The Luebbert's: My Cute Little Man

This past Friday, Cash turned 8 weeks. He is doing all sorts of wonderful new things. He is tracking so much better than before. He has begun batting at things on his activity mat, he's much more talkative, more and more awake, and he's starting to put his hand in his mouth more than he used to. Friday he actually found his thumb! I quickly took it out and he put it right back in. I took it out again and gave him his pacifier. He has forgotten where his thumb is and hasn't been able to find it since! His PAT lady was here today for our second visit. She says that Cash is right on target. She noticed that he has also begun working his fingers in a pinching motion. She said it will take much more time to develop, but he has started. She said she can tell such a difference in him since her last visit. I don't know if she had more fun with Cash or with Howie though. She adores Howie (and how could you not?). They played fetch and he got all kinds of lovin from her.
I have always said I was not going to be a parent that puts my children in front of the tv and I am sticking to that. But Baby Einstein has a dvd for 3+ months called Baby Mozart. Ryan and I purchased it this weekend, thinking he wouldn't even be interested in it for another month, but we put it in anyway to see what it was all about and Cash LOVED it. He cooed and gurgled and let out screams. I told Ryan this is a once a day activity. I don't want the tv babysitting him, nor do I want him to be a couch potato like his parents! :) I think this is where the teacher in me comes out. It is limited, yet educational.
Here are some pictures of Week 7. Enjoy!
