Mason's Mom...

... loves to make him wear hats. If I couldn't get a pretty girl in flowers, and headbands- I will have a studly boy in ties, and hats. Done, and done.

A Day at Nana's...

We went to Nana's house to go hang out with Jared, Wendy, Don, and the parents last weekend. While we waited for Wendy and Don to come, we decided to wait outside for them, and let Mason play in the grass. He had a fabulous time. Picking grass, eating flowers, at some point, he even ended up shirtless. It was a fun way to pass the time. He has this way of being the center off attention, and bringing a smile to everyone's face. He is a total ham :)

Dessert Anyone?

Yes, my son is completely spoiled rotten. I know, I know. I should have started him young with the word, "No." Seriously, you're preaching to the choir. I always said I would be the meanest mom. But- as it turns out, I am a total softy, and let my adorable kid do pretty much, whatever he wants. Today he wanted some chocolate pudding. Not on a spoon, but on his tray. Not to eat, but to smear all over himself, and his chair. And, as a result, he got his very first bath fully clothed. As you can see from the first picture below, he didn't mind one bit. I have this feeling, his first birthday will probably be the best day of his life. This kid has no problem getting his hands dirty :)

Whicked!

The Whicker blog's a changing... We are now Whicked! It was much too catchy an idea not to implement! Thanks Sara for the idea- we loved it! I will work on more posts more often. I am shooting for weekly, or more. Hold me to it folks! Lots of love.

Nine Months!

Mason is NINE MONTHS old! I am totally serious, in three short months, my son will be one year old. Which makes me feel incredibly old! Time flies with my sweet boy. At nine months Mason loves: The Wiggles, Little Einsteins, crawling everywhere, pulling up on the tv stand, giggling when mom and dad tell him not to, playing with his baby play kitchen, stacking his rings on and off the stand, and the bath. Those are probably his all time favorite things. Oh, and DADADADA. Mason is a daddy's boy :) I took him to the doctor today, here are my handsome man's stats!

Height: 28 1/2 inches- 50%

Weight: 18 lbs, 10 oz- 25%

Head: I don't remember the measurement, but it's still in the 90%

He is still my skinnish, average height, big headed boy! And I love him that way! Dr. Havey says he is growing well- which is exactly what this mama wants to hear! As always, and my favorite part, here are the nine month pictures of my favorite little guy!

DADADADA (as Mason calls him) decided the boy needed to swim in the backyard. What to do when your out of swim diapers? Skinny dip of course. He LOVED it. The swimming, not necessarily the being naked part :)

This little beauty is a Christmas present. Nate was told to hide it away, which didn't last long. Because he decided Mason needed to "try" it out. Needless to say from the grin on his face, I think we will get lots of play time with Mr. Zebra.

Poor bug, caught a little bit of a cold at the end of August. We busted out the nebulizer. He didn't really mind. He would happily sit this way, as long as he could play with the cord. HE LOVES CORDS. Mommy does not appreciate that love quite as much.

This is Mason's living room cage. And this is him staring at the television, literally looking around me, because the Wiggles were on. They are way cooler than Mom.

Here is one of his BabySteals pictures. Janet, our photographer says she likes to photograph him, because he "exudes joy". What Mom doesn't want to hear that?! He was a total grump yesterday, but somehow she got some super cute shots of him :)

Ah, another toy that was meant for Christmas. I have been a KSL.com fiend, looking for fun things I think he would like to play with in the coming months. He LOVES to be busy. This turned out to be much too big for him :) He liked crawling on top of it- he liked falling off of it much less.

That's all for now all! The Whickers are here, doing extremely well, and loving every minute of life! (Even as I type this Mason is ripping every DVD we own off the bookshelf! Time to go!)

Do you LOVE to Steal?!

Okay, not the illegal kind! BabySteals of course! I was addicted, and then I was lucky enough to get a job at the most amazing company on the planet. And believe me, it truly is just as fabulous as you would think!! Mason was featured on the site today, (advertising THE CUTEST Robeez socks ever!!) which totally made my YEAR! My little ham, grinning on the page- so fun! If you are addicted to stealing, like me, add our button to your blog too! They are brand new, and pretty darn cute!

Oh, and PS- Mason has his 9 month checkup next week! Where has the time gone?! My baby crawls, tries to stand up on his own, giggles, jabbers, follows you around the house... Kids grow up too fast! Look for more pictures and updates soon!
