Time for a Haircut

Well we've made it to that stage...out of control hair!  This is what Cash's hair looked like last night after bath time, pretty long and crazy.  It's even more crazy when he wakes up with it sticking straight up in the morning.

So we called up Aunt K and took him in to get his "ears lowered".  He was such a big boy. The only time he got a little antsy was when he couldn't find his toy.  He did so good...we even heard that he did better then most two year olds.  That'a boy!

 Not to much off the top, please.

Thanks Aunt K.  My new haircut looks great!

There really hasn't been to much going on at our place.  Cash man is still on the GO and in to everything.  We've officially started to "Cash Proof" the house.  I think our next investment will be something to keep the toilet lid shut and the toilet paper on the roll. 

Or we'll just start putting him in boxes.  He doesn't seem to mind them to badly.

We're also one step closer to a little walking terror.  He's "starting" to stand on his own and will take a step or two before falling down on his buttski.  It's to cute, he gets so excited that he loses it after no more then two steps.  But for now he'll just keep chugging away with his walker.  He's now a pro at it!!

Check out the new dump truck mom and dad got me for Valentine's Day. I love to push things around these days!

10 Month Pics

We had Cash Man's 10 month pics taken last weekend with Sarah Nebel and she had him rockin' that photo shoot!

Here is the photo book I created on Shutterfly of his pics.

Aunt K is cutting his hair on Wednesday.  Can't wait to see how this goes!!

Oh Piggies

We ventured out to lunch yesterday for Great Grandma Cole's birthday.  While there Grandpa Rodney mentioned bringing Cash out to see some of the new baby pigs and cows, so we took him up on it.

It was pretty funny to see Cash's reactions to the little guys, well the cow was obviously bigger then him, let's just say he wasn't to thrilled.

We took him in to watch Grandpa feed the calves. He started to take things in until he brought one out. Then he got a little uneasy. 

He even got to "ride" one!

Then we walked down to get face to face with a piglet.  Just his size!  I don't really think he knew quiet what was going on, but don't worry Grandpa one day he'll LOVE going to see the baby animals.

Look how excited Grandpa was

Snow Day!!

Holy snow!  I don't think I've ever seen this much snow after one night in my whole life.  It is absolutely crazy out there.  They finally came and cleaned off one single lane of our street around noon today.  The street that goes east/west just across from us is still snowed shut.  Good thing dad bought a snowblower this weekend.  It may have taken us (ok him) hours to dig out the driveway.

Finally got to wear my carharts.

Dad and Mom got a night to themselves last weekend when they hit the Casino with Uncle Brent and Kari to see 38Special.  We had a room so of course we had to take advantage of the pool!  Cash wasn't so excited about it, the temp wasn't that great, so that may have had a lot to do with it.

 My first faux-hawk!

I think I heard Nick say a second ago "kid, you're getting ornerier by the second." Boy is that true.  I don't think he knows the meaning of the word 'no', is now spitting his food at us, constantly playing in the blinds and giggles at us when he's in trouble.  At  least I can say we had a good nine month run :)

Cash really liked the spagetti, to bad most of it was in his lap.

Cash had his nine month check up last Friday.  His current stats: 20.11 lbs and 31" tall. Dr. Christensen said that he's in the 95% for his height and the 65% for his weight.  Tall and skinny, just like daddy!!

We hope everyone stayed safe in the recent 'blizzard'.  I hope we don't get that much snow again anytime soon!

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.

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.
