Where to start...

I know it has been so long since we have posted pictures. We went home to the Valley for two weeks. We had such a great time, and enjoyed the opportunity for Mason to meet some of our favorite people. I have a lot of pictures to edit and post as you can imagine. However, here are a couple from Mason's four month pictures. The pictures that are unplanned always turn out the best. He was sitting on the couch and his GiGi was making him laugh! So sweet!

This is his serious look in the midst of laughing.

I am 3 1/2 months old and I...

I smile all the time. I especially love when my daddy gets home from work. I get so excited!
I have discovered my feet. I try to grab them, but they are always moving,

I am a happy baby.

I scratch my head when I am tired, and I always have my hands in my mouth.

Scratching my head again.

I also love to talk.

If I have a hand free, I put it in my mouth. Unfortunately, my teeth are starting to come in. I put my hands in mouth to make my gums feel better.

I get really excited. I often squeal in delight!

I love my burp clothes. I love to hold them and put them in my mouth.

I have discovered the TV. I usually watch sports, but mommy sometimes turns on some cartoons for me. Here I am watching baseball with my daddy.

I also love to give my mommy and daddy kisses. They ask me for a kiss, and I open my mouth real wide. They love it!

Outside...

Mason loves to be outside. Yesterday I was watering my plants, and he was sitting in his bouncy. He looked too cute to pass up the photo opportunity!

My Little Magician...

I have said before that Mason has to be swaddled when he sleeps or he will wake himself up. I have tried many times to put him down without being swaddled and he is awake in 5 minutes. However, when he wakes up he tries to get out of the swaddle. I swaddle him so tight, but no matter how tight I do it he always gets out. Here is how he starts...
This is how I found him this morning after his nap. I don't know how he does it!

Mornings...

Craig and I think we have the happiest baby in the world. As I have said, he wakes up smiling. Here are a couple of shots from early yesterday morning while Mason is playing with his daddy before work.

Playing...

Mason has the sweetest smile. It melts my heart!

One of Craig's friends (Aaron) brought this back from California for Mason. DEER HUNTER IN TRAINING! Thanks Aaron!

These are Mason's new cowboy boot socks. So cute even though they are falling down.

A little smile for his mommy.

Mason is starting to grab things. He loves his activity center from his GiGi and Pappa!

Mason Rolling Over

Here is a video of Mason rolling over and holding his head up. As you can see, he loves to "talk"!
