{5 months :) }

5 months!!! 

On July 17th, our little love-bug turned 5 months old, and I repeat, the time is flying by!!! So many fun things are happening with him. Every day he does/discovers/likes something new. We are having so much fun!

Here are just some more shots of our "hanging out" the past few weeks.....

He is doing a lot more sitting up - in the bumbo and his excersaucer :)..... 

We are still running lots of errands together, and Oliver is getting better at being content in his stroller for longer periods of time :)

We did some more swimming at our friends house in Palm Springs last week.....

...and Oliver even took a little poolside nap....

 (2 disclaimers - 1) it was HOT (100 degrees), but he was in the shade the whole time and never got over-heated, and 2) I was right by his side for his entire nap, so there was no worry about falling in :/)

He is a whirly-gig and is never in the same spot when I check on him as when I set him down....

And attacks his toys with his little monkey feet all day long (when they aren't in his mouth - lol)......

And we have also been having a great time with our family and friends. This particular shot of Oliver and his Grandma (my husbands mom) truly warms my heart....

...and look at this stylish little butt....

..a little fancy jean-butt never hurt anyone ;)

So, all in all, we have been having a blast! Ollie rolled over for the first time too and it is too adorable to watch him try to do it again and again. Once he's on his tummy, he doesn't like it, but getting there is FUN! Up next - rice cereal! I'll let you know how it goes :)

Now for the home......we are "almost" unpacked inside (ha!!) and still have the garage to tackle, but I promise to show you some good stuff soon. I am on the hunt for a coffee table that a) is smaller in stature than the one I have (that currently is taking up every inch of space in the new "den"), and b) doesn't break the bank.

I am of course IN LOVE with this one from West Elm.....

The Origami Coffee Table

...and it is currently "on sale" (which means it's down from $399 to $319, which is sadly still TOO much for me), so I am on the hunt for something similar but cheaper. I know....good luck to me ;)

More again soon
:) I hope you've been having a great weekend!

{Almost 5 months CRAZY!}

Craziest hair ever!!!!

Oliver Cash is almost 5 months old (on the 17th to be exact) and where has the time gone!!!?? Seriously. The time is flying by like wild fire. It's nuts. So much has happened in the last month. We have been having so much fun.

We took Oliver swimming for the first time at a local "Beach Club" pool....

 He absolutely loves the water and I can't wait until he's a little bigger and really starts splashing around.

Shortly after that first swimming excursion, we went with some friends for our first weekend adventure to Lake Arrowhead. Oliver did great. He slept on the way up and back. He went in the lake, explored, and slept in his pack n play for the first time....

It was a lot of fun to be away and to have a very well behaved little one. :) We were so proud of him!

He finally "found his toes" and has been doing a ton of this.....

...and it cracks me up EVERY time!

We celebrated the 4th of July with a foggy beach day and evening fireworks. They actually lulled him to sleep, which is pretty amazing to me....

Our Red-white-&-blue gnome - LOL :)

It was a great day full of family and festive fun!

He's been doing great napping and snoozing and I soak in all of his precious sleepy moments....I am in love with him when he sleeps so cozy :)....

All in all it's been a wonderful month!

I'll be back soon with some home decorating updates. It is starting to come together (finally) :)

Happy Summer!
