After months and months of stealing other people's fingers to get to where he wants to go, Mason is finally getting the confidence to do it on his own! Go Mason!

And in the same day Mase decided he was going to sing his first and pretty much only word all day long! It was so cute!

Rough Day For My Little Man!

Usually I can put Mason right down after a song and he will go right to sleep, but today he decided to make things a bit more difficult.  It has been a while since I've had to let him cry himself to sleep.  When I walked in to check on him after he'd stopped crying, I found him like this totally asleep.  His legs were straight out in front of him and he was bent over clutching his favorite blanket.  My poor little buddy!

 

After his nap, Mason decided he would empty all of his toys from the basket.  I thought it was cute so I had to take a picture, but I had no idea he would take it to the next level... (see the next picture).

Mason actually climbed into the basket (probably against his will, although he wasn't crying at all).  I was laughing so hard!!! He just gets cuter and more fun every day!

My Little Helper!

I folded a load of laundry and piled everything neatly into the laundry basket so that I could put it away while Mason took his nap. It was driving me crazy that there were dirty dishes in my sink, so I left the basket in the family room with Mason. I expected to hear him crying in less than one minute of my leaving because he has some sort of separation anxiety. :o) After loading the dishes into the dishwasher I decided to peak on him as I hadn't yet heard a peep. There he was unloading the laundry basket. One by one he picked one article out of the basket, shook it, and dropped it onto the floor. What a helper!


I think he knew he was being a "good" boy because when I called his name to take a picture, he had no problems smiling for me. I was laughing so hard. I am sure there will be many more of these kinds of stories to tell!

Mmmmmm! It's so good!

It is so much fun to feed our little guy. When you feed him he tells you exactly what he thinks of his food by saying Mmmmmmmm after almost every bite. It is too fun to be apart of so we took this video so you could be apart of it too. Enjoy!

Boy do we love our little boy!

Fun With Cousins in New Mexico!

Mason just loves "little people". When he sees anyone close to his size walking he reaches for them with his arms outstretched and his hands opening and closing.  He really enjoyed his visit with his cousins!

Mason with Blaise and Keagan!

Mason with Jacy! She was his second mom the whole trip! She stayed right by his side!

Mason and Asher! Mason loved the attention Asher paid him!

The weather was pretty nice in New Mexico so we walked to the park.  Mason had his first turn on a swing all by himself.  He couldn't stop smiling! It was so darn cute!
