Mason's favorite things:
* He loves to clap. This started today and it has continued all day until I put him down for bed.
* His new thing is to crawl up to you, in the midst of playing, and give you a hug and a kiss. It caught me by surprise the first time, because I didn't ask for a kiss or a hug, I was just playing right next to him. My heart melted immediately. Now I sit and anxiously await his hugs and kisses.
* He knows where the nose, mouth, eyes and ears are.
* Swimming. He never flinched or made a sad face when easing him into the water. Once he gets in his float, he kicks his feet and splashes around.
* Bath time. Again, he loves the water and he especially likes to crawl and climb all over the bath tub. It makes me a bit nervous, but I keep a close eye on him.
* People food. He no longer eats baby food. This is so nice, because I can give him what we are eating and it saves us money.
* Starting today, he no longer takes a bottle. I have been putting his formula in a sippy cup, so that when he switches to milk, it will make the transition easier. He never fussed about this and adjusted very well.

He is getting so big! I'm hardly going to recognize him. Only 6 weeks until we see you guys!!!
Mason is growing up! I love to hear about him giving hugs and kisses - he knows who mommy is. You have a beautiful family and Mason has a great mommy.
I can't believe how much our little ones have grown!! Lilly isn't interested in clapping or waving. She waves....but not like a normal wave...it kind of looks like "the claw" coming to get you. But everytime we say tell so-and-so bye bye, she does the claw. So i'll take that as a wave. I bet it's very cute though to see him clap and wave.
Bathtime also has me on the edge of my seat. She is all over the place and I'm scared she's going to slip. I got one of those bathmats that kind of looks like grass. She loves it....first time she sat in the tub and tugged at it forever. Now its lost its fun and its back to slippin and slidin!
