9 Month Pictures

Mason doesn't officially turn 9 months old for a few more days, but we went and had his pictures taken already. They turned out so cute! Love my little man!

I am in love.

Crawling!

I love this picture! Such a sweet face!!

Clapping!

Of course he had to put his fingers in his mouth...

And then show us a lovely fish face!

He was smiling at Grandma Jepson!

He wasn't so sure about this chair...

And then he was done...

Getting fussy...

Yaaawwwwn...

Then daddy started playing with him and he perked up again!

A very happy Mason!

His GQ pose

 One of my favorite things in this picture - the dimples on his hand.

 I can't believe my itty bitty baby is going to be nine months old next week!

P.S. THANK YOU MOMMY AND BRADLY FOR COMING TO HELP WITH PICTURES!!

As of late...

Mason has become much better at only taking two naps a day. And I still love the way he sleeps!

 Lunch time is always a happy time!

 He figured out how to open the dresser drawer in the office closet!

Trying to figure out how to reach everything up on the shelves.

 He will spend FOREVER trying to pull the buckle out of his car seat.

I about died laughing when I saw that I caught this face on camera! :)

His second tooth popped through only a few days after his first one. Thank goodness because I thought teething was going to be the death of me.

No clothes + rubber spatula = Happy Mason!

Sadly, Mason has been afraid of the vacuum since he was born. This morning he built up enough courage to go touch it! 

 

Mason loves playing with the foam blocks that Grandma Jepson gave him for Christmas!

 ...So do I

 ...then I gave up because destruction came crawling through.

How does this happen?

First he crawls over to the pool and flips it on it's side...

 ...Then the pool comes down over the top of him...

 ...He then crawls away as fast as he can so he doesn't get stuck underneath it...again.

And this cracks me up. It is the, "Mom, why do you take so many pictures?" look.

I just love him!

Mason on the Move!

Last night Mason figured out how to crawl. He looks silly doing it, but he can go wherever he wants!

This morning I ran to the bathroom and came out to find him in the office closet, behind the door.

He has already taken everything off of our entertainment center shelves.

He has discovered that he loves this table in the living room.

Great for playing with...

and for chewing.

He is still lazy though - he'll only crawl as far as he needs to, then he will stretch out his body and try to reach the toy he is after. 

I'm glad we have already baby proofed the house, but I have a feeling I am in for some trouble now that he is on the go!
