Halloween and It's a Girl!!

Mason's first halloween was lots of fun. He hopped on over to Daddy's school for lunch (he was a kangaroo) and then went to Grandma and Grandpa's house to see Aunt Lee and have dinner and trick-or-treat. He had a great time visiting the Thompsons and wiping melted chocolate onto Mr. Greg...ooops, luckily he was a good sport. We didn't get a picture of Mason with Meaghan, but we will next time!!

Other news is that we had our big ultrasound and everything looks good. The baby GIRL is growing well and weighs about 8 oz. We tried to figure out how big that is and we think about the size of a fist. The technician said her femur is about 2.5 cm if that gives you any ideas of how big she is now.

Mason had a great weekend riding his first little bike and playing catch with Mom and Dad. He had his first flu shot and didn't even cry, what a trooper. He is crawling a lot more and loves to play in our newly organized basement!!

Here are some pictures from Halloween and our ultrasound.

Weekend of pumpkins

We had a good time this weekend at the Greenfield Village Halloween festival. We don't have any pictures of Mason in his Kangaroo outfit, but we hope to get some from our friends (bad Mommy forgot the camera).

On Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch with Levity and Olivia and had a great time taking pictures.

On Sunday we went back to the patch with the Kochs, Barnetts, Clemonses, and Tarmooms. All the kids had a great time running around and Mason picked out his own pumpkin and bonded with Brandon on the wagon.

Mommy thinks it's time for another haircut.

Here are some pictures from this weekend, there are a lot though!!!

10 Months Old

Mason turned 10 months old yesterday!!! At his last appointment (about 3 weeks ago), he weighed 23 pounds (85%) and was 31.5 inches (99%) tall - which is way off the charts!!! We have a very tall boy on our hands. He now has 5 teeth (2 lower, 3 upper) and is working on his 6th tooth (the 4th on top). We now have to brush his teeth 2 times a day, he loves it and laughs, but not so much when we brush the top teeth.

We are practicing standing and purchased a new toy to help him stand. He's become a little more steady, but still likes scooting around on the floor the most.

As for our big announcement last time, in case you missed it, we're expecting #2 in April, the official due date is April 10 (which is also Aunt Katie's birthday!). I had an appointment yesterday where everything looks great and the heartbeat was in the 160's (my prediction is a girl, we'll see if I'm right). Our big ultrasound is November 4th where we'll find out boy or girl as long as the baby cooperates.

In the next couple weeks we are very busy going to the pumpkin patch, greenfield village trick-or-treating, maybe the zoo, and other fall festivals. Stay tuned for some fun and spooky pictures next time.

The Button's Came to Michigan

It's been a while since we updated. Mason is now 9 months old and scooting like crazy. He has 3 teeth (2 lower, 1 upper) and is working on 3 more we think. He has started to say the "na" word which is close to "ma"!

Aunt Katie, Uncle Chad, and Mya came to visit us in Michigan a couple weekends ago. It was a great weekend full of parties and fun! On Thursday night the Button's arrived and we had fun eating dinner and catching up on all of Mya and Mason's new adventures. We couldn't believe how much Mya has grown and were super excited to see her smile at us (she loves Michigan!)

On Friday night the Koch's and the Clemmonses came over for dinner and everyone got to meet Mya and the Clemmonses new baby, Harper. Daddy cooked a delicious dinner for all of us and we played the Wii - even Mrs. Thornton hula hooped!!!

On Saturday Mason had his first official photo shoot for an online t-shirt company. He did a great job and we are really excited that he is on the website. The shirts are fun too - check it out - www.lolliduds.com. Mason can be seen modeling the My Mommy Rocks, Save the Trees, and Lovin' Life shirts. Mya and her mommy and daddy went to her mommy's cousin's wedding - congrats Brad and Erin.

On Sunday Mya's cousins, Aunt, grandparents, and Great Grandma came over to meet Mason and so that we could meet Leah and Emme. All the kids played well together and it was fun seeing them - Mason looks a lot like Leah and Emme!!!! Grandma and Grandpa also came over to meet Mya, Leah, and Emme. Our house was full! Later that night Aunt Jackie came over to see the Button's again and have dinner, yummy stir fry that Daddy cooked (even though the ladies did all the chopping!). It was a lot of fun to see Mya, Aunt Katie, and Uncle Chad and we already miss them. We'll see them next summer, but we can't believe both kids will be walking!!

This past weekend it was Aunt Lee's Birthday - Happy Birthday Aunt Lee!!! Mason spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's house and had a great time. Mom and Dad went to a movie and stayed up until midnight - wow - that hasn't happened in a long time. Sunday morning Grandma, Mom, and Mason went on a walk and then Mason and Mom shopped with Addisyn, Olivia, and Levity's mom's at the outlets for fall clothes.

Here is our slide show of pictures from the Button's visit. The last picture has a big announcement. Read the caption to see what it says.
