All of a sudden he walks more then he crawls. It is sad, but so cute. I love how much fun a toddler is, but I could live with out the attitude. He now slumps in the floor and cries when he does not get his way! Mason is cutting all 4 molars, and I think they are really painful, so he has been quite grumpy for about a week. Last weekend Grandma came in town and took Mason outside all day Sat and Sun morning. Mason LOVED it. They walked around and picked up sticks and played with bubbles. Grandma was a HUGE help while we painted Masons bathroom!! I did take Mason to the park one day this week and he loved everything, but the swing. I think we will go back as soon as the nice weather returns.

Walking

We are walking!!!!! I cannot believe my baby is turning into a little boy!! It is bitter sweet. He is talking a lot now as well. Even his daycare teacher commented on how much he can say. His newest words are Papa (Laura's Dad), Apple, tick tock (clock), and he is now trying to say "Bi-bo" for his belly button. We try to work on a new word each week. He had a great time with Papa and Grandma this weekend. Papa took him for a ride on the golf cart and he played outside at Gigi and Pawpaw's. He LOVES to be outside (something else he tries to say). He is getting better and better each day with his walking and we know before long he will be running from us!

Poor Mason has had a rough few weeks. He had a bad case of RSV (which is a respiratory virus) and ear infections. He had high fevers and we had to give him breathing treatments. After about a week he was better. We went back to work and daycare and the next weekend he came down with another high fever and hand,foot, and mouth. He had sores all over his tongue and bumps on his arms and legs. So, we are finally all better and did I mention in all of it he got his 5th and 6th tooth. Whew, I hope that we are done with illness for a while. Masons new word is "ball" and he likes to point out everything that looks like a ball! When we went to the grocery store the other day we walked through the fruit and he was telling us there were balls there!!! :-) He also loves to blow kisses now so I put a video up of kisses!! Hope everyone had a great Valentines day!

We have had a busy few weeks. Sickness Sickness Sickness. Matt and I recovered from a GI bug fast enough to head to Lynchburg for the weekend for Mason and Olivia's baptism. It was a beautiful and very special day. Mason behaved very well. We came home and Mason became sick on Monday. After a few nights of high fevers I took him to the doctor to find out that he has 2 ear infections and RSV. He has been on breathing treatments 3 times a day and antibiotics since Thurs, and I think he is finally starting to feel better. Hopefully we have had our share of illness for a while. We are looking forward to having a healthy house again!! Grandma and Papa Woodroof will be here next week to visit!!! Enjoy the pictures!! Sorry that there will be no snow pictures (again). I don't think I can take Mason out in it, so maybe the NEXT snow storm he can go out!!!!!

Happy Birthday To Mason!

Mason had a great 1st birthday party. The house was packed with people who love him!! He got lots of wonderful gifts and I think we can now start a small toy store from our home! :-) Thanks everyone who made this day special!!!

Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday

We can't believe it is all over now. We had a very Merry Christmas, followed by a Happy Birthday. Mason had a great time and was spoiled by all of his gifts. He had fun seeing all of this family! We did not eat his cupcake, but woke up the next morning with a stomach bug, so maybe that is why!?? He is feeling better now, THANKFULLY!!! Thanks for giving him such a good first year! He is a lucky boy to have so many people who love and care about him!! Happy New Year!!!

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas!!

We are all doing well, and prepping for Christmas. This week begins the many nights of going to see family and friends before we head to Lynchburg to see the Woodroof/Evers family. This will be the first year that Grandma Joan and Grandpa Steve have Grandbabies to celebrate with and we think it is going to be a lot of fun!!! We hope that everyone has a blessed holiday!

We can't help but dread the fact that as soon as the holidays are over our little guy will be 1!! OH MY! It is hard to believe that this time last year he was not with us yet! Can't wait to celebrate with everyone. GOD BLESS!

Oh and I almost forgot!! Mason saw his 2nd snow fall. His first was when he was 2 months old. We got a total of 14 inches here in Richmond.
