I Want It

Cash got tons of exercise today with MorMor.

He can now skooch (or kind of plop) over the boopy.

Here he is (very scientific time lapse photography) stalking, hunting and capturing his prey (a stuffed lion).

MorMor Is Back!

She spent about 15 minutes asleep this afternoon, Cash spent about 20 minutes. I hope he sleeps well tonight . . .

One Busy Day

Things have been very busy lately.

Buttin and I don't get to see much of each other and we rarely (if ever) get the opportunity to see a movie together. If you know us, you know that we love movies and they're important to us.

Our favorite theater is the Alamo Drafthouse and pre-baby Graby you could find us there on any given Friday night with our friends, Liz and Jonathan. Alamo has this cool thing for parents called "baby day" where the first afternoon show of every movie on Tuesday is for parents with small children (they get in free). They keep the lights on a little higher and the sound a little lower and you don't have to worry about inconveniencing other people because you have a crying baby.

So -today was our first movie out as a family. Cash's first movie in the theater was R-rated, aren't we good parents?

Here he is with Buttin:

Cash slept during most of movie and was a very good baby. There were several other parents of tiny infants in attendance - I think the smallest was a month old. Ahh . . .I remember when Cash was only a month old.

As if that wasn't enough excitement for one day (we also went to work in the morning), Cash and I went out to dinner with my friend Suzin and her two children.

Her daughter Taylor was so sweet with Cash. She held him for about 10 minutes and when he would fuss she would pull him closer and pat him on the tummy. She's better with Cash than many adults. She also left me a message after dinner talking about all the things she has waiting for Cash at her house for when she gets to babysit him. Such a sweetheart.

Here they are:

We got home around 6:30 and Cash was exhausted. Tomorrow should be more relaxing. MorMor is coming into town so Cash will have every single one of his wants met, instantly.

30 For 30

I have a TV recommendation!

Buttin and I started watching 30 for 30 this weekend. It's an ESPN documentary series - featuring 30 sports stories by 30 different film makers.

We watched the Guru of Go and Buttin and I were reduced to blubbering fools & I don't even like basketball that much. I slept through the middle part of Run Ricky Run (hook'em horns), but Buttin said it was fascinating (and the parts I stayed awake for were great). These documentaries make the little feature stories they do during the Olympics look like junior high journalism pieces.

Now, a little picture of my athlete (I've got my fingers crossed for curling):

My New (to me) Car, A Run & A Video

I now have a car that can hold a car seat (because the Mustang just wouldn't really work) and now Buttin can have his truck back. Apparently, my new car has quite the history - Buttin was told that some man was shot and killed over it (not IN it, just about it). I can't imagine a more lame thing to die over - a 2006 Chevy Equinox. I'm thinking that it's some kind of Darwin Award Story.

Here's a little picture - I don't have a name for her yet, but I'll have one soon.


For the first time in several weeks I went for a short run this morning. It was unbearably disgusting, but it felt good to be moving. My legs felt a little like jello when I got home, even though I only went two miles.

Now, a cute little video of Graby.

Just A Little Picture

Here's the Cash Man!

Message From The White House

I read on the interwebs way back when Cash was still Lumpy that if you send a birth announcement to the White House, you will receive a response. I thought it'd be cool to have a note from the President for Cash's baby book, but didn't really expect anything.

We received our response yesterday! It's just a little form card, but it was hand addressed (I'm sure by Michelle herself) and regardless of your feelings about Obama - I think it's pretty special.
