Happy Easter!

Meeting the Easter Bunny!

We took Mason to meet the Easter bunny a few weeks ago! We were nervous that he might be scared, but he did a great job! He sat down on the bunny's lap and smiled right at the camera. If only it could be this easy next year too!

Mason's Baptism

We finally got Mason baptized a week ago. He was originally supposed to be baptized in December, but I felt like there was too much going on then with the holidays so we waited until the weather got warmer. We ended up getting a beautiful, sunny, 80 degree day. Mason did an awesome job in church, despite the ceremony being so long. We didn't get many pictures of him in his outfit so I'll add some of the ones we had taken later. He had some of our close friends and family there to celebrate his big day. Thank you to everyone who came and to Auntie Erica and Jacob for serving as Mason's godparents.

Five Months

I never got around to posting for Mason's "five month birthday" and I figured I better get to it since he'll be six months old next week. Oh how time flies! He continues to be a happy little boy and is now eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. He seems to enjoy mostly everything we give him. He is constantly rolling around and loves to play with all his toys. He absolutely loves playing with (and eating) his feet. He giggles so much now, it's infectious. Mason didn't have a doctor's appointment this month, but we did our best to measure him at home.

He now weighs about 17 pounds, is 27 inches long, and has a head circumference of 17 inches.

Eating is hard work

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A Walk in the Park

Today was a gorgeous day so we took Mason for a walk. While we were out, we stopped by the park and Mason got his first ride on the swing. Even though he's obviously too small for the baby swings, he seemed to enjoy sitting in it and watching the other kids. He even got a few small pushes from Daddy and loved it!

The walk took a lot out of him

Four Months

It's hard to believe that Mason is four months old already! It seems like he does something new everyday. He's getting better and better at rolling over. He is fascinated by his feet and has started making a lovely high pitched squeal when he's happy. He giggles more than ever too! Mason's four month doctor visit was this past week. He's growing appropriately and the doctor said that he's stronger than most four month old babies. He told us to start him on solid foods. Since he's been getting rice cereal in his bottles for months we were able to start with something else. He's been eating oatmeal for the past couple of days and is doing well with it! He even seemed to have an easier time with his shots this month.

He now weighs 15 pounds 14 ounces, is 26 1/4 inches long, and has a head circumference of 16 1/2 inches.
