9 months old

Our precious baby is 9 months old and I can't believe how much he has learned over the past month!!!  Really, it's crazy.  I'm not sure I can remember all of the milestones.
 
He loves to explore and he is getting into many more things around our house. 
He loves to play with Molly's kennel and one day I found him inside!  :)
 
He learned how to open up cupboards which keeps him entertained, but there is always something on the floor.  These days it's not really possible to keep the floor perfectly picked up.
Which leads me to this next photo which I'm kind of embarrassed to post.  Nathan was gone for 3 days to MI and one night after all 3 boys were in bed I was walking around the house, and in each room there was a mess to clean up.  Baskets of books and a trash can that Mason tipped over.  Coats and boots on the floor.  Dishes that stretched from the sink to the oven.  Toys on the floor.  Craft projects from the older boys.  Instead of being overwhelmed which sometimes happens, I went around taking pictures.  This is my life.  It's good.  The house was quiet and my 3 beautiful boys were sleeping.  We have a beautiful, warm home even though it's been incredibly cold outside.  And instead of picking up, I chose to watch the finale of American idol and enjoyed every minute of it.  The house did get picked up again....the next day.  Some days are like that, you do what you need to do to keep everyone happy.
It's getting harder each month to catch Mason for a picture.  He is on the move.  He crawls faster every day.  He is curious about everything.  He pulls himself up next to whatever he can. 
I've seen him a couple of different times dancing to music!  :)  It's adorable!
I love his smile!



You can't see his teeth, but the bottom 2 poked through!
I love his big blue eyes.
I love his tiny little hands and feet!
