A big day!

Not only was yesterday Mother's Day, but it was also Mason's 3 month birthday, AND he was dedicated at church!
Judy snagged a few pictures for us (becki, waiting on yours!). In this first one she snagged me in some sort of half smile. You see Mason was real interested in what was going on.
When we have dedications we (parents) stand before the church and dedicate our child to the Lord and promise to raise them in a Godly home. Our pastor then prays over each child, asking God to protect them and be with them through their life.


Mason and Pastor Mike


This was the best picture we could get of the kids together after church!


And here's the big 3-month-old! He enjoys sitting in his bumbo seat for a short time. He has discovered his hands and likes to look a them a lot--at least when they aren't in his mouth! That is usually where they are, though. You'll see in the next few pictures!







Brothers! Wyatt is still so happy that he has a little brother. He told me last week that all boys should have a brother!




Let's see....Mason has stopped sleeping in his swing for more than 20 minutes, so today we're trying a nap in his crib. So far he's been asleep for 48 minutes! At night he gives me a good 6 hours straight, and one night last week we got 8!
He is chewing on his hands and drooling constantly. Wyatt and Natalie had their first teeth at 4 months, so i'm going out on a limb and saying that he is likely teething. Sometimes he will be chewing and just start screaming. I suppose we'll see if he really is working on some.
He occasionally rolls front to back, and tries so hard to do back to front. He talks and smiles a lot, and already loves the big kids so much.
And at bedtime he still wants to be in his cradle, so most nights we put him down and he falls asleep quickly.
And something funny...Natalie has taken to changing her diaper when I ask her to watch him for me (usually while i'm in the shower or cleaning). She sure does a good job getting it on but can' seem to get him re-dressed. She's such a good helper!
Time is definitely flying by already.
