On the go!

Well, Mason has finally decided to walk! Here he is, a little over 16 months old and is finally on his own. He has been playing "walk the human" for the past few months ... he would walk around with the assistance of an adult finger ... and anytime we'd let go, he would shriek in displeasure and often times, would cry pathetically  ... now, he can walk all on his own!! 

We had a wonderful family Christmas and enjoyed five days strait of holiday parties. We had Christmas Eve dinner with all Grandparents and Mason's "GG" .. that's his Great Grandma Suzie. Christmas morning we woke up and exchanged gifts as a family and then went over to Tim's folks for Christmas morning breakfast (and we were joined by my folks, too). 

Mason wasn't too interested in Christmas ... he was more interested in the bows that decorated the presents! The one thing he really loved was the
 rocking chair that was given to him by his Auntie Kara. He sits in his chair and tries to rock back and forth .. it is pretty cute.
Everything was hunky-dory until Mason came down with my cold on Saturday night ... he was feverish and a little grouchy for our family party in Chico on Sunday. Even though Mason was sick, we still braved the trip to see Mason's other Great Grandparents, Jim and Rita. So five days and five pounds later, we had a wonderful Christmas and Mason is finally on the mend. Even though he has a runny nose and a pretty good cough, his fever has broke and he is jovial as usual.

I have included a link to some pictures taken around Christmas time. I have also included a video taken with my camera of Mason walking!  





I hope you all had a very merry Christmas and that you have a safe and happy New Year!

Love,
Jenn, Tim and Mason

Yay! He's walking! That's such a turning point! I'm waiting for Molly-5 months now-to crawl and sit on her own! Are you soon!
