Aloha!

Mason says ALOHA as we are getting ready to go to Hawaii for a week! Can't wait to put his toes in the sand and take him in the pool for some splashin' around!

Mason and Ellie

Mason had his first play date with his adorable girlfriend Ellie this weekend. Ellie is 14 weeks older than Mason and has obviously mastered tummy time and the art of holding her head up............... whereas Mason has some work to do to impress Ellie! You will be there soon buddy! :-)

Morning Baby

Mason was all smiles when I got him out of his crib this morning. Mornings seem to be his happiest time of day. :-)

I'm so tired

I guess babies really can sleep anywhere!

Holy Moly!

That is what Andy and I said as we were giving Mason a bath on Wednesday night. We couldn't believe how big he has gotten. We thought these pictures would be a good comparison as to how much he has grown. Time to take the newborn netting out of the bathtub. :-)

At 11 weeks he weighs 14 lbs and is 24 inches long. His head has also gone from 371/2 cm to 40 cm.

Look at me go!

Mason has really started to move and kick a lot more as you will see in this video! He is going to be on the move before we know it!

Who needs a doctor?

Mason got these ADORABLE scrub jammies from his Aunt Kimbo and Uncle Adam after he was born. When he got them we thought they would never fit but this little guy just keeps growing and growing! I think he is ready to follow in his dad's footsteps!

Just love this face!!!!!

I just can't get enough of this little guy! Check out the chunky arms-he has lots of folds to clean!

How sweet is this face?!?!

Tummy Time Gone Bad

Mason is not a fan of tummy time.......but he doesn't really have a choice and has to do it. He usually starts out ok then it rapidly takes a turn for the worst. Mom is a sucker and usually doesn't make him fus for too long. :-)

I'm still ok and not minding this............

Starting to get mad.......checkout the eyebrows

And.................I'm done!

More Visitors!

Mason 's grandparents (and cousin) came for a visit this past weekend. Mason had a great time with everyone and was his usual happy baby self!

I'm Rad Like Dad!

Concert on the Square

We took our little superman to his first concert on the square last night. It was a beautiful night and enjoyed hanging out with good friends!

My first time in the grass!

We were hanging out in the yard tonight and Mason got his first feel of grass. He did a good job standing up for a while then decided he was over it and wanted to sit back down again! :-)

Making Friends!

Abby is finally gettig braver as far going near Mason (not Lilly though). Today she just plopped herself down pratcially on-top of him and Mason didn't even seem to care. Abby finally got up after Mason started kicking her. :-)

Abby wanted some attention too!

Ready for Church

When we were in Colorado Mason and I went to church. Gotta love the tie onesie-kinda like a tuxedo t-shirt!

My First Plane Ride

Mason had his first plane ride this past weekend. We went to Colroado to visit family and friends while Andy went on to California with my dad, David and Cliff to play some golf. Mason did great on the plane and pretty much slept the entire way. The only way this was possible was to be on the same flights as Andy going and returning to Madsion.

Mason also got to meet his other set of grandparents and his only cousin while we were there!

On the 4th of July we did the neighborhood festivities then went to a BBQ at some friends house where he got to meet all of our Colorado friends!



Waiting at the airport with Daddy!


Such a good little flyer



Meeting Grandma and Grandpa Buchholz and Sierra for the first time.

My party outfit for the 4th of July-"Born in 2009"!

Mason also got to meet his 3 Colorado Aunts: Casey, Kimberly and Christie! He also got to meet his 3 Colorado Uncles (Scott, Adam and Jeff) too but they weren't in the picture. :-)

Cuddle time with Daddy

When Andy gets home from work he and Mason always spend some cuddle time together..............which usually leads to naps for both of them. :-)

My little peanut!

So cozy with daddy!

I'm 8 Weeks Old!

Mason had his 8 week appointment yesterday. He weighs 11 lb 13.5 oz (62%) and is 22.75 inches (52%). He also had 3 shots and cried VERY hard (broke his mommy's heart). I didn't know it was possible for someones face to get that red. The doctor said he looked perfect and couldn't wait to see how much bigger he gets at his 4 month appointment. I thought these pictures show how much he has grown in 8 weeks!
