Week 35

Mason turned 8 months this weekend and I can't believe it. He's getting so big. I took him to the park this week and he figured out how to go up the stairs all by himself. He would crawl all the way up and across the jungle gym and down the slide. I was so proud of him. He still loves to pull himself up on anything and everything. I wouldn't say that he is "cruising" the furniture by any means, but he is starting to take a few steps around the couch and table. He finally learned how to sit himself back down after standing up and I got a video of him when he first started figuring it out. Its so funny to see how cautious he is about it. He also goes from the table to the couch and back to the table. Not really moving his feet, but at least he's letting go and turning to the other. On Friday he was playing with a upside down laundry basket (one of his favorite things) and was standing up when it started to move, usually he just falls down when that happens, but this time he started to shuffle his feet and take a few steps with it. I couldn't believe it and I am so not ready for that. He's also turning into a super chatty little guy. He just babbles and talks all day to himself. Its so funny. On Saturday we went to Dallas for a wedding and got to see MeMe. We went to dinner with MeMe and got to ride a train (the Dart). After dinner Mason went and stayed with MeMe in the hotel while Josh and I went to the wedding. I'm sad to report that Mason was not that nice to MeMe. She said that he cried the whole time and kept going to the door to find us. Poor guy and poor MeMe. He finally went to sleep for her and I'm sure that she was very thankful for that! Unfortunately he didn't really sleep for us either. Nothing like waking up at 5:00 a.m. after going to a wedding! On Sunday we went to lunch where we got to meet cute little Kaylen Brown and where some of our friends got to meet Mason. It was so much fun seeing everyone and Kaylen was just too cute and sweet. I was so mad that I left my camera at home, but hopefully I will get some pics from other people to put up soon.

Playing with a spoon .... I buy him tons of toys and he likes things that he finds around the house

More spoon time, why do I spend money on toys again?



Mason chatting it up and sitting down, AKA falling down, before he learned how

Mason singing and chatting and sitting down. Oh and terrorizing Chewy
