Baptism April 11th

Mason was baptised on April 11th at St. Louis Church. Afterwards, everyone came back to our house to celebrate! It was a beautiful day and nice to have the family together!

With Tom's parents (and Mason's God parents)

With my parents

Mason didn't mind the water at all. We figured he wouldn't - he LOVES bath time :)

5 months old - April 9th

Mason at 5 months old. He weighs 15 pounds, 13 ounces and is 25 1/2 inches long! Since 3 months old, he has been sleeping through the night. Now that I am back to work, I have to wake HIM up in the morning. He will go 11 hours or so if you let him!

I think Mason is the happiest baby on Earth! He is constantly smiling at anyone who will talk to him :) He is still sucking on his hands like crazy, although we have not seen any teeth just yet. These days, he loves being in his jumper and watching tv. He will actually "talk" at the tv - haha.

Mason adjusted very well to the babysitter when I went back to work. He is such a "go with the flow" baby. I am sure he loves all the attention from the little girls. Although going back to work wasn't too bad, I am VERY ready for summer break!

Easter 2010

Mason trying to talk. He will look you right in the eye and have a conversation with you! He was a little distracted by the camera. This is the highlight of our day :)

Pics and Videos :)

He definitely has his dad's mouth!

Thanks for the great picture, Jamie!

St. Patrick's Day 2010

GO CAVS!

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a "Photo of the Day" on their website.

We sent Mason's picture in. It only took about 4 days for him to appear as their Cavalier of the Day at cavs.com!

4 months old - March 9th

Mason at 4 months old. He weighs 14 pounds 10 ounces and is 24 inches long. His favorite things to do are smiling, trying to laugh, and most of all, trying to put his whole fist in his mouth! He can't get enough of his fingers! It's a pretty depressing time for me. I have to go back to work in a week. It's been hard coping with the thought of leaving Mason with someone else for 8 hours each day. I realize I am extremely lucky to be a teacher and have the summer off with him, but it's still hard! Tom says he has really softened me up! I agree! Every time he looks at me these days, he is all smiles and is so excited! Tom describes it as the look on Buddy Elf's face when he meets his dad - haha. He also really responds to Tom with smiles and little giggles. It's been hard to catch a lot of the good smiles on camera. As soon as he sees we are trying to take a picture or video, he stops!

Bath Time!

Mason absolutely LOVES taking a bath! He thinks it's funny to "add a little extra water of his own" as soon as I set him in his tub!

Grandma Diane's birthday

Mason wearing Tom's hat from when he was a baby!

Thanks Grandma Diane for taking these pictures! It's rare to see me in a picture with Mason, since I am usually the one with the camera!
