Splish Splash!


Mason now exceeds the weight limit for his froggy baby bath tub. He has no room to splash around in his little tub so he now gets his baths in the big bath tub. Me or Jamie get in with him and he has a blast. He has 10 rubber duckies that join him and he kicks and splashes and wiggles all around.

My Boys






Saturday was my birthday and Jamie surprised me with the best present ever. He had Mallory take pictures of him and Mason with matching shirts laying in the grass. They turned out so cute!

Big Boy


Yesterday Daddy weighed and measured Mason. He weighs 17 lbs and is 2 feet tall! He is growing up so fast. Everywhere we go people say "wow he's a big baby." I love how he has such a personality. The other day he was sitting in his boppy chair and stretching his legs to dangle his feet at me because he wanted to play. He wanted me to tickle his toes. He loves to smile and laugh. He can't roll over yet but he rolls to his right side and its like he gets stuck. If I try to help him he gets mad. He's very independent. I think he's starting to understand what kisses are too. When I kiss him he opens his mouth like he wants to kiss back. Its so cute! He loves to be sang to and loves it when we read him books. Today I had to go to the doctor and we read Dr. Seuss. He seemed to really enjoy all of the rhymes. Next week I am going to start him on cereal. The doctor told us to start at 4 months and Mason is 3 1/2 but I want him started before Jamie and I leave for Cancun in a few weeks. Plus I sorta gave him some ice cream the other night and he ate it just like a big boy! It's like he knew exactly what to do. He opened his mouth and wrapped his mouth around the spoon. He swallowed and his eyes got really big! Pretty sure he loves ice cream as much as Mommy and Daddy! You can't really tell in this picture but the background is his growth chart and his head is at the 2 foot mark.

Life of Mason









What's new in Mason's life? Well last week he started making buzzing noises when he presses his lips together. I don't know if he realizes he is the one making the noise because it startles him when he hears it. Mason also does not take naps for us during the day either. He will be up for 12 hours and then sleep for 12 hours. I guess that's okay because Mommy and Daddy get to sleep in! He loves to jibber jabber and you can hear him from the other side of the house now because he is so loud! Tonight we went to Independece to visit Jamie's parents and see all of the work they have done on their new living room and dining room. Mason loves their pretty new lighting. Mason's favorite new playtime activity is to sit on my feet and bounce up and down. I think next week I might try him on cereal. I'm so excited!

Crazy Hair




Last night after Mason's bath Jamie and I decided to style Mason's hair. Usually we comb it down, but we decided to go a little crazy with it. I ran lotion through his hair and spiked it straight up. I can't wait to be able to give him a little mohawk!
