2 Month Well Visit and Dedication

Hey everyone!

Cash has had quite the busy few weeks.  This week he attended his 2 month well child checkup.  He is measuring at the top of the charts for height and weight :)  His pediatrician said that he's going to be a TALL boy!  She kept telling us how lucky we were to have such a calm, attentive baby.  Attentive is an understatement these days.  He can't seem to keep his eyes off of anything that 1) lights up in some way, 2) has bright colors, or 3) is a person or a dog.  He's also "conversing" with people which generally means he stares at you and tries to make a sound and then you copy the sound and he smiles. You can tell he's just dying to be able to interact in any way possible.

Here is 1 week, 1 month, and 2 months....cutie

Hi!  What are you doing right now? Oh, picking your teeth...I'm very interested

Love those chubby cheeks

Last weekend we had Cash's dedication ceremony which was wonderful.  A little on the chilly side but this kid's gotta develop his winter skin soon anyway.  As per usual with Rotach-Beard functions, there was delicious food, crying unabashedly, spilling things, guitars, and lots of love.

Grandma Judy givin' Cash the sauce

Saraphina and her mama Tricia, so good to finally meet her!

Maria and her papa

The shirt we WANTED Cash to wear but he was just a little too snuggly to bother!

Mama gave a little speech 

Mama and Papa

Grandpa Dan and his hat

Maria approves of this message!  And of Patisserie 46 pastries!

The Grandpas give a little welcome

Grandma Judy and "Grandma" Sue

Jim and Margie came too!

Sing-a-long!

Smiles!

Mama surprised Papa with Cash's first bike.  He won't use it for a couple years but it was just too cute to resist.  It's called a "Skuut" and it has no pedals or training wheels...he just wiggles down the road...I die.

Papa's turn to talk

Saraphina dances to the sing-a-long!

Violet too!

We had family members write letters for certain events in Cash's life and we will put them in a little time capsule for him to read later.  Grandma Judy wrote a letter for when Cash falls and skins his elbow/knee for the first time.

Grandpa Dan wrote a letter to Cash the first time he scores a run in t-ball...or any other sport equivalent, or mathletes...whatever)

Grandpa Mike wrote some life lessons for his first fishing trip

Uncle Caleb wrote a letter of inspiration to Cash for his first school dance

Aunt Megan wrote some words of advice for his first day of Kindergarten

Aunt Mindy helped Cash navigate what to do on his first sleepover away from home

And that's it!  Thanks so much to everyone who came and for those who couldn't, we missed you!
