Where has the time gone?

Cash is 9 months old today.

I found this quote the other day and it's oh so fitting for everything that we've been through, seen and shared these past 9 months.

It was the tiniest thing I ever decided to put my whole life into.

-Terri Guillemets

I'm sure he'll kill me for this one day, but he LOVES to walk his cute lil' naked butt to the bath at night.

He has brought so much joy into our lives and it has been such an amazing journey already.  It is so cool to see him learn and figure things out, and we love to see how excited he gets when we clap and cheer for him.

At 9 months old he's done/doing some pretty cool things!  We're working on our 6th tooth, have been crawling for a solid month, we're pulling ourself onto/up on everything, we love bathtime and we're pretty sure he'll be walking by the end of next month. He also barely wants anything to do with baby food cause he has to feed himself most of the time. Oh and he gives mommy kisses, much to dad's disliking, he's got a soft spot for her already.

So much room in my new 'big boy' car seat!

Thanks Cash for teaching mommy and daddy so many fun things.  We're so excited for the best thats yet to come!

How many is too many...really?

I realized the other day when I ordered Cash's 20th pair of shoes, that he has a slight shoe addiction.  Ok so maybe it's not so much Cash with the shoe addiction, but Mama with a shoe addiction.

The shoes that should be coming any day...how CUTE are these?

The "Shoe Shelf" in his closet is literally full!  I had to move up to a different rack to start putting his sandals (yes I know it's cold).

Maybe it's because they're so cute and tiny or maybe it's because boys clothes can start to look the same after awhile, but you can always change up the shoes.  Maybe it's because I'm just flat out addicted to shopping for anything Cash related.  Either way...he's got some pretty sweet kicks!  And I'm sooo excited that his tiny little feet are finally growing.  That's right, I think we've finally made it into size 3 and he's got plenty of those to choose from! So we packed away 3 pairs and are ready to wear out those size 3's!!

Here are a few of my faves!

Just like Daddy's!

These little shoes have squeakers in them. We'll see how long the squeaker lasts!

Side note - I DID NOT buy all of these...most of them, but not all :)  And for those who don't know me all that well, I'm quiet the bargain shopper and have yet to pay full price for any of these.  Maybe if they were full price he wouldn't have as many!?!? 

Oh and how could I forget.  Cash is not only crawling (now on all fours), but he recently started pulling himself up onto everything!  And I think we figured out why there have been so many sleepless nights...we see two more teeth coming through.  Finally, no more fangs :)

Forgot to post this a few weeks back.  Now that he's almost 9 MONTHS old...better late than never, right?  Oh and notice his first shiner...a puzzle got the best of him.

Running Running Running

We have a mover in our house and he is into EVERYTHING! Pretty sure he follows mommy wherever she goes and loves to go where he isn't supposed to.

I think Cash also finally realized that we do a lot of running! He loves to stand up and walk around, with our help of course, and just recently found the love of running :) Ok maybe we should call it walking fast.  He just giggles and giggles and hi-steps to keep up!

Sorry for the butt shots of mommy.  We're still trying to figure out our new Flip video camera and daddy's angle wasn't the greatest..

We're so excited that we're going to begin the finishing of our basement!  Hopefully sometime next week there will be drywall going up (hopefully).  It'll be fun to take pictures and share the progress. The thing we're (I'm) most excited about, we'll finally have a toy room for the toy store that is currently consuming our Living Room.
