Where has Mason been?

Mason is almost 11 months and I have totally forgotten about the blog. It's summer. We've been traveling and having way to much fun to blog.

Let's see what's new?

Mason has a tooth! yes A tooth, only one. But it is the cutest tooth you've ever seen. He is obsessed with teeth in general. Constantly sticking his fingers in our mouth touching our teeth and laughing. He loves watching us chew in amazement. One day Mason one day. He might even be brewing another one as we speak.

Mason is also a master crawler. He moves like a locomotive machine. I never knew crawling could be so cute! Lately he has taken to "cruising" around furniture and holding on to your fingers, thanks to his Uncle Peter. We have also learned that Mason has a shoe obsession. He loves wearing shoes. When he walks in them he prances. If he sees them on the ground he tries to put them on himself, its hilarious. I guess like mother like son? Mason is a mover. Put him down and watch him go... he hardly looks back. He is a water boy and seems to make a dash to our fountain, the bathtub or Tibia's water bowl (which is now outside).

With all of our recent travel, Michigan in May, San Juan Islands and Sun Valley in June Mason has proven to have the most amazing disposition. People are constantly saying, "you have such a happy baby" or "does he always have a smile on his face" and not to brag, but, he does! As my sister put it, "I can't wait for Mason to start talking, so he can tell us what he is seeing through those rose colored glasses of his". He is a people person. A flirt. A ham. He loves other kids. His favorite new word "HI!" which he uses frequently and seems to catch most people off guard. When he rides in the shopping cart at the market or in the stroller around town he waves like he is in a parade. Such a happy boy. Tom and I are so very lucky.
