big week

Our time in Houston is coming to an end. Tomorrow afternoon, we fly back to California and will join Adam in Bakersfield. It was big week for Mason and for me. It was the first time to travel with Mason alone and I definitely had my hands full, but things went smoothly with little complaints.

He had his first ear infection and he made sure it wasn't just some ordinary ear infection, it had to be a double ear infection. On Wednesday, my sister gave Mason his first haircut. He had what I call a "Donald Trump comeover". We didn't need to cut alot, but just some off of the top. I made sure to save all the strands for his book and take pictures. Luckily, my sister is an experienced hairstylist and had no problems with the little wiggle worm.

Thursday morning, I woke up early and put Mason on the bed with pillows all around him, while I reached for a clean diaper. When I turned around, he was pushing the pillows to the side and crawled for the first time. It wasn't just a slight crawl, he moved forward 3 times. I was so excited and so sad at the same time. We knew Mason was getting close to crawling and were hoping it would be delayed a week, so that Adam wouldn't miss it, but sure enough Mason decides to crawl when I least expect it. I don't think he even realized what he did. He only moves forward or backward a couple of times, so by the time we get back to California and in the new house, he will be in full force. I'll need to start baby proofing everything.
