Maso visits Mason in Merced

highchair

Tom thought this highchair was a little ridiculous but I think it is gorgeous. I mean, its going to be a furniture item in our house for the next 2 years. Plus Mason looks so cute in it! Such a big boy sitting there enjoying breakfast with dad.

Yosemite Lake

For the holiday weekend we had decided to go to Yosemite but with the storm coming we settled on Yosemite Lake in Merced, a close second :)

" really a chin strap mom?"

The Bosmas

The Drurys (tim, karly, and dottie 5mos)

Tibia tried to show Karly how to use the chuck-it.

Good thing Tibia is not picky...

Needless to say, Tibia slept really well that night.

my happy boy!

Mason is 5 months

Okay, so I'm a little late (say it with new york accent).

Excuses, excuse... This week was my first week back at work. Enough said. Thanks to all who left me encouraging messages. I made a special trip to the drugstore for waterproof mascara but didn't need it. This week was only half days, so we'll see how things go when I'm away from this little peanut for eight hours. Enough about me- check out this guy!

Mason Thomas Bosma

5 months!

See Maso my mom wasn't kidding, I really am sitting up all by myself!

4 months

3 months

Ready for food?

This kid was sound asleep until Tom started eating...

He has been watching our every move for the past month.

Even though it may not taste like a hamburger he is loving his rice cereal.

Holiday

Okay so apparently we didn't take very many pictures this holiday season. We went to SB for almost 10 days and have nothing to show for it, well except all the Christmas loot (thanks family). Mason's first Christmas and I've got nada...

Okay well a few..

Any resemblance?New Years day, the Rose Bowl is on TV...

I kept telling Tom "don't let that kid watch TV, even if its football".

My dad proceeded to explain to Mason to ignore me because for the rest of his life some woman in his life, be it is mother, wife etc will be telling him not to watch football. Thanks dad. But, I mean really, look at the gaze in that kids eye... that can't be healthy.New Years Day walk on the beach. Tom & Mason. Mark & Ryder.Mason tries rice cereal with NonaAnd gobbled it upMy dear friend Kate and her husband Kevin came up for a little post holiday cheer.
stay tooned I'll wait and steal some from the Schaw's flickr site.

Christmas Cookies with babies

My father requested a few Christmas cookies and who can say no to their dad, right? But apparently when I said yes it didn't occur to me that I had to bake 4 dozen cookies and frost them with a baby with a baby on my hip....

In steps Karly and Dottie to save the day!

Jumping Mason

Thanks to our friend Elizabeth, Mason got a jumperoo! And he loves it.

He is a little jumping bean.

Opa visits

Yes, Opa! Opa is dutch for Grandpa and frankly it goes along with our other odd names, "Maso" my dad, "Nona" my mom... Now if only we could get Grandma Bonnie to go with Bobo or something?

Opa also brought the bench!
