Big Boy

So, I'm not sure where my sweet little baby is...but apparently he has been replaced by a sweet BIG boy!  I cannot begin to explain how much Mason has changed in just the last month or two - I swear overnight he's turned into a little boy who is talking up a storm (half of which I have no clue what he's saying but this doesn't deter him from non-stop chatter), knows how to count and say some of his ABCs, and is feeding himself!

This past weekend we went up to LA to visit some good friends from when we lived up there.  On the way up we had a great time singing songs, playing with cars, and reciting our ABCs & counting to 10.  I caught the tail end of one of our counting sessions...now mind you he isn't talking perfectly but you can tell he knows what comes next.  Other than 5, which he skips every time :)

While I'm  mentioning that trip, here are some pix from our visit.  Apologies for the poor picture quality, the iPhone was all we had!

This is Mason with his two new buddies, Marco & Noah.

Marco & Noah, 6 & 7 months old.

All the boys with their boys.  Adam, Tristan & Cass, aka 3 men and their mini-me's!

And the girls with our boys - me, Jennie & Daniela

We stayed in LA through dinner and put Mason in his PJs for the drive home.  He made it about 30 minutes into the drive before giving in and passing out.

Now back to more big boy stories!  We also had some fun with yogurt after dinner last week - he loves to feed himself these days!

I walked away to clean up the dishes and here's what I came back to...

Sure is fun turning into a big boy!!!
