Happy Birthday Dear.....



Our little boy is a year old today! It may be a bit cliche, but I can not believe how fast the last 12 months have gone by! We've done out best to cherish every passing stage and milestone of his, our experience has taught us that babies don't stay babies long enough.

We celebrated with family and friends and had a memorable first birthday party!



Mason has a lot of personality and we have enjoyed becoming acquainted with his sense of humor, determination, energy, likes and dislikes. We have learned that Mason is playful and very comfortable being the center of attention, he relishes getting all of his siblings laughing at once. Mason is very vocal, he combines his strong will with his strong lungs and communicates what he wants emphatically. He is an explorer, I can hardly engage him when we are in a new environment, he does all he can to get out of my arms and into whatever catches his eye. He discovered the phrase "What's that?" and uses it often. He's a dancer. Mason hears the music and does his own version of a tap dance. He likes to try new things. It doesn't matter what food is already on his plate, if he sees something new then he insists that he gets a taste of it. Mason gives great hugs and kisses. He is such a sweet boy and fills a void that we never knew was there!

We love you Mason!

Who was the photographer? I must know!

I can't believe your baby is one and mine is 30! (Okay, technically, Russell is not MY baby...)

Beautiful babies, all!
