He WALKS!!!

Well the Lil Man did it....he took his first steps all on his own. No help, no hand holding, no furniture to guide him, no wall to lean on....all by his big boy self :) He wanted to get to the chair when he was finished playing with a toy. He turned to see the chair and tried to reach it and not let go of his leverage. His arms weren't long enough. He turned around, stood up strong and took, one, two, three whole steps over to the chair without falling!!!! Mommy is so proud of her Lil Man :) I was also so excited that my MIL got to see it.....so was MomMom :)

Welcome 2010!!!

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything and that's because my Lil Man has been keeping me OH SO BUSY!!! Mason Andrew is now 9 months old and he's learned to crawl like a champ, pull himself up on anything he can get his hands on and cruise like a pro! He's even taken to standing on his own (look ma...no hands!) for a brief time! The days of letting him lay on his boppy while I do some housework are far gone. I can't take my eyes off him for a second and you know what? I wouldn't trade it for the world :) I love watching him discover new and exciting things.....even though most of the time that seems to be Daddy's electronics....


This is the look I get when I catch him in the act!



Mason had his first visit with Santa and it was mostly a success. He didn't cry but he did look a bit confused about why we were sitting him with this strange man! He would look at us and look up at Santa, back up at us and then back to Santa with a confused look. He wouldn't smile for the camera but we did get an awfuly cute picture....


Notice the sort of confused look.....

Well, right now we are in WV for the new year with Chris' family. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up more with Mason's blog once we get home......but I know he'll be walking real soon and then I'm going to need a leash!! LOL :)

Happy 2010 to all!!!
