busy baby

THINGS CASH DOES NOW:
smiles (all the time)
laughs (is ticklish under the arms, inner thigh and feet)
grabs his feet
puts his whole fist in his mouth
sucks his fingers, thumb, toes, whatever comes near his mouth
reaches and grabs for toys (particularly those haning from the handle of his carseat)
pulls objects toward him
scootches all over
rolls over (although only when he wants to - not when mommy or daddy wants him to)

traveling man

4-23-08 Cash's first airplane ride to see Auntie Sarah in Santa Clara. He was a very good baby and the airplane ride didn't bother him at all. He played and smiled the whole time and it was only toward the end of our 4 day journey that he started to fight the car seat.
He was very happy to be home and see his daddy and puppy again. We'll see how he does at daycare today and how badly we compromised his napping paterns.
If he doesn't play baseball he has potential as a future wedding planner!

I'm not bragging but...


Cash is becoming a really good sleeper. It must be from daycare and Ms. Sylvia's schedule because I certainly am not good at any of that - scheduling or sleeping. We can put Cash down in his crib, in his own room, sleepy but awake and he finds his own way into dreamland. He takes 3 good naps each day all by himself (9ish, noonish, and 4ish).
Chandler and I were worried that we would have to swaddle him forever just to get him to sleep but one day he just decided that he didn't need to flail his arms around and instead they were much more comfortable resting in the "super baby" position. We knew the swaddler was on its way out when we would wake up in the mornings and it would be wrapped tightly around Cash's torso but his arms would be out and both his hands in his mouth.
Right now he is taking a nap - in his pack and play. I have learned that the more he sleeps, the better he sleeps.
