Baby Cousins

Last week we went to New Jersey to visit my dad and family. My Step-brother and his wife had come from Texas to visit with their daughter Jenna. Jenna was born 5 days after Mason. They would of had the same birthday since my induction date was Dec 30, but Mason decided to come before then.

Let's Stand

So Mason has been able to pull up to a stand, but I can NEVER catch it on video. I would stalk him with the video camera and the second I turned my back he would be standing. I think he was just trying to drive his mama crazy.

8 months

So Mason turned 8 months yesterday. He crawls, babbles (love hearing him say mama), has two teeth with more on the way. He can get himself into sitting position and can pull himself up to stand. Before I know it he'll be standing without holding onto anything! We're not even going to mention the "W" word. I'm not ready for that!

I'm still behind on some 7 months photos but I wanted to post this before he's 9 months! The rest of the 7 month pictures will be coming soon as well as some videos.

Today is also our 2 year wedding anniversary! Boy has life changed.

fun with big cousin Jordan

Mason's big cousin (technically 1st cousin once removed - but cousin is easier) lives not even an hour away. They have met a few times, but this time Jordan showed a lot of interest in Mason. It was so cute.

He pushed him on the swing

We even tried to get the dog in on the action

Somehow we actually got a good picture of a 5 year old, 7 month old, and crazy 3 year old lab

looks who's standing

Mason loves to stand. He is now strong enough to stand while holding on to a toy or someone's hands. He can even pull himself up to a stand depending on the level of the object he is using. What happened to my newborn baby boy?

swinging friends

We went to the park with my friend Heather and her daughter Savannah. Savannah is a month older than Mason and is so photogenic. We are already planning their wedding :)

Beardsley Zoo

We went to the zoo a couple weekends ago and Mason got to meet his friend Jayden. They are two weeks apart and seemed quite interested in each other.

Here he was being a prairie dog. Chris and I have pictures of ourselves in things like these at the Bronx Zoo from when we were little.

The boys

First carousel ride
He got scared and threw himself towards me

At the end of the day Mason was grumpy and Jayden was napping
