First Snow

On New Year's Eve, we woke up to snow on the ground! It was the perfect opportunity to bundle up Mason in his new snowsuit and play outside!

The only time he stood still because the snow suit was so bulky!
This is what happened when we tried to stand him up in the snow
Yummy, feels good on my teeth!

Breaking out the ol' sledHe could barely sit up on it
Poor baby can't move!
It was worth being immobile!

Merry Christmas 2007

For the most part we had a very nice Christmas this year.... of course the big surprise for everyone is that we're expecting baby #2 sometime late July! It's still all about Mason, so here are some of the highlights of his 2nd Christmas.

Ready to open gifts
The camo outfit Dad got me
Computer literate at age 1
Look at this mess!
What does that mean? :)


Our Family

Katelyn got a huge moon bouncer and Mason loved playing in it!

Dancing for joy! (The joy of Christmas)


Working off all that energy from a long day of visiting family and opening presents!
How precious- night, night.

It's Party Time!

Mason's First birthday party was a success, he had a lot of fun!

You can tell by his expression- so big!

He didn't know what to think about the whole cake and candle thing
"Why am I getting all of this attention?" he wonders
Not the cake devour we expected
Very clean for the most part
He did not even finish his cupcake, oh well there's no harm in him not liking sweets!

Cake #1 (I made)
Cake #2 (I made also)
Cake #3 (I panicked and had one professionally made!) Needless to say there was enough cake.
I had girls at my party!
Grandpa- hogging the guest of honor!

Mason is ONE!

November 23rd, 2007- One year old. Hard to believe! I really believe Mason felt special today, even though he doesn't understand birthdays, he acted very happy and was in a good mood (most of the day). Here are the highlights of his first birthday.





Right after he woke up....
We said Happy Birthday!
Ready to get the day started.
First thing he saw when he came downstairs were his presents.
Of course the ribbons were the most interesting...

What's inside?

What do you call this thing? The "Bead Rollercoaster", I guess! But he liked it!

We went out shopping for a little while (had to it was Black Friday:) and we put on his "I'm 1 year old today" pin.

Well, the day is over for another year. Now I'm ready for bed after an exciting day and I'm wearing my new jammies Dad got me! If you thought today was fun, Mason, wait until your party tomorrow!!

Thanksgiving 2007

This year we actually got to have Thanksgiving dinner as a family. This was the plan last year but Mason came a little early and decided he wanted to be born on Thanksgiving. We went to Dave's Uncle John's and Aunt Edna's house.



The Bailey-Werner-Pearl Family!

Mason with his Great-Uncle John
Besides the holiday, Mason received his first birthday presents!
Not sure how to unwrap yet...
Aunt Melissa designed this "elf hat" for the boys this Christmas.

He was not exactly thrilled with the gift until we got it out of the box

This was so cute, Mason accidentally fell onto Liam's lap, which made Liam cry! They are certainly going to be rougher than that when they get bigger!

Look Who's Walking!

Mason took his first steps about 2 weeks ago, and as you will see by this (short) video he's really gotten the hang of it! Officially a toddler!

A Day at the Park

It was a beautiful November Friday and I decided to take Mason to the park. He is just starting to be big enough to enjoy the playground equipment. By next spring when its warm again, he'll be running around!



His favorite ride

In the tunnel

Loved swings since he was 6 months

Not quite big enough to go down the slide alone
Lots of fun!
