Learning to sit up
Mason's first boo boo.
Mason just had a new haircut (his 3rd). He's 7 1/2 months old in this picture.
Getting ready for our Memorial Day adventure
Yes, I'm cute!
Mason and Grant at Goldilocks in San Francisco on Memorial Day
Having a bottle while visiting the Redwoods
Cutting Mason's nails
Mason in his little "cage."
This is one of his first times pulling himself up on his own
Sometimes he likes to crawls and get stuck in small spaces, like underneath his walker
Mason LOVED the pistachio icecream at Leatherby's Family Creamery in Sacramento
Having fun at grandma's house

I think this is our best shot of his teeth so far. He currently has 6 teeth that we know of (4 on the top and 2 on the bottom).
Mason just had to "help" me put the desk together.
Happy to enjoy our new home in South Bend. By the way, Mason is now 10 months old!
This was Mason's temporary room while we unpacked all our stuff (it's now my study room).
Mason basically ate the rest of this ice cream cone by himself!
Almost done
I hope you don't plan on touching me with those hands

Mason will often wait outside the bathroom when one of us is in there.
He also likes to look under the bathroom door whenever someone is inside.
You have to love the hair. This is about 1 week before receiving his 4th haircut (and before turning 1 yr old)
Mason and dad early in the morning before school
Before you know it, he'll be walking
Mason still loves ice cream
