Mason's 1st Birthday

Our sweet little Mason turned one last Saturday on April 23. Can't believe it has been an entire year, it has gone way too fast. We have a little boy now and not a little baby. I can't imagine life without this little guy!


I fixed pancakes and eggs for breakfast, his favorite!


Of course, you have to get the syrup, right?
The best part!

Mason's favorite part about his birthday: the balloons! He has been playing with them nonstop.

Thank you Grandmas and Grandpas for the cards and all the new summer clothes! He is all set for summer now!

Mason's present from us. A water table and a little chair just his size!

Mason loves the huge fish tanks at the zoo and loves to watch the fish swim around so I thought this would be a fun cake for him! The girls loved making this cake with me.

We loved these chocolate rocks, they looked real!


This was not his first time trying cake and especially ice cream. Mason doesn't really like cake, so he didn't get too messy, but he loves ice cream!!

Mason at 1 Year:

Mason has such a sweet personality and has brought so much joy to us!

He loves people! He stares and smiles at people until they look at him and then he smiles a ton at them and can't get enough of people talking to him. He is not shy at all and will go to anyone.

He loves his mama. No matter where we are he will be playing and then every once in a while he will come up to me to check on me and I will hold him and kiss him and then he will get down and be on the go again.

Mason can't hold still. He is just like his sisters this way. He is also fearless like they are. He is everywhere. He walks so good and can get going pretty fast. He loves to climb. He also loves when we chase him.

Mason is a picky eater. Opposite from his sisters. The only vegetable he will eat is frozen peas.
He loves meat, cheese, yogurt, and soup and is pretty picky about fruit too.

Katelyn and Kylie can make Mason laugh so hard. He loves to follow them and he loves to wrestle with Kylie.

Mason is a light sleeper, opposite from the girls. It is a struggle at nap time to keep the girls quiet enough for him to sleep. He sleeps great at night though. He sleeps from 7:30 to 7:30 everynight.

Mason puts everything in his mouth, it drives us crazy!! He especially loves to eat crayons and chalk.

Mason loves fish, puppies, water, throwing stuff, and being outside.

We love this little boy and are so grateful for him!
