Mother's Day Gift...

I am not big on holidays where you are expected to get something because you have to. I have never liked Valentine's Day because I feel like you should value your spouse through out the entire year, and not have to buy flowers on Febraury 14th. So when my first Mother's Day came around I sort of had the same feelings, so Craig and I decided that on Mother's Day and Father's Day we would have a family day or weekend and the person being honored gets to decided what we would do. What I wanted was pictures with my sweet boy, however, we haven't had a chance to take them. Yesterday, I finally got my pictures with my precious Mason that I will cherish forever. I have to say Craig is becoming a great photographer! This is how Mason gives his mommy a kiss!

Mason and Brody...

Mason finally got to meet Brody today. Brody's mom, Leann, and I taught at Hughes together. Brody is 2 weeks older than Mason. It was fun to see them together. They are both adorable. Here is a picture Stefanie took on her phone for us. They actually look like they could be related.

Blocks...

GiGi and I bought Mason some soft, squeaky blocks yesterday at Target. He obviously can't grab them yet, but he loves the colors and the noise. Plus, they make a great prop for cute pictures. Here are a couple of Mason having fun on the floor in one of my favorite outfits! Notice his thumb in between his index and middle finger. He does that all the time.

This is the look I get all the time now when I bring out my camera. He sees the big camera and looks like a deer in headlights! He laughs and plays but when he sees that camera he just stops!

What Happened to My Little Boy?

Everyone has told us from the beginning to enjoy every minute because they grow up so fast, and that is so true. I can't believe how big he is. I would love to see another baby his exact age because I think he is really big for his age. He looks like a little man. Here are a couple of recent pictures from the week. Look at our big boy holding his head up!

Here is Kelli and Mason. Kelli stops by every week to see Mason. She is so good with him. Thanks for loving our sweet boy Kelli!

One of his great expressions!

This is the face he makes when he is concentrating. So cute!

Daily Bath Time...

Taking a bath every night before bed is part of Mason's routine. I know I love being clean before I go to bed, so I assume he does to. He always makes the funniest faces when I am rinsing him off with the water. He really likes it even though his facial expressions don't quite show it. Notice I have to cover him up when I spray him. I guess he gets so relaxed he just wants to pee all over the place. Craig and I both have gotten a few showers of our own during bath time.

Memorial Day Weekend...

We had a busy weekend, as GiGi left on Saturday:-( and Grammie came on Sunday:-). On Saturday we went to Craig's dad's (Daddy Jim) house and our sweet friends Philip, Liah, and Morgan came over to see us.

Morgan is adorbable! She turned ONE on May 12th, and is walking!

This is Mason sleeping while Morgan was playing.

Morgan wanted to see Mason while he was sleeping.
Great expression from Mason!

Mason looks like a Chunky Monkey!

I hope he keeps his Mommy's blue eyes!

Daddy and Mason match! Blue looks great on both of them:-)
