To my sweet baby boy

I love that you come and sit on my lap when we read or throw the ball for Cayda.

I love that you get excited to eat fruit.

I love that you have a sparkle in your eye when you smile.

I love when you're tired and you come rest your head on me.

I love hearing you laugh when you play with Cayda.

I love that you come to me for comfort.

I love watching you sleep.

I love that you are curious about everything, yet still cautious.

I love when you look at me when you know you're about to do something you're not supposed to.

I love watching you splash in the bathtub.

I love being your mom.

I love you for who you are and I always will.

Mason loves fruit. I wanted to try to get some pictures of him and since he has this passion for fruit, I thought I would bribe him with it in order to get him to sit still. The problem is he gets so focused on eating it he won't look at me. I never realized "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" started this early! Here are some of the shots I did manage to get. I think the one where it looks like he's playing a flute is so funny.

Some of you know that I have been taking an online photography workshop. I am having a great time learning all there is and I still have sooo far to go. Last week my teacher really liked my homework that I turned in and decided to post it on her blog saying how much she loves teaching her students and what her workshop can do for their art.  If you want to check it out here is the link. There's also a comment at the end from someone else. Totally makes me blush, but she was very encouraging to me.
