8 months old!
Wow! Time really is flying by! Cash is eight-months-old today, preparing to crawl and bubbling over with personality. Mick and I are eating it all up!
Cash now has five (yes, five!) teeth, three top and two bottom. The other day, to my surprise, I went to get him from a nap and there he was, sitting up in his crib. Let the baby-proofing begin!
Speaking of baby-proofing, we had our first semi-major injury last week. I was making Cash's breakfast with him in one arm and the hot pan in the other, when Cash decided to reach out with his lightning fast grasp and palm the pan! Needless to say, within seconds we were both in hysterics. Within minutes Mick was on his way home from work, my sister was walking in the door on the phone with the paramedics and her partner was pulling up to the house in a police car. The gentleman who cares for our lawn was quite puzzled by the fiasco. Anyhow, much to my relief, the doctor assured me that Cash's hand was ok, despite the second-degree burn, and will function just fine in the future. He also told me to let myself off the hook for making the mistake, which is better than him calling CPS for my foolishness. (I know it's silly, but it did cross my mind!) The most amazing part was that later that afternoon, Cash was using his hand like normal and didn't seem to think anything was wrong. Boy, kids really are resilient!
Anyway, we have been so blessed these passed eight months to have such a sweet, joyful and funny little man in our lives. Looking forward to more adventures...just hopefully not many that include emergency rooms!

So sorry about the accident! You are earning your mommy stripes. So glad he is okay. We grew up with a friend that had a horror situation with a hot pan and her life was never the same. Both you and Cash look great in all the photos! We love and miss you.
Well, you are now in the world of kids where they will try anything at any time! Get prepared!!! You are correct--they are much more resilient than we give then credit for! Mom's have this mechanism God gave them that wants to protect their kids from anything that will hurt them, but sometimes the only way we learn something is to get hurt! Wish it were not so! Lots of Love and Prayers!
So good seeing you guys on skype yesterday. Less than two weeks and counting and then we won't have to skpye, you will be in our living room! Looking forward to your visit.
And happy 8mths Cash!
love, us
