15 Month Update

Well, it's the middle of August and been almost 3 months since the last update.  We have had a pretty busy few months with some changes, but we are all just chugging along!  Cash went to the doctor on Wednesday for his 15 month well visit.  I am glad that Jeff was able to go because he was NOT a happy camper when we left! He was fine and walked down the hallway to the exam room and once we got in there, I think he remembered what goes down when we are there!  He was like a little velcro monkey on Jeff and cried even before he got his two vaccines!  Cash's pediatrician is very happy with his growth...he weighs 25 pounds and 2 ounces and is 33 inches tall!  I am fairly certain that we have a little string bean!  We are still working on table food...Cash is very stubborn (I have NO idea where he got that from) and we know that this is the one thing that he really can control right now.  We aren't too worried about it because he is gaining weight and does eat quite a few things which is good...it gives him lots of energy to GO GO GO!!!  Honestly, Cash is on the go from the moment he wakes up til we make him go to bed!  There are so many days that I am exhausted and look around to see that I have gotten nothing done on my "to do" list and wonder why I am so tired!  If you ever want a good workout, come stay at the Porcaro house for a few days!  Cash will run you ragged! 

Jeff and I finally decided to give Cash another haircut!  We had trimmed his hair back in February or March, but since then it has gone wild!  He is getting lots of waves and curls like his momma and to be honest, he was getting a little mullet in the back!  But he still looked adorable!  I didn't want to cut it because I LOVE the curls and he is still so little, but he sure does look like a big boy now! Here is Cash with his big boy cut, courtesy of Momma!

 Here is Cash's before...yes, this poor kid was running around with all that hair in his eyes! 

 Since I haven't done an update in awhile, I thought I would share some of Cash's favorite things with you!  Here is Cash with some of his favorite foods...

BACON!!!

My little carrot lover!

 Yes, he LOVES carrots!  I'm glad that he likes something so healthy and we always have carrots on hand since we buy two bags a week at the Farmer's Market.  He started to steal them off my plate at lunchtime and now he loves to snack on them while watching some of his shows or if Jeff and I eat dinner later than Cash, we give him some then.  Cash also loves Cheerios...I'm not surprised since I went through a box a week while pregnant with him!  He also likes to snack on veggie chips, cheese Ritz bitz, snap pea crisps and has loved trying out new cookies as a treat!  So far he likes animal crackers, Oreos, Nutter Butters, and Lorna Doone shortbread!



As I mentioned above, Cash is a very busy little boy!  We play all day long and would probably play all night if we let him!  He has really gotten into "hiding" from us and wants us to jump out and say boo!  Here is Cash hiding in the hall from Jeff!

Trying to peek and see daddy!

Cash loves reading his Elmo book...it's a learning book with a zipper, buckle, button, velcro, etc.  Cash's favorite page is the one with Bert on it...Cash is very determined to get Bert's buckle, as you can see below!

And of course, Cash likes to be sassy and get into anything that he shouldn't!  He finally got onto mine and Jeff's trickery with the toy box...we would open the lid and slide it close to the couch so he couldn't close it all the way and climb on...well, he finally got it closed the other day and here he is "playing" on top.  He is giving me the look like, "What, mom???  I'm not doing anything bad!"

We really are having a blast being Cash's mommy and daddy.  Right now, it seems that there aren't enough hours in the day for everything. Jeff has taken a new position at work and is now on midnights.  He is also back in school after taking a semester off.  We are all trying to get used to the new schedule, but I think that Cash likes that daddy comes home in the morning and plays for a little bit before going to bed!  Every morning, Cash hears Jeff opening the door and goes running to the gate saying Daddy!  It's the cutest thing! 

I promise to be better about making more posts.  If I try to schedule it in on the same day every week, it will become part of our schedule and I won't have any excuses!  We miss everyone very much and wish that you all could see how much Cash is growing and learning right now.  Remember that our door is always open and that we love having visitors!  Lots of love from our family to yours!
