Life Lately Via My Camera Roll:

Life Lately Via My Camera Roll:

Life this past month or two has been so much fun. We have are definetly going out of summer with a bang! Fall weather has not offically began yet so we are still hitting the beach hard.  We have had birthdays, weddings and some date nights and boys/girls night outs that have been quite fun the past couple of months.   Since im no longer doing monthly updates on Cash (don't worry ill do them every few months still), just to fill you in on this little dude lately: hes been walking since 13.5 months about a month ago, he says "mama, dada, keys, Cash, cheese, this, that, hot, wawa (water), hieee (hi), huu see (horsie), bubbles, ball, nana, he tries to say doggie but hes not quite there yet it sounds more like dada, he sings "ee na, ee na" for "clean up clean up".. the song, current word today he was trying to say was "eyes", and im sure there are a couple others im forgetting or we still have not deciphered what they are yet lol.  For the words above he can say them really well and most people know what hes trying to tell them. Its so sweet because he says hi to everyone and it is literally the cutest voice you have ever heard (@tessaarmstrong8, video posted on instagram of him saying hi).    He points to everything still, he is sleeping 12 hours at night still 7pm to 7am, takes 2 naps that are each 1.5-2 hours long and is quite possible transitioning to just 1 nap soon, he loves to water the grass at our new home, his new favorite thing is drawing on everything (i.e. the walls, the floor, every piece of paper and toy he can find and even little kids at the park haha) ..don't worry he doesnt realize i close off the colored pencil so nothing really comes out.  Today he thought he was coloring with my chapstick. He cracks us up every single day.  He has learned where his eyes, nose, head, mouth, peepee, boobies, and belly button are.

Cash's 6 Month Old Photo Shoot: Happy Half Birthday Love!

Cash's 6 Month Old Photo Shoot: Happy Half Birthday Love!

Photography by Kelsey Steindler



Okay, I think I could possibly just die right here right now on my computer.  I just opened these photos this morning and my heart is exploding, I can barely hold back the tears, I'm smiling so big, and my stomach is a little queazy! Haha, that might be a strange reaction but for you mamas you know exactly what I'm talking about.  I'm a bit queazy because I just love this little so much & a quiet voice in the back of my head creeps up here & there (usually in sentimental moments) & tells me to fear change.. "hes going to grow, hes going to be different one day, hes going to be a little boy and then a teenager and not smile at me the same way he does now".  Its foolish, i know.  But that voice is there telling me to fear change. I acknowlege it, and then I have to just let it go and enjoy the moment, appreciate right now and give the future to God. I have no idea what he will be like, he might be the worlds greatest teen that adores and loves his mama and still wants to cuddle and be my besty (okay okay, thats sort of creepy).  But really, its going to be beautiful either way, I need to just embrace each stage and not allow that tiny voice to wonder so far ahead into the future.  Its funny because I have been embracing each stage and loving it naturally..so where does this fear even come from? Every stage has been better than the last! I love the way hes grown, I adore how he is able to interact with me and others and his laugh is just the best thing I've ever witnessed in this entire world.
 Ahh, the irrational fear we all face. 

Any how lets get back to swooning over these incredibly adorable pics! I know I am biased because well, I am his mama! But Kelsey Steindler Photography did SUCH an amazing job taking his half birthday photos. She is an angel and my little guy just adores her, she makes his laugh and flirt and smile like crazy! I am so blessed by her and thankful she captured these precious moments.  She is the sweetest sister I could ever ask for and so talented and easy to work with. I highly recomend you check out her website for your baby photos, maternity, christmas, birthdays, weddings, portraits, engagements, etc.  She has pretty much captured every important moment of my adult life on camera, moments that I will be able to hold onto forever and reflect back on these incredibly special memories. I  cannot thank her enough! 

I know you will enjoy these.. who wouldn't! I might be sitting here crying for a few days but I hope today this little angel brings some joy to you and a smile to your face. 

































Happy Half Birthday my sweet little Cash! Hes 7 months tomorrow (GAHHH!)
