Christmas decorating

Well I thought we could make it until after Thanksgiving, but I couldn't. Christmas time is my favorite, and I had to start decorating. So Chris put the tree up, and lights, and Baylie and I started putting decorations up. This year it was so much fun, because Baylie actually understands you when you say "can you please put this ornament on the tree for me." She was having so much fun, I did have to move most of what she did, because she kept hanging everything in the same area, and on the same branch. We had so much fun this afternoon, almost enough to take the tree down and start all over again.

Baylie and her Kitty

For Baylie's 2ND Birthday, Chris's Mom gave Baylie a Build-a-Bear. She took Baylie to the shop and let her pick out any animal she wanted, and she picked a kitty. The Kitty came home with two cute little outfits, and it even has little underwear. Well the next week she received a Tinkerbell outfit. So She decided her and the kitty were going to wear their Tinkerbell outfits together, while watching the new Tinkerbell movie, the lost treasure. She does everything with her kitty. She Has tea parties, gives the kitty stroller rides, and even makes the kitty go to the restroom. Unfortunately, poor Mason has to hold her kitty, and take picture with her kitty. Oh well at least she is learning to share.

Who would of thought that making a workshop to build Bears would be such a hit. I only wish I would of came up with it. First the child or adult gets to pick the animal they want. Then there is a stuffing machine, where you can pick how plump you want you stuffed animal. There is even hearts you get to put in the bears. Then there is a washing zone, to give you animal a bath ( it is just air to blow off the stuffing). Then you get to pick the clothing, this is where they have to be making all there money. There is anything you can image for these animals. Doctor outfits, swimsuits, dresses, Tinkerbell outfits. Then You register you animal and give them name. Build a Bear is like American Doll but for younger children. I'm just praying Baylie will not get into the American Doll obsession. Ive Heard you can take your Doll to the spa. What will they think of next?

big smile

Mason at 6 weeks, he is my little chubs.

A babies first smile, is something you will always remember, and makes the sleepless nights all worth it. Today was not Mason first smile, just the first smile I caught on film. Surprisingly it did not take much effort, all I had to do was smile, and he smiled right back. I think he looks so handsome when he smiles, and maybe I just think this because he is my child. I believe that Mason is going to be a very happy child, just like Baylie, believe it or not there are very grumpy children out there.With Mason time has gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I had him, I know it is because I have two kids to run after now. This is just one of the many first that Mason will achieve, like sleeping through the night, his first tooth, crawling, walking, talking and many others. One thing I do have to watch though is that I'm not waiting for the next stage and missing what is right in front of me. I just need to enjoy what Mason is doing right now, because you only get the baby stage once in a life time.
