Daddy's "big" little helper

With all the nice weather this weekend Austin spent a lot of time working in the backyard. We have finally found time to fill the massive hole we had from the sewer line and are working on tilling the yard and planting grass.

Mason was able to "help" dad with the work.

First they watered the hole to make sure the dirt had settled and wasn't going to sink. Next they cleaned the boat.

Cheech spent most of the time between my legs after they sprayed him

Mason stayed quite content in his pack.

Tummy Time

Mason absolutely HATES tummy time. Most of the time it last 2 minutes before he throws a fit. Lately he has been more tolerable of it and starting to get the hang of using his arms.

It works best on Sundays when there is football on the tv (already loves watching football!)

And when he is done he is done

Meeting Cheech

As many of you may or may not know we are down to just one dog. Rockie got out about a month or so ago and we were unable to find him. A few weeks ago we had to get rid of Bo because he was super destructive and tearing things up, as in our cable box off the house numerous times, boards off the fence, and even chewing through the under ground shock wire. The other day we took Mason out to meet little Cheech since he will soon be an indoor dog when the weather becomes too cold for him to remain outside. Both were very interested in each other. Cheech kept wanting kiss Mas. Mason kept smiling at Cheech.

Cheech is a very grumpy but friendly dog who doesn't like to be disturbed or messed with so we are interested in seeing how he does this winter once Mason becomes mobile. We know he will not hurt Mason but he is quite vocal in grunting and sighing, just like an irritated little old man.

Cheech decided he wanted on dad's lap too =)

Hanging out

Mas and I spend most of our days playing. He is really getting the hang of his toys and tries so hard to grab them purposely. He will stare at his turtle rattle and slowly move his hand all the way to it. He continues to stare but can't quite seem to make his hand open. I love watching him try to figure out new things by himself

And just some photos of my cutie

Bath Hair

Mason's hair has grown out of control! It is so long and when it is wet it is crazy. I love playing with it during and after his bath

The before....

and the during...

Good thing he is such a trooper and just plays while I mess with him =)

3 months

Mason turned 3 months last week.

He is growing fast and learns new things everyday.

Is still hates tummy time but is starting to at least try to lift his head with his arms

He loves to play and laugh

He talks and smiles A LOT

He HATES the carseat, as in screams every time he is put in it

He wears 6 month clothes and weighs 14.5 lbs!

Mason's first Fishing Adventure

austin and i have always talked about how we can't wait to go fishing with our little boy so decided to pack him up and go.

we left early in the morning before it got hot and right after feeding Mason breakfast, we hoped he would last a few hours. Austin threw in his lines and we enjoyed the cool morning air

needless to say Mas didn't last long and this is how he spent most of the morning

We still had fun fishing as a family and i know there is a lot more fishing memories to be made
