Everyone loves Uncle Jon. Here he was trying to spend a minute to hold Cash so nicely when he got ganged up on by the other monkeys. Cash is always a good sport about it though.
I love this little onesie. He really is my little man.
Cash learned to sit up and move very quickly. Seems like he is always moving and squirming around. He's always very content to be on his own. He doesn't often demand that I pick him up, or hold him for long periods of time. He does like to have his momma snuggle time though!
Enjoying a day at Bass Lake (or Sandi's beach, as the kids like to call it). Cash wasn't a fan of the sand (or the grass really). He splashed in the water for awhile, but it wasn't his favorite either. He liked to be held and played with. Good thing Keri, Sandi, Jaime and baby Kinley were all there to play and keep everyone company!

Cash loves Grandpa. I think this was at Pioneer day last year. As a baby he's never been a fan of hats, but Grandpa has special privileges.
Look at those beautiful blue eyes.
At Josh and Dorothy's house. Grandpa was going to try to take a nap, but napping is hard when there's such a cute baby just ready to play!
Cash is a busy baby. He's always getting into everything (and I mean EVERYTHING). He keeps me on my toes.
Addison and Cash are best buddies.
Watching the parade!
Cash loves his Grandma. Everyone loves Grandma, but they are easily persuaded to favor another loved one. Cash is different though. He chooses Grandma over almost everyone else (His Momma is still #1)
It didn't take long for Cash to figure out how to stand, and pull himself up onto everything.
He sure loved this toy table.
Learning to eat real food was a bit of a struggle. He still had a cleft pallet, so his tongue movements were quite different than a normal baby. He would automatically thrust his tongue out, pushing out his food. We pretty much had to jam the spoon in his mouth, and almost scrape the food onto the top of his mouth. That resulted in more tongue thrusting, and food coming straight out this nose (since it was completely open to his mouth). It was a frustrating experience for me. Stewart actually did most of the feeding for the first little while. Cash would get frustrated, which made me frustrated, and many of those initial feeding sessions ended with both Cash and I in tears. Stewart had so much more patience than I did. He was calm and collected, and it never really bothered him. He was the reason Cash was doing so well spoon feeding in only a matter of a week or two.
He did so well that even Addison could feed him. And if he didn't like what we were offering, she was happy to clean it up for him and find him something better ;)
My happy baby
One night Stewart was working late so we decided to walk to El Cazador (the best Mexican restaurant here in town). I was a little hesitant to dine in with my three small children, all by myself, but the kids begged and promised they would be good so we did. It was SO much fun! The kids were pretty well behaved, and they loved the atmosphere. They loved that they could eat chips and dip and salsa until their real food came, and that they could drink their entire sprite and get another delivered! Cash loved it too. I fed him the beans and rice and he loved them. He loved being there with us. We laughed and laughed. I can remember just laughing and loving them, and laughing some more. What a good memory. Even though it was intimidating to take the kids out to eat alone, I'm SO glad we did that.
#Cashtheflash wouldn't hold still for his picture. He was just too excited!
Sometimes we like to go eat lunch with Grandma Jensen at work. We usually pick up deli food, or McDonalds and head over for a little picnic. Cash LOVES french fries. I love his little Man bib out of a napkin.
Addison and Brogan always take such good care of their brother. They make sure he's got plenty of food, and that he's happy.
He loves them just as much.
Cash is pretty silly too. He's good at making us all laugh.
