Vecindad

Tim is a kid person. I think it must have something to do with being the youngest in his family. He could hang out with kids all day just playing pass or listening to their stories. Some of my favorite pictures of Tim are with his nephews when he was in high school - after his football games or at a sleep-over.
We have a family that lives next door, the Alexanders, that have two of the cutest kids and since we don't have a fence between our yards we get to see them all the time. This summer Tim would spot the six-year old boy, Caden, outside practicing football and he just couldn't help himself. They spend hours playing out on the lawn and I really couldn't say who enjoys it more.
 
One time Cade had to go inside for dinner and he let Tim know that when he was back outside it meant he was ready to play again. About twenty minutes later we heard this strange beeping noise in the backyard and looked out to see Cade riding his scooter across the lawn making noise and hoping Tim would notice, but not daring to knock on the door.

So basically, he's adorable. Yesterday he brought over this gift for Tim.

Cambios Importantes: Updated

Everyone told us (over and over) and how much having a baby would change our lives and they weren't joking around. It is absolutely amazing how much better our lives are now. I can't imagine things any other way. I mean seriously...what girl wouldn't want to spend her days with these two gents.



Mason was blessed by his dad in church a couple of weeks ago and he looked like a total pimp. I'm not sure if you can use church and pimp in the same sentence but there it is. P.I.M.P.


The blessing was beautiful. I married a pretty amazing guy. Most of our families were there to support us (sorry Tim didn't call you a little sooner, Sue) and we had a great time with them.
 
 

The one question I keep getting from everyone is some variation of how is Mason sleeping. The answer? He's not. It's slowly getting better but I am a very groggy, very happy mom. He does have the growing thing down - at two months old he's over 13 pounds and nearly 24 inches. And he is trying so hard to talk to us.

Birdie

Apparently Mason isn't a huge fan of the bottle.



Let's take a closer look at that.

Eat your heart out

Mason will be two weeks old tomorrow - the days have been flying by. It feels like I was pregnant for three years but now the time is passing too quickly. He is just a perfect baby. He never fusses unless he's hungry and even then we can't get over how cute he is. Being a parent is so much better than I anticipated. It doesn't hurt that I got this smiley little guy.
