9 months old

This past weekend was Mason's 9 month birthday! We went to Raleigh to visit my cousin Megan and her family. We had such great weather. Then Sunday we had family pictures taken. I will post them as soon as we get the disk! I saw a sneak preview and they were great! The morning before we left I had to take my monthly sticker picture. They are getting so hard to take. He doesn't sit still!!!! I had to post all of these cause I just LOVE the facial expressions!

Mom, are you serious with this?

Oh My Gosh I am gonna fall!

EEEEEKKKK

We went to the doctor today and everything is great! He is a peanut but is growing at the same pace! He is a whooping 17 pounds. Hahahahaha. She couldn't believe he was already walking. Oh yeah forgot to mention that.....he can take up to 5 steps at a time. It is so cute. Give him about a week of practice and he will be GONE!!!!! I am about to have my hands full for real! Only bad news was that he is probably going to need braces when he is older. His two front teeth have a pretty decent gap!! I guess he has some big gums so they probably won't get pushed together by his other teeth. Oh well we will do whatever we have to cause I do not want a mini Michael Strahan running around! LOL.

Tonight was the National Championship game. My Aunt Karen is a big fan and buys Mason all kinds of Bama gear. He went to the doctor all decked out in his Crimson Tide gear. Hat, shirt, socks, and sneaks! All thanks to Aunt Karen. Everyone at the doctor thought it was the cutest thing. Good thing we didn't have any Tiger fans there!!! Aunt Karen also got Kurt and I Bama gear for Christmas. Here is our family Bama pic!

Good Luck Alabama! Roll Tide Roll!!!

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy 2012!!!! Wishing everyone a great new year! This year New Years was pretty low key. I stayed home with Mason and it was honestly the best New Years Eve ever! We played with all his new times and had a great time! Then when he went to bed I was able to just sit and relax! It was so nice for a chance. I feel like we are constantly on the go so some down time is always a good thing! My mom bought Mason the cutest tuxedo pajamas. He looked so damn cute!

The beginning of the year means college basketball is in full swing! Mason got a new Duke hoodie for Christmas so he will be rocking it on game days! Cant wait to go to Vegas in March for some serious March Madness. Lets Go Duke!

The weather in NC has been awesome! Weekends at 65 in December and January is great! Mason got a new swing set from Nana and Pop for Christmas and has been able to use it a lot already. He loves being outside!!! Cant wait till Spring and Summer now that he is older and we can play outside!
