Some pics I have meant to post....

And a Video of my jumping maniac!!



We have HUGE mirrors in our house, and boy are they a hit! Mason (and numerous other children) gravitate toward them.





Crawling around the Evans's backyard with cousin Julia

He really wishes he could walk on his own.

Peeking out from behind the backpack

Mason LOVES that he gets to eat solids now! He loves all the veggies, but isn't quite sure about fruit yet...






And I leave you with a picture of Chris on the top of Mt. Whitney!!! Awesome job Chris!!!

Some Family Pics

Just a warning that there are a lot of pictures on here. I won't be offended if you don't look at them, but it is the best attempt we could make at doing some family pics and Mason's 6 month pictures on our own. Chris bought a new camera with the insurance money from the break in, and a new lens, so we thought we should try it out. I haven't done editing on any of them, but this is what we got. I love all the pics of Mason, but I need to lose more of that baby weight!!!

Could he be any cuter here?

He totally just started sucking his thumb yesterday, and we caught him in the act.

This is by far one of my favorites. I didn't know Chris was taking pictures still, I was just trying to get little guy to laugh. He caught us in the perfect moment together.

Another one I love of the Little Guy

This is my favorite of Chris with Mason.

Could we have a future Rock Climber?

6 Months

My little guy is 6 months old as of Monday. Where does the time go, and why doesn't it go by that fast while you are pregnant?!?!

Here are his stats as of his Doctors appointment on Monday:

Weight: 15.0 lbs. 10th percentile

Height: 26 in. 35th percentile

Head Circumference: 16.3 in. 5th percentile

So he has a small head....

Also, the doctor said we could finally feed him some solids. (YES!!)

(I think he wants more)

And for those of you that were wondering a bit more about what happened at our house, someone threw a rock through the window to get into the house. They didn't steal as much as they could have (my laptop was sitting right there, and they didn't take it) But they did get a chest of mine that had all of my non replaceable valuables. Bummer.

In memory of my Dress

I know that it is materialistic. But we got robbed last week, and I am in mourning of my wedding dress. Yeah, things could be worse. They got away with $4500 worth of stuff, but the thing that I am most sad about is my wedding dress. The other stuff is replaceable (well, minus a few other things that were in my "treasure chest" with my dress), but replaceable non the less. In fact, our renters insurance only took one day to pay us back the money it will take to replace cameras, etc. But my wedding dress was special to me. Of course because I got married in it, but also because I designed it, I bought and picked out the material, and I worked right with the women who sewed it (I can only do so much, if it was going to be wearable, someone else needed to sew it). So in memory of my wedding dress, a few pictures:

So if any of you wander into a pawn shop and see my wedding dress, please buy it for me. I will pay you back. Also things to be on the lookout for that cannot be replaced: My journals (who would want these, really. My life is way to boring to want to steal these.

Chris is quite excited to get a new camera, lens, filters, etc. Backpacks, in fact the backpack they stole had a bunch of stuff he had just taken to climb Mt. Whitney, so the insurance even gave us money to replace his underwear :) good thing.

Too Early....

I am just wanting everyone to know how sad I am. My 5 month old crawls. Not just army crawling, like, REAL crawling. He is all over the place today.....Tell me one good reason why he can crawl, but can't sleep through the night! Ughh. I don't have any pictures or anything yet. I just wanted everyone to know how sad I am that my baby is growing so fast.
