Crazy crawling kid!

So this last week mason learned how to crawl not just crawl but he is pulling himself up on everything! crazy kid. :)
I have a crawling baby boy!

My little man is 8 months, 1 week, 4 days.

My little mason is growing up.
He still isn't crawling, and i thought for sure by now he would be...
but i guess i need to be more patient. lol
He Rolls everywhere, scoots backwards, goes from laying down to sitting up,
Pulls himself up on everything, says momma and dadda
and eats like nobody's business.
Pretty much is doing everything but crawling.. or walking.


For AJ's birthday mom and dad got him sharks tickets for this Thursday..
It will be my first time leaving mason home with a baby sitter..
every time i think about it i get all teary lol
I don't know how im going to handle being away from him for even a few hours..
Guess we will find out..

AJ's surprise birthday party.

AJ turned 24 on Feb 8th.
I know, I know, I'm a little behind.
I kept asking him what he wanted to do for his birthday
but he just kept telling me "nothing"
So i went ahead and planned him a surprise birthday party.
I have no clue how he didn't figure out what we were up too,
but he really didnt know.
I got ALL his friends over and everything.
So here's to you hubby.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

{{Oh and what would a surprise birthday party be without someone's car
catching on fire in front of the house. Don't ask me how it happened, all i know is someone came running in the house yelling a car was on fire. So we all ran back out and sure enough.. there was a car on fire.}}

{{Dont worry, No one was hurt or anything. We got the fire out before the fire department even showed up.}}

Weekend Wrap-Up.

We were busy this weekend.
I'm going to go a little backwards here for a minute.
I took these pictures of Mason friday morning.
If you look close you can see he has all 4 teeth on top in.
Finally.
He was so grumpy with those 4.
But as you can see, we are back to happy mason.

He is getting so coordinated.
and finding his balance.
He just moves so good now.
Any day now he will crawl.
{{and then i'm in for it!!}}

Here is a side of mason we don't see very often..
He gets so mad when he can't crawl.
He tries so hard but in the end he just get frustrated.

He has had super sensitive skin since he was only a few weeks old.
It gets dry really easily and I have to use special soap and everything
so he has never had bubbles.
I have been noticing his skin has gotten a lot better
so we tried bubbles for the first time and he did not want to get out.

Friday afternoon AJ got off work early and we went and picked up a puppy.
He is a blue blood bulldog.
He is only 8 weeks old and such a good puppy.
He hasn't had an accident yet in the house..
More then likely it will happen eventually but
it hasn't yet.
He is a quick learner.
He has bright blue eyes
and saggy skin.

Mason is not too sure of him yet.
He likes to torture the puppy when he is sleeping.
But when he is awake and excited he likes to lick mason's face
and mason doesn't like it so much.
haha.

He is a keeper.

Anyways. Saturday AJ ran the rototiller over the yard.
In the garden and around the grass.
and then him and all his friends went and picked up a huge Wooden play structure
for Mason.
It has a slide and swings.
What more could a little boy want.
Honestly.
haha.
Mason got to meet My Grandpa Darrell {his great grandpa} for the first time.
He was in town to go to a sharks game with dad.
It was good to see him.

Today we have just been kicking back.
AJ mowed the lawns and worked on the back yard a bit
It looks really good back there.
I can't wait to get the garden going again.
