our summer

We have been enjoying our summer a lot. It has been so nice to be able to stay home with Mason and enjoy him and all the changes he is going through. He is now 8 1/2 months old!! I cannot even believe where all the time went. He is a healthy happy boy that provides us with lots of entertainment :) Between his clapping, smiling, blowing raspberries, talking and rolling around, we are so blessed to be able to have him in our lives. Mason now has four teeth, two top and two bottom. He is consistently sleeping through the night, which feels great. Here are some pictures from summer so far. Mason is so tired from a long day in the sun. Here he was sitting outside on the deck watching daddy mow the lawn. He loves to be outside! He looks pooped.

This was last weekend when we visited my parents in Seattle. Mason was outside with grandpa on the deck. He is clapping for me.

This is what summer is all about. No shoes, no shirt, no problems. Just a diaper outside on the deck in the summer weather, sucking on some watermelon.

Mason and daddy were playing outside in the grass and he was giving us all sorts of smiles.

A few weeks ago, we went to watch one of Auntie Hannah's volleyball tournaments. Mason fell asleep in grandmas arms.
