What a difference a few months makes

Well since my last post much has happened. Mason was sick with RSV for a good portion of February and has sucessfully navigated through strabismus surgery. Here are a few of the best shots that sum up what's been happening lately.

Just hanging out with my sister KoKo.

Feeding the birds at Tingley Beach with my mom.

Climbing a tree, well my shadow did anyway.

Standing!!

Perfecting my cheeseball smile:)

Here it is again!

Daddy's down for the count!

Last picture before surgery.

First picture after surgery.

Just a few hours after surgery and I'm almost back to normal! With straight eyes I might add:)

To Canada and back!

Well Mason can now say he is an international traveler! We made a quick trip to Canada at the end of January to see an energy doctror regarding Mason's eyes. We feel the trip was beneficial to the whole family and are glad for the experience. Mason was exceptionally well behaved the entire trip; he really does travel well. A three hour plane trip plus 5+ hours of driving and he smiled the whole way:) That's our boy!

We also had the opportunity to spend time with some of Phillip's cousins on his dad's side. It was wonderful to meet the different families and we hope to visit again soon (maybe in the summer next time!!!).

Riding in my own seat on the plane. I especially love take off and landing, so fun!

 I got to ride in the back with mommy and nana, I definately kept them entertained!

Canada is absolutely beautiful!

I helped dad drive for a while to give him a break.

It snowed, and snowed and snowed! This kittie didn't seem to mind at all.

 The Melvins are a musical group, I thought I'd try to impress them with my piano skills.

Mommy and Nana screamed and yelled watching car after car spin out and slide down this hill one day. Even a cop car ended up in the ditch!

The Melvin family! Thank you all for letting us crash at your house, we had a wonderful time!

A day at the park

Mason had his first trip to the park on Saturday. It was a beautiful day in the Southwest and he had a wonderful time swinging and enjoying the sunshine.

What a cute boy!

Just some cute shots of Mason:

Even in slumber, he still keeps a tight grip on Sophie:) 

Just helping Mom do laundry.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mason's first Thanksgiving was a success! He got to have turkey for the first time and he LOVED it. It turns out that our boy is one for the savory fare over sweet:) Hope all of our friends and family had a wonderful holiday.

Recent Happenings

Mason did wonderful on his first big boy trip. He was an angel on the plane and did great dealing with the hectic schedule we kept while on our mini vacay. It was wonderful to see our good friend Gabe, and he hooked us up on the hotel front! Our rooms at the Hyatt were amazing. The race went well with Phillip finishing 26.2 miles in about 3 hours and 30 minutes and Ivy finishing 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 19 minutes. Phillip was even on the front page of the Marathon section of the San Antonio newspaper:)

In addition to this we also received some wonderful news on Wednesday. Mason's surgery has been cancelled due to vast improvement in his alignment. We have another appointment on January 5th to re-measure to see if the improvement continues. Thank you to everyone who has kept our boy in your thoughts and prayers.
