When Will Winter End?

This has been a weird weather week in the midwest.  We had a 70+ degree day and a barely greater than freezing day this week.  With the crumby weather, I suppose it was only appropriate that our poor kid would come down with a case of RSV and pneumonia.  Thankfully, he is quickly on the mend and nearly back to brand new.

Here are a bunch of pictures from the month of March...including a few from today!


Mason is a pro at standing up.  Once in a while he lets go with both hands and is able to remain standing for a short moment before kerplunking onto his diaper-laden behind!

My family came for a quick visit this past weekend.  Note the exciting new 'do Alex is sporting, courtesy of Tony.  Why they thought those lines on the side of his head were a good idea, I'll never know.

Look at those lashes...Martha and Mason's!

Happy in grandma's arms...

Checking grandpa out...

Oh, no!  Grandpa got too close!

Mason's cousin Leo isn't scared of grandpa.

Leo checks Mason out...too cute.

Getting cozy with Aunt Kirtie...

A new toy from Grandma and Grandpa!  Mason pushes it around and walks with it without falling!  Pretty impressive for 8 months old!

Mason's all-time favorite non-toy--the plastic bottle.

Uncle Al babysat for Mason for a few hours today...it was a successful arrangement!  Mason was diapered, fed and put to bed (well, nap...but I like rhyming).

And here Mason is again exhibiting his standing ability.  He's already looking like he feels great despite being home "sick" from daycare.

And for good measure, a picture of the delicious stuffed chicken breast dinner my wonderful husband prepared tonight.  He's showing me up!  I've got to break out some new dinner tricks!
