Movin' and Shakin' (and fun with Darby)

Here are a few recent videos of Mason.  The first is of him crawling/scooting!  It is pretty close to a crawl, so I'd say that is only a matter of time!  Before anyone comments, yes I realize I am baiting my son with a computer mouse.  After all, he is going to be a techie like daddy, anyway (computer mouse, remotes, computers, keyboards, cell phones, you name it!)!  Also, Mason wanted me to add that he is sorry for his diaper showing.  His new PJ shorts are a bit big still!

The next video is from a few days ago of Daddy/Mason/Darby playing.  It is pretty funny! Enjoy!

Pull up!

Here is a video of Mason pulling up on my leg this morning!  He is getting there with pulling up on the couch.  Sometimes he crosses his legs which makes the task a bit difficult.  I think it is only a matter of time before we have a mobile baby!

Swimmin'

Mason enjoyed his first swim when we were home last week!  He had lots of fun!  I must say, his floatie is pretty cool as well!  We really liked it! Enjoy the video and pictures!  I am behind on posts, but will try to catch up eventually!

Happy Birthday Gama Cathy!

Here are a few pictures from Gama Cathy's birthday celebration!  We had supper at the Approach and came back and had some yummy DQ Ice Cream cake!  I am behind on posts, but eventually I will add pictures from our trip back to IL and the St. Louis Zoo and Cardinal's Game on Memorial Day!  

We love you Gama!

Experienced Napper

 Today Mason decided to show us the new and cool way to nap, sideways!  I think he got here in a mix of frustration and rolling (We have noticed he tends to move more in the crib the angrier he gets going down for nap.  The madder he is, the more tired he becomes, I guess!).  Luckily for Mommy, bedtime usually goes without a hitch, so not much movement is involved. :)  Below the nap pictures, you will also see the new way he takes his paci..chew toy!  There must be teeth in there somewhere!

Napping sideways is the thing to do!

So relaxed

Mason is to Paci as Darby is to rawhide!

6 Month Professional Pics!

Here are a few of the professional pictures from Mason's 6 Month Photo shoot!  We really love all of them!  Thank you Heather Leigh Photography!

Chillin' on the bricks

Happy family

Mommy's favorite family picture

Love this one too!

And that's a wrap...no more pictures for me!

Rollin'

Here is a video of Mason rolling tummy to back.  He has just mastered this in the past few days and usually does it in his crib when he is being impatient!  I think crawling may be coming sooner rather than later as well, since he has started pushing up with his feet and trying to scoot! Look out, here he comes! :)
