Hurricane day fun

Today is what is called a hurricane day. There's a lot of rain, the house has these dark things on the windows, the t.v. is on all day, and I have Mommy and Daddy home all day stuck with me. I love it. I slept in till 9:45 this morning, Mommy made cinnamon buns, cleaned the house, and I got to chase her in the walker we borrowed from Grammy. This isn't such a bad thing at all.

Bedtime snacks

I was on my way to bed when these big people scooped me up, gave me hugs and forced me to eat these sweet messy things they call chocolate chip cookies. I really did just want to go in bed. I had my pajamas on and everything. I don't know what I'm going to do with all these big people. (Well, I should say, being forced to eat cookies isn't such a bad thing.)

Serving Time

Mommy said she had to clean the house since Mocha and I had made it too dirty. She made us stay in my room, behind bars. Mommy said to play nice, but when we realized we had a gate we could try to take out we set to work. We never figured out how to make the gate come down, but I think we got close. Mocha is a good playmate, but Mommy says we make a big mess together.

Homemade Mac n Cheese

I LOVE MAC-N-CHEESE!!!! Mommy got a recipe from a friend that works at a restaurant. I love when Mommy makes it for me.

Early morning pictures

I don't know about you, but I look pretty good in the morning. What do you think?

E.I.T.

Daddy's official title at work is an Engineer in Training (E.I.T.) Well I think I have just taken the title to a whole new level. This is me at Papa's chair in the big office. I think I can fill in the chair pretty nicely.

The age of discovery

Mason discovered sand. I'll let the pictures tell the story

Mason discovering sand and looking at Daddy to see if it was safe to play with.

Mason learning that sand stays on your hands when you touch it.

Mason not sure what to do with the sand on his hands.

Well if you can't get rid of it, eat it.

Daddy freaking out and quickly trying to stop Mason and wipe off the sand.

Happy picture

Mommy tried to take a picture of me for my birthday invitation. She wanted me to stand up and thought I wouldn't do it. Sure enough I did, and all by myself. I really am starting to be a big boy.

Back to school perks

While it is a royal bummer that Mommy has to go back to work, I did discover the perk to having Mommy be a teacher. Teacher Appreciation Breakfast. I got to eat a donut while Mommy looked around at Office Depot. Now the real question, since Mommy has to go be a teacher every day does that mean I get a donut every day?

Standing for photos

Mommy was trying to get a picture of me in my football shirt. She didn't think I would stand up but I did, then I decided to sit.

Playing with the girls

Friday we went over to Ms. Robin's house and had a play date with Halle and McKenzie. Mason doesn't usually get to play with such pretty girls and had a blast.

Blinds

Mason has made a game of touching the blinds, and rather than being mean about I've decided to play along. Now mind you, he will crawl really slow most of the time, however, when Mom says to stay away, well you can see what he does for yourself.

Walking Wings

Mom found the newest way to keep me walking without hurting Daddy's back and pulling on my arms. Some times I like it, sometimes I don't. Today I like it.

When Daddy's in charge

In our house Daddy's the boss. He makes the rules, Mom and I just follow them. (Or at least we let him think he's the boss.) I really love my Daddy.

This is what happens when Daddy is in charge of pj's and bath time. (That's him in the back laying down on the job.)

10 Months Old

Well the summer has flown by and Mason is now 10 months old. I'm preparing birthday celebration plans and everything else. Crazy to think of all the leaps and bounds he's made in the past few weeks. From rolling to army crawling, and now on all fours. He pulls himself up and stands all by himself. Only a few more posts and we're going to be at the one year mark. I'm anxious about having to start work and leaving him again, but he's such a wonderful boy I know we'll both transition well. Here are the gorgeous pics of my sweet boy.

Driving with Mocha

There is no sweeter thing than a boy with his dog. Mocha was a little leery of the truck after the ride, but Mason had a blast.
