January

New Year's Day:  All 5 of us enjoyed swimming at the All Season's Center!  I was excited to take Mason swimming.  I thought that since he loves bath time that he would also love the pool.  It turns out that it took him quite a while to adjust to the water and the noise, but he ended up relaxing and enjoying himself.

Dorian discovered that Mason could fit in this little wagon and that he enjoyed being pulled around in it. What a cutie! 

The boys and I had a lot of fun taking Nathan to a Skyforce basketball game in Sioux Falls. The wolf mascot was a big hit with the boys, along with popcorn and pop!

It's been a cold winter....very cold.  And our windows are terrible.  :(  I hate to think about how much it will cost to replace them someday.  Check out all of the frost on the inside of the window!

Love having Levi home so much yet this year and I think Mason is happy about that too!  :)

When Nathan comes home from work, Mason immediately stops what he is doing and crawls straight to the door to get a hug from daddy.  It's so sweet!!!

 I LOVE to see the boys playing happily together!!!

 Oh boy...Mason discovered the piano!  His excitement was certainly contagious!

 10 Months Old!

 I'm loving the little curls in his hair, but it's nearly time for a haircut. :)

 Mason is standing next to everything and his balance is improving.  He will let go and stand on his own now.

He has also learned to play catch.  He babbles "da" a lot.  He loves to open cabinets and take things out of them.  He has discovered the toilet water.  Aside from his 2 middle bottom teeth, he has one eye tooth and the other one just poked through so we're hoping that his 2 front teeth are in there somewhere.  :)  He loves to eat whatever we are eating.  He is now drinking only formula from bottles.  He takes 2 naps of varying lengths and typically sleeps from 7 at night until 6:30 in the morning.  He loves it when we crawl on the floor and chase him.  He brings great joy to our lives.
