So much has been happening and I haven't had time to blog about it!
The most exciting is that Mason smiles and giggles ALL THE TIME and we love it! He is so cute and gets so excited about the silliest things (Pictures on the wall, smacking his toys in the monkey bouncer, touching his nose, etc.) His little (but long) arms wave all over the place when he is smiling and it cracks me up!
To date this is the best picture of him smiling that I've been able to capture! My favorite part of the picture is that you can finally see his dimples! We aren't sure where they came from though - no one on either side of our family has them.
(P.S. He finally likes being naked...hence, the smile)
I caught Mason on video during one of his giggle sessions!
Nala likes to do tummy time with Mason and he still likes to just fall asleep instead of do anything. He has to get mad before he will hold his head up or roll over.
Awhile back I was at my mom's house when Brooklynn was in the tub. I was in talking to her when she said, "Get Mason naked and put him in here!" I laughed and told her that he was too little to bathe with her. A few days later my mom and I had the idea to let him bathe with them as long as Payton held him the whole time. The two of them were so cute with him in the tub! Payton held him, Grandma bathed him and Brooklynn poured water on his toes (she felt so important). Mason did great and just relaxed on Payton's lap. After a few minutes Payton and Brooklynn were excited to have him get out so they could actually play, but it was a successful "First Cousin Bath."
Sitting up like a big boy on the couch! He looks so tiny next to Bradly!
I can't believe how big my little man is getting! Being a Mommy is absolutely the best thing in the whole world and I wouldn't trade it for anything!
You should make that last picture of Brad and Mason a regular, or traditional, picture. Take a picture of them, just like this, each month for a year to show baby's growth. And then once a year from then on. NOt necessarily in the same spot, just with Brad on the same side he's originally on. Keep all the pictures together in a little brag book so Mason can see how much he grew and changed from month to month, year to year! I do that with Halloween pictures and Christmas Eve pajama pictures so the kids can see what costumes/pj's they had each year! The kids LOVE it! I also have traditional pictures, that I have yet to put together in a book, of CC and Chelsea standing back to back. The very first picture I ever saw of them was like that. Every chance I got, I took one of them, just like it. They STILL ask me to take that picture whenever we're together! If you look through CC's wedding pictures, you'll see the latest one! It's such a fun tradition! :)
