19 Months!

I missed the 18 month update so here is one for Cash's 19th month. His personality and language have definitely exploded lately. He says a lot of words, makes all kinds of animal noises and is repeating most of what we say! Some of my favorite things he says are Please, Thank you, I love you, and most recently, Booty:)

He is really into the little grill and play food he got for Christmas, along with these wooden cars, but his favorite, favorite thing right now is Peter Rabbit on Nick Jr. He will ask for "Pete" multiple times a day.

He loves doing things himself, IE: using utensils and brushing his teeth, but his independence comes` at a cost because the tantrums are killer. I know it's a phase, but man, he can sure act out. Before becoming parents Jake and I would always see kids misbehaving in public and vow that would never be OUR kid. The other day in Walmart Cash had an epic meltdown for no apparent reason (sometimes it's just when he's frustrated) and Jake turned to look at me and said "We are officially those people." 

We are looking forward to seeing Cash's personality continue to develop, especially once he becomes a big brother in 3 months!

Stats at 18.5 months:

Weight: 32 lbs, 99th %

Height: 34 in, 90th %

It's that time of year again!

I feel like the holiday season started early this year because we had so much snow so quickly after Halloween and everyone got in the spirit early! We have been staying with my parents for three months now, while waiting for a job transfer so we are enjoying the season's festivities with family.

Cash met Santa for the first time and he decided he's not much a fan, which I would have bet money on. But we just wanted a picture! Santa was nice enough to sneak up behind us to get this shot. Sneaky:) He said kids Cash's age are the least likely to sit on his lap. I think 18 months is a challenge for more than just Santa....

The tree is decorated and it has a lot of character this year. Holes and all. But we really love it.

There has been some baking going on. Not all of which was successful, but who needs to eat 100 cookies in the month of December anyway?!

The cousins came over and made chocolate dipped pretzels while Cash ate them:)

And we learned a new phrase..."Ho, Ho, Ho!"

May your days be Merry and Bright....

15 Months Old!

(baby's first selfie)

Cash is already 15 months old, crazy.

He not only walks, but runs around, getting into everything, emptying every drawer, cupboard and closet he can reach.

He is currently 30.5 lbs, 32 7/8 in tall.

His vocabulary consists of: Mama, Dada, Nana, Papa, Layla (every dog), more, hi, buh bye, uh oh, baba, cheese, and sometimes Jazi (Yazi).

He is a little energizer bunny from morning to night and usually a good sleeper, sleeping 12-13 hours at a time. Praise God. He also takes a 2 hour nap every afternoon.

He loves dogs, climbing on his dad, being outside, his blanket and paci, his Laugh and Learn Car, and FOOD.

His favorite foods include, cheese, bananas, berries, bread, crackers, green beans and yogurt.

He has 10 teeth, 3 of which are molars that all decided to come in at the SAME time and make him very sick for a good week:(

He is an energetic, happy boy and just as cute as ever:)
