Our Family

This is Mason's I love mommy look. He opens his arms up wide, smiles and spits til mommy gives him a big bear hug and lots of kisses. Mommy and mason have a special bond we hope will never be matched or broken.

Last month Mason discovered his feet. He has very long feet to match the rest of his long body. He loves to stick his feet in his mouth when no other toys are avalible.

Mason's new favorite toy is his excersaucer that Aunt Jessie and Uncle Alan let us barrow. Mason loves all the toys attached to it that he can stick in his mouth. Every this is going in the mouth now. This picture was taken right after bath time and right before bed time. (Check out the crazy hair style)

Mason loves bath time. He kicks his feet and splashes all the water out of his little tub. He likes to have toys in the tub and just discovered how to suck the water out of a washrag. Now we have to have 2 washrags during bath time, one for Mason to suck on and one for mommy to wash with. If we only use one Mason is always trying to pull the washrag away from mommy.

This is a very satisfied little monkey. He is now eating sweet potatoes and bananas with rice cerial and lots of formula. What a big boy. This is the "I am Done!" look.

Mason loves to help mommy feed him. He will turn his head for a bite from mommy then put his own spoon in his mouth until he is ready for another bite. Then the process starts all over again. He has gotten really good at using his spoon. We can't believe he is only 5 months old.

Mason loves his spoons. In fact, he likes to hold his own spoon while mommy feeds him with another one.

Mason has the cutest smiles and we see them often. We love to hear his cute giggly laugh when you tickle his tummy.

For the past two days I, mom, have been feeling a strange sharp pain on my right side. Brandon and I thought that there might be something wrong with the baby so i called my OBGYN this morning and she sent me to the hospital immediatly to get an ultrasound to make sure i wasn't having a tubal pregnancy.

Well, i was there from 9am to 3pm. She moved me from department to department for blood work and two diffrent types of ultrasounds. Turns out the baby is right where it needs to be and is measuring right at 5 weeks and 5 days.

With a big sigh and a hug from Brandon i cried all the way home giving thanks to my heavenly father for a healthy pregnancy.

Luckly, my parents we avalible at a moments notice to take mason for the day. He spent the day going to the grocery and having fun with grandma Viki. We are so very lucky the are so close and willing to help us.

Until the next drama....God Bless!
