My first born, Xander Cash

Alexander Cash Stambaugh aka Xander Cash, Cash Monkey or Xander Bander. 

(We gave him Cash as a middle name after Johnny Cash.) 

Xander will be 4 in October. He is my first born, and a hell of a birth it was. 13 hours of induced labor with two failed epidurals and an emergency C-section where the spinal block stopped working halfway through the surgery. But on October 18th we became parents for the first time. One of the most amazing moments in my life that I will never ever regret. 

Xander is my funny guy. He never wears pants when we are home, and likes to strip in public any chance he gets. He's all into "guy stuff" right now with daily doses of Spiderman, Transformers and Jake The Pirate. He loves his doggies, and next to his little brother they are his bestest friends. I will say he's little bit of an observer instead of jumping right in to new things. He is LOUD though. There is a whole lot of squealing, and screaming and yelling that goes on in this house. Xander is an awesome big brother and is just waiting for the day his little brother Atticus can walk and run with him. (Mommy is too)

Xander also has a special bond with his Aunt Rachel who he calls "Rwha Rwha". Next to his brother "Rwha Rwha" is probably his most favorite person. With Xander there is no early bedtime or sleeping in. This kid rarely naps, and just seems to go, go, go constantly. I can't wait to see how much more awesome this little dude will become.
