Mommy & Me Swim Lessons

Hooray!
Swim lessons finally!
I used to take our friend's kid to swim lessons at this place and would long (sob uncontrollably and long) for the day when I could take my own child to swim lessons. The mommies and babies were so cute bobbing up and down, singing songs, and twirling round (it was visual torture really). Now I'm that mommy!!! I know it sounds sooooo STUPID but my dreams came true!
Cash was a champ, like always. He was in awe at his surroundings and very overwhelmed at the sights and sounds. It was his first time going under water and floating. I was waiting for the tears when he came up from under water and the water drained out of his nose. But no tears, just a few shocked blinks like, "what the hell did you just do that for?" Curious, calm, collective, smiley, and alert....that's my Cashie pants.

6 Months

Ahhhhh! Half a year! My how time flies....

I revisited my 5 month post and laughed out loud because sleep training was a bust. It didn't happen. It will never happen again. I toughed out another month of nightly zombie walks to his room to rock, hush, and nurse my cuddly little boy. Finally, yes, FINALLY, Cashie is only waking twice a night to nurse and if he does wake in between he will fall back asleep on his own. Can I get a hallelujah?!

Continuing on....he has not gained even an ounce this past month. 19lbs.....I have to say that I think his dairy free life has finally helped my Skinny out, less frequent dirty diapers and no more grumbly tummy. As for developmental achievements, he has learned that if he wants something he can beg for it and if you want to take it away from him once in hand all hell will break loose. Cash loves (loves) sticking his tongue out and has found the relationship between the word 'no' and shaking his head...sometimes he'll do these two actions simultaneously. He has made no effort to crawl and why would he with a mother who can't keep her hands off of him?
