11 Months

Happy 11 months to Mitchell Cash! WOW, it's SO hard to believe that in a month he'll be one year old. It seems like yesterday John and I were on the way to the hospital at 4 AM, saying to ourselves..."We are going to bring a baby home with us...WOW" He is such a joy and makes us smile everyday.
Well we survived our first ear infection. His fever broke after a couple days, but he still wasn't himself for about 5 days. He had some sort of rash all over, it seemed like everytime we went outside into the heat it got worse, but thats gone too. I believe he's back to himself now though.
The last month or so he has learned a lot...he absolutely loves climbing stairs or climbing anything for that matter (see last picture). We don't have any at our house, but as soon as he gets to grandmothers house he heads straight for the stairs as fast as he can crawl. He now pushes cars as if someone was driving them. I think he has learned this from watching his older cousin Nolen playing with his cars!! He is starting to eat more "finger foods" too, he wasn't real sure about the different textures at first, but he's adjusting! He loves older kids...we went to Defeated Creek Saturday to visit mom and dad and there were these two brothers that he just kept crawling to and on HAHA I was just afraid that he was going to bite them. :0) We are still working on the walking thing, but i'm not pushing it. It's hard enough now to keep up with him.
Everyone mark your calendar for the big pool party bash on July 21st to celebrate Mitchell's first birthday. Not sure what time yet, but it will be at my mom's house. (there will be some major cornhole games going on though - a special thanks to cousin Jessica for introducing us to the game, everyone we have let play, becomes addicted instantly!)
No, I'm not putting him in a chokehold! HAHA I was holding him down and tickling him. It's not quite as easy to take pictures of him as it used to be.

CHEEEEESSEEE!!

He loves sunglasses, whether he's wearing them or chewing on them.

Mitchell helping mommy and daddy clean some dishes! John and I were talking to Craig in the kitchen and had our backs turned to him...we turn around and see Mitchell up on the dishwasher just like this. We have a little monkey on our hands!!
