On the move!

Wow, have we been busy! Mason has continued with his army crawl and he is picking up speed! He also loves to stand, climb on the couch and "walk" holding onto people's hands. He started cruising yesterday, taking steps holding onto objects. He is still very wobbly and has no balance, but he still likes to try! The weather has been wonderful the last two days... in the 80's! We have spent time outdoors watching soccer games and giving Mason rides in his wagon. We think Mason has started teething though. He had a very hard day today with a runny nose, drooling and fussy. I feel so bad when there is nothing I can do to make him feel better! Poor little man!

Mason 7 Months Old

Mason is 7 months old today! He can do an army type crawl and is so close to doing the regular crawl. He is pulling himself up into a standing position. Today it seemed like all he wanted to do was stand! He is sure going to keep us busy as he is becoming more mobile. I think he will keep the animals busy too (as evidence in the above photo with Charlie!). He has been so much fun and I can't believe how fast time is going!

Chiovaro Family Vacation

We are back from our vacation at Myrtle Beach, SC. We had a great time! There are so many activities to do in Myrtle Beach and I don't think we even did half of the things that looked interesting. We went to the zoo, played golf, spent a day at the beach, attacked the Nascar Speedpark (Mason and I just observed there!), played in the pool at our condo, went to Medieval Times and got some shopping in. Mason loved hanging out with his cousins every day! He was so excited to see them first thing in the morning. Mason worked on his crawling and he is so close! He had a hard time sleeping on vacation with all of the excitement and new environment. That made for a not so restful vacation for me, but we still had fun! The dogs and cat did great while we were gone with our pet sitter. They were excited to see us though!
These two pictures are of Mason at the beach. He loved the sand! We had to keep his binky in so he wouldn't eat it!
