Stride-to-Ride Lion

I'm obsessed with toys. Everytime I go to the store I have to look at the toys and sometimes let Mason pick out which one he likes. This one wasn't actually an impulse buy. Mason loves to stand and he'll walk while holding your hands so I figured he'd like this lion.

Bubbles

Mason had his first bubble bath with California Baby bubble bath It even came with a wand to blow bubbles. Mason was fascinated with them and even caught a couple.



It might be too small to see, but he actually has a bubble in his hand

I love this one

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!

8 months photoshoot




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

Uncle Lloyd, Aunt Jayme, Jordan and Mason

So cute!
