Getting So Big!

Wow! It's amazing how much Mason has picked up on this week. He now shakes his head no. It started off as no meaning. We would watch him on his video monitor and he's just be in his crib shaking his head no. Now he's starting to use it in the right context. We should probably teach him how to shake it yes:) But it was fun because I was singing 5 Little Monkeys and when it got to the part where "teasing Mr. Alligator, can't catch me" he shakes his head no. He loves to give high fives too. It's amazing how much kids can pick up on and just use those skills. He is just a typical boy loving to play with his cars and that can usually keep him entertained for hours, ok, well maybe minutes:) His teeth are bothering him again, but he has been acting fine, he just gnaws on everything and I can feel the teeth about to poke through. He isn't walking yet, but I'm ok with that:) He likes to just stand up on his own now. He did take his first step without falling, so I'll consider that a move in the walking direction. We are so excited to have our family pictures next week and Mason's 1 year pictures. How in the world did time go so quickly!? I will never know, but I've enjoyed this past year and the great changes that have come to it. We are blessed beyond belief to have such a fun, loving, smart little guy. We love our little Bugaboo!!
