One Hit Wonder...

Wowzers...it's been awhile since my last post. Time is just trucking by. Mason is doing wonderful and becoming more mobile and curious with each passing day. He is an entertainer and loves to be entertained...the louder and sillier one acts, the harder he laughs! Mason turned 11 months old on June 5th. This means the big "1" is less than a month away!

As far as the title of this post....As you know, Mason said his first word last month. Well, he has never said "Kitty" again. So, we've decided he is a "One Hit Wonder"! He starting walking around furniture on May 18th. On May 21st we switched formula to Enfamil Gentlease Lipil. Our Pediatrician recommended this, although his rash was considerably better, it was still there. It seems to be cleared up for the most part. I think he just has super sensitive skin because we notice the rash when we have used sunscreen or when he has had a bath daily vs every other day.

Ok, some more "Mason's Firsts"...
*Attended his first birthday party on May 25th (Big D turned 4!).
*Watched his first Softball Tournament on June 1st (Daddy's team won!).
*First full day of daycare on June 2nd...he did awesome.
*First night away from Daddy on June 4th. Mason & I went to see my parents overnight for a family funeral.
*Mason went to his first dinner party on June 8th...a shrimp boil (of course veggies and fruits only for Mason)
*Daddy took Mason to his first day at the pool since being home on June 10th.
*Mason went to see the Women's USA Softball Team play last night!

Three more EN babies are coming home soon! Nathan, Gabriel and Danny (see Trusting For Seven, The Schommers and Warm Bottles & Hot Flashes)! Thank you, Lord, for uniting these families!

Now, what you really came for...PICTURES!

He is adorable as usual, and your Gracie cat is a saint!

I check in every day for pictures and news and every time I see new pictures I smile. Actually when there are no new pictures I get a kick out of travelling down memory lane.

Thanks for the update!
