10 Weeks-What an Adventure

So I don't know what we did before Mason because all I have to talk about is what he has been doing the last few weeks. Mason turns 10 weeks tomorrow and I can hardly believe it! The time has went by so fast. I have 12 weeks off work and I thought it would be so much time and now I am already starting to dread going back. Luckily my sister lives here so she is going to watch Mason while I'm at work.

Mason is growing so fast. He is just over two months old and is already wearing 3-6 month clothes. He went to the Dr. for his two month apt and he weighs almost 14 lbs. HUGE! He is getting so fun though. He smiles all the time and has laughed a few times but we can't ever get a picture of him smiling. As soon as I pull out the camera he gets so focused on studying the camera he won't smile. In fact, one of the only pictures I have of him smiling is right after he had his shots. You can see the bandaids on his legs and everything.

My frien Stacey had her baby about a month ago so we took a trip to Cedar to see her and her new baby. This picture made me realize how much Mason has grown. The baby is a 9 lb baby and she looks tiny next to Mason.

We blessed Mason on the 1st of March. My sister came up from Arizona and we blessed her baby too. I'm so glad these two boys are so close in age and can grow up together. Plus, my sister just found out they are moving back to Utah so we'll get to see them a lot more! I can't believe how much Gage had grown. Both boys were good through their blessings and a lot of family was able to come. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends. Mark's parents even flew down from Seattle for the blessing. The church was full. We had over a hundred people at the dinner after between my family, Mark's family, and my sister's in-laws. It was Great! Oh, and a little tip-take blessing day pics early in the day before any diaper blow-outs can happen.

But, I do have to say that I felt a whole lot better about how big Mason is getting when I put him in his 3-6 month clothes. It's nice to see clothes too big for him again. He is such a tank. I don't know what we ever did without him!

Mason and I left for a night to go scrapbook with the girls at my mom's house. Mark had to work in Vegas for the night, so I figured why not? It was beautiful weather and Mason loved the swing outside. He is getting so fun. He doesn't look very happy in the picture but that's what happens when you get three kids (my nieces and nephew) trying to make him smile-a confused, distracted baby.

So I'm having problems with the internet and for some reason I can't post more than two pictures on each post. So here's some random pics of the last few weeks.

Well, I created this blog page about a year ago and haven't posted a single thing so I guess our lives really are busy. A lot has happened in the last year but the biggest (and the most recent) is Mason being born. What a change to go from a couple to having a baby! A good change though. Maybe one of these days I'll get really ambitious and post about all the other stuff but for now here's some pics of Mason from the last two months.
