New Phase

What a day... So Mason has learned how to climb up on the furniture.. and crawl! Because of this we're forced to get rid of our new (beautiful, awesome, perfect) coffee table. His little head gets way too close to those sharp edges on those unstable feet. We opted for 2 ottomans instead.

He is EVERYWHERE and all he wants to do is pull up on the furniture and is so frustrated when he can't move exactly where he wants to go. I think I'll actually be happy when he can start walking around because he sure seems to want to! Until then, let the baby proofing begin!

I look around and realize how baby friendly our house ISN'T. We have so much low furniture that's perfect for little hands to get into and the clean lines we love so much mean harsh edges for bumping into... I'm not sure what we're going to do!

One thing is for sure though- even if he's trouble he's such a joy and everyday is exciting!

Free Entertainment

So having a kid means constant entertainment, and Mason is only getting funnier. Yesterday he started a few new things. He's got a new favorite "crawling" position. He gets up on his hands and tiptoes- it looks hilarious. Also he figured out (with my help) how to turn off a light switch. He got it really quick and by bedtime he was the one who turned out every single light in the house. I'm so glad he won't be tall enough to reach them by himself anytime soon! What really made Mike and I laugh was this... Mason was looking longingly at my make up drawer: so many colors. I wondered what he would choose if I let him near it so I bent down with him and he picked up some blush... then immediately chose the brush that went with it. Kind of funny but we did it 5 or 6 times, each time he got to the drawer, he picked out the same two things. I guess he thinks he needs some color :-) If you don't have kids, this might all be boring but for me, it's just the best part of life. I love being a parent to the most amusing child in the world.
