The anti-aging tinted moisturizer I am using these days says "Under 6 months, consult a physician". If you're using anti-aging tinted moisturizer on your infant, you should consult a psychiatrist, I think.

Yesterday a little boy came to the door selling popcorn for his scout troop. Sean always buys stuff from kids who come to our door, so he had to run off to fetch $30 for some tin full of cheese popcorn. Cash was standing at the door trying to get out and the little boy kept moving to block his way. Cash thought this was the funniest thing ever, he kept trying to dash past and the boy wouldn't let him by.

Finally while I was paying, Cash broke free and ran into the yard. The boy ran after him and Cash was so amused, he screamed with laughter and tore across the lawn, with the boy in hot pursuit. They were having so much fun, the kid's mom had to ask him 5 or 6 times to come on, they had more selling to do. He would have been happy to just hang out and play with Cash until dinner time, I think!

Scenes like that make me excited to think about someday Cash maybe having a little brother to play with.



Cash woke up once in the night, I don't remember anything about it except that it took just a few seconds of cuddling to get him back to sleep.

He woke up again at 0440 though. Um, no. I'll get up with him at 5 if I have to, but before five? No way. It took me until six to get him back to sleep, I think I fell asleep first. We both woke up to Lola walking on us around 0800.

It's amazing how bright-eyed and bushy tailed Mr B is in the mornings, it makes it easier for me to wake up having such a happy little guy to play with.



He watched SSU while I got ready and tidied up. I'd planned to go get donuts and coffee for everyone, but since we slept so late, I didn't have time and ended up having to call Michelle and beg her to bring me some McCrack.

Cash pooped three times in the 2 hours between waking up and his friends arriving, I guess he had too much licorice yesterday. Sean gave him the box when he was begging for more, there wasn't too much left in it, but more than he usually has at once. That kid is so funny about his licorice.

We had quite a party! Michelle brought fingerpaints and canvases, so we turned Jackson, Chase, Andrew, Cash & Trey loose in the yard and let them make masterpieces.

I think Cash's came out really nice



Sean was very impressed when he came home from work and Cash gave it to him.

Eventually all the kids ended up in the baby pool and playing with the hose. I got a funny & adorable picture of Cash and Andrew. They're naked & leaning up against the fence around the Koi pond watching the fish, both of them with their suntans and white baby butts.

We came back inside to dry everyone off and get them dressed, the kids had a blast playing with Cash's toys and he was very good about sharing.

It was a super fun playdate, we definitely need to do that some more.

Mr B was up on the ottoman poking at the teevee screen & I casually asked him if he was going to wipe it off for me when he was done. Do you know he actually went into the drawer of the entertainment center, got out the little anti-static cloth we keep in there and started wiping down the screen? Tonia was so amused, she said it was the cutest thing she'd ever seen. He then neatly put the cloth back in the drawer and closed it up.

Michelle, whose teevee gets its fair share of baby fingerprints when he visits, asked if she'd receive the same service tomorrow.

Cash asked for his nap water (he has a different style of sippy cup for naptime/bedtime than out & about) and was trying to drag me down the hall to his bed before everyone had even left! He was tuckered out.

I ChaChaed while he was asleep, now that the new pay period has started I am trying to get ahead early on. I was $40 short of my goal this month, I want to avoid doing that again!

I accidentally watched that be Paris Hilton's BFF show on MTV while I was working. I think I got dumber just from being in the room while it was on.

Cash woke up around three, came in here to get me and didn't even want a hug, just grabbed me and took me to the kitchen. He was hungry! After watermelon and two helpings of sweet potatoes, we went for our walk and then came home and played outside with the remnants of the morning's party supplies.

Sean came home, admired his baby's beautiful artwork & gave him some tickle time.

Mr B had leftover cheese broccoli rice from last night for dinner, we had an italian beef roast and rice.

Watched Mad Men (so awesome!) and last week's season premiere of Kitchen Nightmares. I wish I knew why the BBC one is so much better.

Sometimes when Cash is just about to drift off to sleep, he waves bye bye. It just melts my heart.

I'm already sad thinking that someday he'll be all grown up and I won't get to cuddle him to sleep anymore.

I love that little guy so much
