September Phone Pictures

I am kicking myself right now for getting so behind on blogging. Each day I am overwhelmed by this little boy :) He cracks me up, fills me with joy & blesses me with a love I never knew possible. I wish I had kept up better what words he said when & specific things he did to melt my heart! Mason truly is the most fantastic thing that has ever happened to us! We are beyond blessed to be his parents!!!

September was filled with lots of fun... we were soaking up every minute of the end of summer!

Mason & his favorite buddy Brady at Imaginations at Play- our Thursday Afternoon Play Date :) If you live in the area & have kids & haven't checked out Imaginations...get your booty over there! I promise your little one will Thank you! We have to drag the boys out kicking & screaming each week! They can't get enough!


Mason & I frequently make stops on our way home after school... this particular day he was NOT feelin' Target so I gave him some crunchies & somehow he turned in to chill mo d!! My lil man was tryin to pick up ladies cruisin through the store all laid back! HE IS HILARIOUS & he knows it :)




Yea... just crusin Target with my Moms... leg up, no shoes, munchin on some crunchies :) We are so white trash :) hahaha

My sweet sweet friend Christy met us for breakfast at IHOP :) It doesn't matter how long Mason goes without seeing Christy - he goes RIGHT to her :) For some babies that might not be a big deal, but my son has a SERIOUS case of the MOMMYs!! My boy is a Momma's Boy without a doubt. He doesn't just go to anyone... so it's pretty cool that he will always go to Christy :)


Christy loves her some Mason so it works out :)




Not sure why he is sitting in the fridge... but I'm sure there was a good reason- probably involved me trying to cook dinner :)



That's right... Mason has a potty!! Thanks GRAMMIE :) He's only successfully used it once- we totally backed off on it :) We're waiting until Thanksgiving Break where I have a week off with him :) We'll give it a good try then, but won't really go hardcore with it until Christmas Break when I have three weeks home with him :) Hopefully we'll be done with diapers for 2011 :)



Mommy's last day on the Lake 2010 (Mason squeaked out one more trip with just Grammie & Grandpa) Our boy is a WATER baby for SURE!!! He was diggin' swimming in the lake :) I hope he loves the lake as much as everyone in the Baldwin Family :) I want him to learn to ski next year... we'll see how that goes :)



Mason's favorite part of being on the lake... DRIVING the boat! Yes- Grandpa actually lets him steer the boat- he LOVES circles!!



Swimming with Grandpa :) His special Buddy!!

Nothing better than a nap on the boat! Mason & MOMMY's favorite place to take a snooze - sun on your face, wind in your hair, peace all around! My baby loves the boat!!

Cinco de Marley... The Annual Baldwin Fiesta :)

The Baldwin Cinco de Mayo party had to be moved again this year... Mason's birthday party & then Marley's arrival pushed the Fiesta back a few months :)


Mason LOVES guacamole & salsa & ALL things related to Mexican food :) He helped Mommy make the GIANT bowl of guacamole this year!!!

Stir, Stir, GIANT BITE, Stir, Stir...



Yes... if you were at this fiesta & ate guacamole... You had MASON GERMS!! He is a total double dipper!!!
