Eureka!

I know I have been a bad blogger, but nothing new has really been going on and there's probably only four people who actually look at it:-) David and Mason are both sick right now.  I think they have the flu possibly.  On a good note, Mason is finally starting to wave bye bye! Woo hoo!  It takes him a while to copy us, but eventually he does.  He has a little drum that makes noises and after a certain amount of time it goes off by itself and says Bye Bye.  David said this morning that Mason waved to it. I'm not sure if that's totally true or not, since he often exaggerates his stories, but I'll take it none the less. He also walked along the couch to get to his bottle. So walking may be getting closer than we thought.

I have been practicing on my photoshop elements software and am still hoping to take a class this summer.  Here are the before and afters.  That's all for now.  

Before

Some cuddle time

Mason is not really a cuddler. He doesn't really like to be confined. Changing his diaper and clothes are difficult because he is being forced to stay in one position. Often I have to pin him down while he's screaming his head off just to get him dressed. He'd rather be crawling around getting into trouble. I now have to put the dog's water dish on a table. Otherwise, he'll crawl straight for every time and splash in the water (he loves baths). He recently climbed all the way up our 16 stairs with no help. Next month we will have to invest in some baby gates.  Right now he is standing on our Wii platform holding on to the back of his bouncy seat. Every once in awhile though, I get a rare moment where he will snuggle with me, making my day.  Usually he will cuddle right after he wakes from his nap when he hasn't quite woken up.  But that only lasts a few minutes. This time he fell asleep in his car seat and I was able to hold him after we took him out. I would have stayed there all night if I thought he would have stayed like that. Here is a picture.
