Soon he'll be doing back flips

I have no photo of this yet but Cash has begun to pull himself up from a sit to a stand. He did it for the fist time last Friday. Now, he does it all the time. The major problem with this is that he does it on things that aren't the most stable, like the empty laundry basket and such. His major driving force to stand is that there's a whole new world 2 feet up that he hasn't had in his mouth yet. He's slowly changing that, one lick at a time. His second new favorite thing is to smash my face with his open mouth and crack up laughing. I'm glad someone enjoys it. He had peas today for the first time. Yay, his barf was green instead of white! He has had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, bananas, and now peas. None of which he liked at all. He still spits everything out and chews on the spoon. If I do manage to get something past his tongue and he is forced to swallow, he closes his eyes and makes a super cute shudder/shiver/cringe. I feel like I'm torturing him but everyone keeps telling me he just needs practice. It's pretty cute how he manages to cover every inch of his face with food. He's an artist. Well, maybe my next entry will be about Cash walking. Hopefully not, I'm not even close to being ready for that. He's growing too fast.

Super Baby!


Cash is crawling. For the last few weeks he's been getting up on all fours and doing push-ups and downward dogs but last Thursday he took off. I was at work at the store and I took him out of the carrier to mop and he shot across the room like an old pro. His favorite toy is any bottle of water. He'll cross any distance for a chance to chew on one. He made a 9 month old baby cry yesturday at a party after he stole his empty Aquafina bottle and tried to eat his shoe. He's licking the corner of my laptop as I write this. Soon I'll figure out how to post video and I'll show you how amazing he is. In the mean time, here is a shot of him crawling for a bottle. Crazy baby.

Cash's first solid food







It was rice cereal very diluted with milk. He seems to like it, at least he likes to eat the spoon.

Half a year old already!







He's such a cool kid. He cracks us up. Talking and yelling is his new favorite thing. He is beginning to reach for people and point. Each day he learns something new.

Sick Boy


Cash has been sick all weekend. He has an ear infection and a bad cold and asthma. He looks so sad. He's all slimey and his eyes are red. Poor baby. He is still super happy and fun considering how bad he must feel.

Sitting up


He sits with no problem now. He's been able to sit for a month or so but now he can do it with easy and without help. I love these leg warmers on him.

Cash is HUGE! He is 5 and a half months old and 18.8lbs. We call him the Michelin Man. You can't even see his diaper in this pic.
