Easter, Blue Bonnets and other random things...

He is risen indeed! We had a great time with Cash on his first Easter. There was an egg-hunt at church and even though we basically just plopped Cash down in front of a few eggs, it was fun to see the excitement of the other kids and know that is just around the corner for us!

After many months of intentioanlly not introducing the pacifier, Cash has suddenly decided to take it...and by that I mean he likes to have it at all times. Yet another example of having the best intentions and yet, somehow the reality is different. I have to admit that my weakness comes at the effectiveness of the pacifier. It is really nice to pop it in and have the fussiness cease. A nice break when your kid has been trying to cut teeth for weeks!

A few weeks ago, a beautiful patch of Blue Bonnets bloomed across the street from our development. It's the Texas state flower and it seems that everyone here takes their kids to get photographed in them. So when in Rome (or Houston, in this case)...Only a few minor sna-foos; I wasn't aware it was illegal to pick them, so Cash and I both plucked a couple (notice I didn't post those pics). I also had to promptly call Mick to have him google "blue bonnet toxicity" because Cash promptly put said plucked petals in his mouth...and swallowed...and then choked. But, alas, a racing heartbeat later, he was fine and I had slimy petals in my hand.
