Cash's last week as a 1 year old

Cash is such an amazing little boy sometimes I forget he isn't 2 already. The past year has been a really amazing one for this little guy. Cash has learned to walk, talk, run, talk more. He has moved from a crib to a big boy bed. And gotten a new brother. He is getting more and more independent and can do so much more on his own. He is also starting to recognize things like when he goes to the bathroom in his diaper and when he has feelings (like sad or happy).
He is such a special boy. I am sad he is growing up but also glad that he is getting bigger and getting to experience new fun things as a bigger boy.
Some things that Cash really likes now:
His dummies - of course! He now keeps his dummies in a "dummy bag" that is attached to the guard on his bed. We try to keep the dummies for use in the car and at bed and nap time but sometimes he sneaks them out. He also thinks he's pretty sneaky when he puts Cooper's dummies in his mouth.
His blanket. This blanket has healing powers and also makes going to bed and taking a nap so much easier.
Mimi & Danny. Who knew that these two would still be at the top after all this time. They do everything togehter.
Firetrucks - or any sort of transportation or construction vehicle.
Coloring. He loves to sit on the floor and color in coloring books or draw on his new easel. this is really something that we can all do together.
Asking questions. Cash asks questions nonstop! Often the questions have no answers, like, "what are you doing mommy." It is fun trying to come up with answers for Cash - because he'll keep asking questions until he gets an answer he likes.
Candy or sweets. Lollipops are his new favorite. Good thing he also likes tangerines and raisins too.
Cash still does not love to brush his teeth and would go forever without a bath if we let him.
We'll have a little party at Sylvia's house on Friday with his friends Emma, Gabby and Austin and then we'll wait to have a family party when Sarah, Bobby and Allison get here.
