Mason is 1!

Mason's cake made by Uncle Rick

Mason digging into his very own caterpillar cake!
Mason had his first birthday on the 12th! We did a little celebration on his real birthday with cupcakes. On Saturday, we had a Baby Einstein themed party for him at our house. We grilled burgers and hot dogs. Mason was so excited to have Uncle Rick, Aunt Cathy, cousin Bradley, cousin Ben, cousin Blake, Grammy (Cathy's mom), Joe, Julie, Jacob and Evan at his party. We played some wiffle ball home run derby (mason was running around wishing he knew how to play!). Mason received many fun toys, new clothes and some gift cards. He even got his first set of golf clubs! I will have to take pictures of him and his new clubs!
Mason is so smart and it is fun to watch him learn. For his birthday he received a frog bath puppet. After I helped him open it, he went right over to his Baby Einstein DVD's and picked up the one with the frog on the front. The frog puppet looks just like the one on the DVD and it is amazing how Mason remembered! His motor skills are improving too. He can run and spin in circles. Mason loves the outdoors and now that he walks so well, we spend a lot of time outdoors. His other favorite thing is stacking items or putting lids on. We are having so much fun!

I was hoping to see pics from the big birthday! He's such a cutie and I love the pic with you and him...so sweet! It sounds like he's at such a fun stage. Sometimes I can't wait for Carina to be there, but then sometimes I don't want her to get bigger. Anyway - I'm glad to see Mason had a great birthday & pass on my praise to Uncle Rick - what cute cakes for both of you!!
