Mace is ONE!

 OH my goodness!!  I am so in love with this little man.  He is so cute I could eat him!!  Mason was teething this day and was super grumpy and Noelle was able to capture something that I couldn't and I am so grateful to her. 

 Mason was showing Benita how big he was at his 1 year old check up!  He's 17 lbs! Soooo big!

Mason is in love with being outside, especially when he sees his little car.  He doesn't ever want to get out of it or the little 4-wheeler we have.  This kid never throws fits but MAN if you take him in before he wants ...he will let you know it! 

 Mason and his little buddy Wyatt.  He is about 6 weeks older.  So cute! 

Mason is such a chill little guy even at 1.  He eats any and all food in front of him.  He loves his veggies.  He says mama and "nak"  which is snack.  Of course he's a Lyman boy and loves his snacks!  He sleeps like a dream, to bed around 8 and up around 10 the next morning.  He is absolutely adored by his brothers and sister.  One day Mason kept pulling my folded laundry pile off the table and after about the third time pulling it off and me refolding it, I said, "No-no" as I wagged my finger at him.  Mason put his head down real sad.  Coy came huffing over and got right after me.  "Mom, he's just a baby!" Then he continued to coo at Mason till he was smiling.

Mason can get around real fast by crawling and bear crawl but no view of when he is going to give that up.  He gets real mad if I try to practice walking.  So for now, he is completely content.

Dear Mason,

My favorite thing to do with you when no one is around is snuggle in the big chair and sing songs with you.  When I see you clap, it's about the cutest thing in the world!  You are quick to learn but you are very curious.  You want to get in all the cupboards and you find it fun to unroll the toilet paper roll!  GRRRR!!  It is impossible to be mad at you cause you squeal and crawl away real fast.  I am pretty sure you have swallowed a Lego or two but so far you've lived!   You have brought so much love into our house and I am so blessed to be your mom.  Livvy is your biggest cheer leader.  She takes credit in teaching you many tricks.  Stay happy baby boy!

Love, Mom
