It has been a hectic fun filled 5 weeks since our last post! I will continue to encourage Matt to post as I think 1. He should share in the responsibility of keep y'all updated! and 2. His insights are quite witty :) So I have no clue where to begin. I think the easiest thing to do is to just start writing and let's see where that leads us, shall we?
Cassidy LOVES to eat. She may look like her daddy but she is her momma's child! Usually on the weekends we stroll through Whole Foods where she charms the folks working into feeding her tidbits of bananas, watermelon, kiwi, pineapple, strawberries, blueberries,
breads,tortillas...we have two meals before we leave :)
And we stock up on fresh veggies and fruits that we cook, blend, and freeze for the week for her food. Usually I like to mix in whatever organic baby food is on sale. She is lovin the Yo-Baby yogurts! This week we're going to try fish with her too. She loves avocados, homemade cornbread, and whatever I may let her snag off my plate. She has swift hands and a keen eye so I have to watch my plate like a Hawk!
Cass loves daycare. We could not be happier with Saint Marys. A bit of drama did unfold! Rumors were leaked that corporate (Saint Marys Hospital Board) wanted to sell the daycare to build a cancer center, letting all of the staf go and free to reapply for their jobs at a lower rate of pay if they decided to open the daycare in a different place. Ooowee did us parents mobilize quick! We were complaining and writing letters and planning to picket and calling the news stations. Then a letter came out dispelling the rumors a few days later. The new rumor is that a few prominent surgeons with kids at the daycare caused their own uproar and by "our powers combined" are kids are still being watched in a fabulous facility with top notch caregivers :)
If you haven't heard yet, or seen the ridiculous photo, Cass' best friend is a little boy named Deacon :) Deacon's mom Jeni and I went to the same nursing group while we were on leave, then ended up at the same daycare. So they have been buddiess since birth. If one cries, the other cries. They hold hands often. They chew and salivate over the same toy at the same time. It's almost out of control! And as you can imagine, Daddy is trying not to freak out over this futuristic glimpse of his daughter's affinity to charm the boys! There will be a photo of the two of them below.
Cassidy is trying to walk. She is frustrated at her lack of mobility. She teases us with crawling, then won't do it for days. She likes to climb over people and things to reach shiny objects or tempting foods just out of her reach. Her Great Aunt Mary Jo hand crocheted an incredible blanket and adorable sweater that we use almost daily! Cassie is indeed the envy of all of her friends!
As of yesterday's frantic trip to the dr (she had a fever and turns out the flu) Cass weighs 20lbs. And we hang out with other mommies and babies at least once a week. That's the update for now! The Smith Fam will be more diligent in updating this blog :)
Love to All
