{5-ish Months}

He was 5 months 20 days ago,.............

The picture above was taken a couple days ago. The one below was taken in Maryland about a month ago so neither is actually Cash at just 5 months.

At 5-ish months old, Cash is:

-Teething

-Loving Sophie the Giraffe (Thanks Santos fam!)

-Rolling front, back, sideways, upside-down, around and all over

-Weighing in at a hefty 17(ish) pounds!

-Smiling alllllll the time (when he isn't crying over those teeth!)

-Eating cereal, apples, pears, carrots, sweet potatoes and squash

-NOT eating green beans

-Sleeping approx. 6-8 hours at night (THANK YOU!)

-A social butterfly

-Having a bit of separation anxiety

-TEETHING

He is the sweetest baby ever and I love him more and more everyday!

{A Pillow for Jess}

I know you can only see a bit of this room, but don't you just love that purple?? And Audrey,... HELLO!? Plus, the bed is REALLY comfy!

Thanks Matt & Jess for letting us stay with you! Can't wait to do it again for Christmas time. (hopefully?) (Maybe we'll get snowed in again!!) :)

If you're interested in this ruffle pillow, you'll be able to find some similar ones in my Etsy shop soon!!

Happy weekend everyone! XOXO

{It's Fall!}

FINALLY! I thought the heat would NEVER end! We spent a few days in Maryland with family and friends last week. It was nice to see everyone and introduce Cash to some of his Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Grandparents,.... etc.

We spent a day at the pumpkin patch and saw:

Barns filled with little animals!

Cotton that I wanted to take right out of the ground and bring home with me.

Pumpkins, of course, and more animals.

Here we are!!

Cash loved being surrounded by all of his girls,... Aunts, Cousin and Grandmom.

Sweet baby snuggles for Aunt Veronica.

Cash was so good in Maryland! He enjoyed being a social butterfly and spending the night at his Aunt & Uncle's house!

We did have quite the disastrous flight home. Cash was wonderful, but a 3 hour flight turned into 7 hours when the nasty weather diverted us to Houston and we weren't allowed to get off the plane! UGH,... cramped, stale air, getting home after 2am,... Cash was a trooper. I was cranky as hell!

I also went out with my sister-in-law, a few weeks ago, to some markets. Pumpkins galore!!

That's all for now,... lots to catch up on though! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

{3 Months}

LOOK at those baby blues!!! He is such a SWEET baby! He smiles at me when I say "hi" and we can get him to laugh at the craziest noises.

These pictures were taken in Hawaii, Cash was a little older than 3 months, but I forgot to do a 3 month photo shoot, so these should do. AND... since he is now 4 months, stay tuned for that post. :)

I love this guy,... probably even more tomorrow than today.

{2 Months}

I can't believe this little guy is already two whole months!

Here is a whole slew of pictures to mark it!

Just love him!!!

Happy August! Hopefully with the ending of summer this heat wave will also be coming to an end,.... praying for some rain and some breezy days so I can take this little guy outside!

{My Men}

I just love them so much!

Oops,... woke em up,...

{Happy Fourth!}

My brother-in-law and his wife came out from Maryland to visit last weekend. It was wonderful for Cash to meet his Aunt & Uncle.

We spent Saturday at Possum Kingdom with my friend Megan and her family for a little wedding celebration before the big day in HAWAII!!! YAY! I'M GOING TO HAWAII!! That reminds me,... I have to start working out....

Sweetest baby ever!

This is our first family portrait. I haven't really been ready to be photographed, but this seemed like an opportunity,... halfway disguised.

Cash LOVED to be outside!! It was a bit cooler at the lake than it is in the metroplex, with some wind and cloud coverage, or we would spend more time outside. Waiting,... waiting,.... waiting for Fall.

We spent Sunday at my parents house for a fish fry,... totally should have taken pictures of all. the. food!!! It was so good! Fried catfish, homemade fries and hush puppies,... coleslaw, cheesecake, watermelon,... oh my! I loved it all,... Cash? Not so much. :( Sorry buddy!

On the actual 4th, my husband and his brother went to the Rangers/Orioles game where they paid $85/ticket to watch their team lose,... sorry guys! And my sister-in-law and I hit up the movies for Water For Elephants. I loved it!! It's been a while since I read the book, so I'm not too sure on the accuracy, but it was still really good! Recommended. No fireworks were seen,... but I would still say it was a successfully festive weekend! Thanks Matt & Jess for flying all the way out here for some fun in the sun, thanks Matt, Holly, Dad & Mom for all the yummy food! Thanks Megan, Pat & Ken for hosting such a great time at the lake! Thank you Robert Pattinson for looking hot in WFE. :)

I hope you all had wonderful, safe holiday weekends too!

{1 Month}

This baby bird is a month old,.... ALREADY!?!?

He is such a beautiful blessing for both me & the Mr. Needless to say, we have been pretty caught up in this perfect little baby boy with not a lot of time for much else, but I do have more updates coming,... i really do,... :)

This is his superhero pose. Cashman. He is going to grow up to be amazing!

I'm not totally awesome with words,... which is sad for a blogger,... but being this little guy's mom is the most beautiful and important thing I will ever do and he makes every minute of raging heartburn and every extra pound totally worth it :)
