Five Months and COUNTING...


Happy New Year!

Mason is now 5 months old and we cannot believe that time is flying by so fast! Our baby is feeling less and less like a baby every day and we just want it all to SLOWWWW down!

Mason is babbling up a storm!  Not only is he loving all of the newfound sounds he is capable of creating, we are too!  He giggles and coos and is constantly telling us stories.  He recently started shrieking and is just a ball of fun watching him grow.  We still are more in awe of him each and every DAY!



Mason loves Starbucks just like Mommy and Daddy!
The last month we have noticed the so many changes, both physically and  developmentally.  
Mason is becoming quite the pro at grabbing for his toys and his hand eye coordination has improved so much in just one short month.  He is not quite sitting up on his own but he is rolling from front to back with ease and has almost mastered his back to front roll as well.  He also finally discovered the toy bar we added to his crib.  Check it out!




Mason spends a lot of his time during the weekdays being moved by Grandma Lynn from station to station is his play room;  especially since it just got a major upgrade at Christmas time!!!! :)  Mason loves to read books, jump in his bouncer and has recently started moving around in his activity table walker.  He loves our Iphones and Ipad but really loves Mickey Mouse!  Check out this video with Mase enjoying the best of both worlds:  Mickey and his activity table! 



We celebrated Mason's First Christmas with Grandma Lynn, Great Grandma Gebby and Auntie Diana. We had a great few days together preparing for Christmas and then enjoyed our holiday feast and gift exchange before Daddy surprised Mommy with a trip to Las Vegas.
How could he NOT be Santa's Favorite?

"Daddy what are you doing up there?'
Making his handprint ornament from Auntie!


With Grandma and Great Gram!




Auntie and Great Gram stayed until the Friday before New Year's.  We enjoyed the last few days we had together playing card games, watching Mason play with his new toys and enjoying the beautiful weather!  Great Gram even strolled Mason around in our newly renovated backyard for a few minutes as this is now his preferred way we get him to nap during the day.  Whatever works right?

On New Year's Eve we had a nice visit from some fellow pirates and their little pirate Jordan.Mason had a good time playing with his new friend and crazy Daddy!





We rang in the New Year at home and barely saw midnight!  :)  We were actually EXCITED about our low key holiday plans and enjoyed every second at home.  Mason had such a tough day (yeah right!) that he was sleeping by 8 pm---a little late for him actually!  :)  This month things have become rather consistent with his sleep patterns.  He starts dinner between 6 and 7 and is usually asleep by 8 at the latest and usually sleeps through the night.  We think this is because Mason is eating solids now- here is a video of his first bout with peas.  They are growing on him but we think his favorite food is bananas!  He would eat an entire jar if we'd let him!



We are preparing for another trip to New Jersey in the beginning of February to celebrate the birthdays of Mason's favorite cousins and have another action packed month ahead.  Can't wait to see some of you then!  


Wishing everyone all the love, happiness and joy 2012 has to offer.  We are definitely looking forward to all it has in store for us and those we love!
