First Tooth

Yes! My little nugget is getting a TOOTH! I can’t believe it either… mainly because my pediatrician told me I was crazy when I mentioned to her I thought he was teething. She said, “I’ll look but I think that’s a couple months early”. 

Call it a mother’s intuition, but I knew my little guy was in pain, so I continued the baby Orajel and Monday night when I was applying the goop to Cashton’s lower jaw … there it was! A jagged razor like little tooth budding up from his tender little mouth.  

He’s only 4 months old, but I knew something was up when my happy little guy stopped smiling and started drooling like a dog and gumming my arm! 

Momentarily, he is feeling better and laughing and smiling again but I know it’s just a matter of time before we start the cycle again for another one! 

In the mean time I’ll keep the teething rings on ice, since they could be needed at a moments notice.  

Moral of the story … follow your instincts!

Four Months Old

Wow… I blinked and Cash was 4 months old! 

Talk about a TON of changes in 4 months! Cashton is getting bigger and stronger everyday and is coming into a BIG gregarious personality! I’ve NEVER seen a baby smile so much! Trust me I’m not bragging if anything I am the MOST thankful… and waiting for the other shoe to drop!

I always say “God only gives you what you can handle”… and he must think I’m a wussy! I had an amazing pregnancy (yes, I was one of those women who loved being pregnant… annoying I know!) a LONG but manageable delivery and now I have the happiest baby boy! 

We had a lot of milestones this month! We are sleeping in our own room (which is a whole post of it’s own to come) and we started solid foods! Beginning with single grain rice cereal and avocados. 

Cashton also learned how to roll over this month and prefers sleeping on his belly, even though it makes me a nervous wreck! He also learned how to push himself up which makes me feel better about the belly sleeping. 

Cash is also growing like a weed and at 4 months old is in 6 month clothing! Oh and did I mention he cut his 1st tooth this month too!?!

Now if I can just get him to sit up on his own. I guess we’ll work on that in month 5!

Don't Break The Bank On Photo Shoots

You don’t need a professional photo shoot for ever milestone. Trust me, as a new parent it’s tempting but you can make memories that will last a lifetime right in the comfort of your own home with a little help of your iPhone and a simple app!
