We sometimes refer to my chair as the “happy chair” because that is where I eat and when I eat I am happy. But we forget that once the food is gone, it is no longer a “happy” chair, but just a chair. I don’t want to sit in just a regular chair. So recentlyContinue reading “Trying to escape chair”

“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” ― Alfred That’s good advice, Alfred. Very good advice.

I’ve very good at supported walking. I can hold on to the coffee table and sidestep around it. I usually do this to try to reach something that Mommy and Daddy have put out of my reach. This is often their phones or the remote. But today I saw Mommy eating some delicious looking breakfastContinue reading “Stalking prey”

These days, I spend a lot of time on the couch. I’m not vegging out or being lazy or anything like that. I’m always very active. I’m climbing, exploring, searching for hidden phones and remote controls, and in general very busy. The couch is not a place to sit and relax for me. It isContinue reading “Couch time”

I thought I had a lot of hair before, but look at it now! It just keeps growing and growing! Look how long and luscious it is! I can’t believe I use to think I had a lot of hair at one month old. That is nothing compared to now!

It is fun to horse around, but it is important that no one gets hurt. I think I may be too strong. I may have to dial it back a bit. Poor Daddy. Not only did he get pinned, he might have lost some hair too. Horsey back rides are starting to make it intoContinue reading “Pinning and riding Daddy”

I’m trying out some new hairstyles. What do you think about the pigtails? Pretty, yeah? I might stick to the topknot, but pigtails aren’t bad.

I think I mentioned before that I’m practicing feeding myself by learning to eat finger foods. Mommy made me some hamburger patties to practice with. They were a good way for me to practice biting off small pieces because they were soft. But they were soft so the were easily squished in my strong grip.Continue reading “Hamburger patties”

So I push or pull this door here. Then it moves this way or that way. Once I get it open I can crawl through. Too easy.

I think my toy box is magic. No matter how many toys I take out the day before, they are alway magically back in the box when I wake up the next morning. It is amazing. Especially because I don’t just take toys out, I dump them out. I figured out how to tip theContinue reading “Toy box”

Mommy and Daddy aren’t able to go out to eat very often. But they figured it was time to celebrate both of their birthdays with a yakiniku dinner! (Both of their actual birthday dinners were at home.). They figured that I’m big enough and well behaved enough to go out to eat. They were right.Continue reading “Yakiniku”

My daily adventures lead me into some awkward positions. For me to find new things to play with I often have to stretch or squat. I also squeeze and slither into areas where I was blocked off from. It feels like every day more things are coming to be within my reach.

I love to eat bananas! They are some of the sweetest things that I get to eat. But I get so excited that I tend to take hug bites of the banana. Mommy and Daddy are worried about me choking if I take too big a bite, so they try to pull the banana awayContinue reading “Banana bites”

Hello! Welcome to Mason Inc.. Do you have an appointment? Alrighty, let me just look up your information. Ah, yes, of course. Please have a seat and we’ll be with you shortly.

Just saying hello to my doggy after waking up from my nap. He seemed really excited to play with me.

I really enjoy my weekly FaceTime chats with Grandma and Grandpa! I’ve been a lot more interactive recently. I grab the iPad to try to play with them, I look behind it to try and see them, and I try to reach through the iPad to touch them. Sometimes when I touch the iPad screenContinue reading “Photographic FaceTime”

I am Mason, Dinosaur Hunter! I have successfully vanquished my first dinosaur, the terrifying tyrannosaurus rex. No dinosaur is a match for me, the mighty dinosaur hunter. Dinosaurs, be afraid, be very afraid! You are my sworn enemies! Muwahahaha! Actually, I quite like dinosaurs. This balloon dinosaur was my play buddy for a while. ThisContinue reading “Dinosaur Hunter”
