Decorating for Christmas (I know, it's too early)

Trent is a good sport and let me put up the Christmas decorations a little early. (To be fair, it's only four days early) Mason loves all of it. He couldn't take his eyes off of the tree, and once he found this string of beads, he was in heaven.

So much fun. Mason also showed off his Ute shirt this weekend (even though it did not help them win). I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

 It's so funny to put things on your head!!

He's getting to be such a big boy!

Halloween

 Cutest little crab ever! 

9 months old!!

Mason is nine months old today. He talks to us all the time in his own babble, and can say Dada and Baba. (Still working on Mama, unfortunately!) He loves bath time and pulling on the dogs' ears, which they are sweet enough to let him do. He's not quite crawling yet, but he can stand with help and spins around in circles on his tummy. His favorite foods are applesauce and peas, and he loves his stuffed giraffe that he sleeps with every night.

Our friend Kathleen is a retired teacher, and she loves reading as much as I do. She has spoiled our little Mason by sending him a new book to open every month. We love getting books from her and we have found a few new authors that we love. We opened our 9 month book today, after Mason chewed on it for awhile. He was very excited about the paper it came in. I'm pretty sure we could just get him wrapping paper for Christmas and he would be one happy baby. His likes the roll of paper on the exam table at the doctor's office more than most of his toys!
