Our little Fish

Mason started swim lessons this summer and he LOVES the water! He is doing great holding his breath, kicking, and of course SPLASHING! I'm not sure who likes the classes more, Mason or Mike and I .. we are both at every class with camera in hand!!
Mason fishing for rings and putting them in a bucket ...

Kick, Kick, Kick ...

Graduation Day ...

NO fear ...

Off the side ...

And for his last trick Mason will attempt to jump off the side while standing ... SPLASH!

Mason's favorite part of the class is the "Good Bye" song, where everyone smiles and waves at him. He has the biggest grin on his face and always waves back!! I'm not a proud Mom or anything ... what a dork in this picture!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Mason!!

Mason took his first plane ride (and his first steps) over the 4th of July Weekend. We all went to visit Mimi and Poppa in Hendersonville, North Carolina.

Mason was great on the plane ... mostly entertained by Baby Einstein and ice cubes.

The Pelletiere's ... you will never want to leave!!

Happy 4th of July!!

A Day at The Zoo

We went to Oklahoma in June to visit Mike's family.

Mason made his first ever trip to the zoo with all The Spanglers!

Here is Mason sporting Grandpa's hat ...

9 Months ... Already!?

Mason turned 9 months old on May 24 ... he is a little over 30 inches tall and weighs about 21 pounds! Mason is pulling up on anything and everything, and taking the occasional step on his own. He has 4 top teeth and 2 on the bottom, with more already on the way! Like his mom and dad, Mason eats everything ... he loves fish, asparagus, rice, etc. If Mason could live outside he would ... he spends much of his day with Maria at the park, the lake, the pool, and riding around in his wagon, red car, or stroller.

Mason loves to wave, give kisses, laugh, and say da da! He has curly hair that is as independent as he is!!
This month Mason thought it would be a good idea to test mommy while daddy was out of town! He pulled over shelves, jumped out of his crib (imagine my surprise when I went to rock him to sleep and found him on the floor), and pooped in the tub.
Stay tuned for Mason's next move ...

A weekend with Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa Spangler came in town for a wonderful visit! Mason LOVED spending time with them and showing off all of his new tricks.

Grandma was a pro with our active boy ... she was not phased after having 3 of her own
Grandpa baby-proofed our entire house and fixed the light in Mason's room ... what would we do without you? Thank you!

Summer Time

Mason loves his new pool! He has been spending his afternoons working on his tan and splashing away!!

Apparently Mason is NOT afraid of the water

Mommy could get use to this!

Happy Memorial Day!

My very own Memorial Day parade on Chesterton Dr.
