First Bowl of Cereal

Bumper and I have been waiting for the day when Mason begins eating food.  We knew it would start slowly but we were still really excited.  It was just our luck that one night in October our wish came true and Mason got his first bowl of baby cereal.  Bumper sat patiently in the kitchen near Mason's high chair and just waited and hoped, but those of you who know me would say "Hercules is definitely not the type to just sit and wait" So of course, I had my nose right there in the action.

 

As you can see, I could not keep my nose out of Mason's face. Lucky for me he didn't mind.  And now we sit patiently (well sort of) by Mason each night as he gets his cereal with the hopes that we will get to lick the bowl.  Dad is a big sucker so he usually gives in and lets us.  Soon we will be eating all sorts of Mason food, but for now we are happy with rice cereal.

Trick or Treat

This year wasn't the first year that we chose to dress up for Halloween, but it was the first time for Mason and we decided that we would coordinate our costumes.

 Since Mason loves Monkeys, we decided he could be a monkey, and we would be his bananas!  We think the pictures speak for themselves.

Fall Favorites: The Pumpkin Patch

Every year we take a trip out to the apple orchard and pumpkin patch. We always make sure to pick up our favorites: apple cider, apple doughnuts and apple for frah baked apple pie.






This year we decided to pick pumpkins from the pumpkin patch and carve them for Halloween. Mason fell asleep early and ended up sleeping the entire time, but we got our pumpkins and carved our little pumpkin family. Mom even dropped pumkpin scraps on the floor for us to eat. She tried telling us that if we eat the seeds a pumpkin plant will grow in our stomachs but so far no plant!

Bring it on cold weather

The cold weather is coming whether we like it or not. There are even rumors of snow coming by the end of the month. We have been busy putting away our warm weather clothes and getting out our favorite scarves and sweaters. This year we had to make sure Mason has everything he needs to keep warm this winter. He has two warm hats (we are really fond of the puppy hat), a snuggly coat and even a manly pair of snow boots.


















We cannot wait for the first snow to take Mason out to play for the first time.

Mason a.k.a Mr. Personality

Our computer is on the fritz, so we are trying something new, blogging via email using Mom's phone. Let's hope this works. Mom's iPhone keypad is not paw friendly but we wil do our best.

Our little bro has been hamming it up and really smiling up a storm for some time now. He will give the biggest smiles and on plenty of occasions pretend to be shy by smiling and trying to hide his little face. He has also really turned into quite the chatterbox.  We started sitting at the table more with Mason and he just chatters away (we are still confused about language he is speaking, it doesn't seem to be dog or human).  The other day we got a big surprise during a diaper change. Normally Mason thinks getting his diaper changed is a pretty cool event, but this time it must have been down right halarious because all of a sudden he was laughing out loud!  Of course by the time Dad tried to record it he decided he was done. But we have been getting  more and more laughter ever since. Diaper changes are the funniest but eating dinner at the table is a close second.
