Happy Thanksgiving

Mason's Christmas present from Grandpa and Grandma Chiovaro

Rob's mom, dad, sister Cris and nephew Ryan came to visit for Thanksgiving. We had a great time the few days they were here. On Wednesday we had brunch at our house and played some wiffle ball. We had Thanksgiving at Rick and Cathy's house and there was no shortage of food! The one great thing about being pregnant is that I am not so worried about the holiday weight gain! We also celebrated Christmas on Thanksgiving night since Rob's parents and sister are staying in New York for Christmas. Friday we ventured out for some bowling. Mason kept us running as he was not content to just sit there and watch!

Mason enjoyed having all four of his boy cousins around f0r several days in a row. He has fun chasing after them and trying to join in. Mason has been "talking" more. It is really funny to listen to his baby talk. It is like he is having a conversation with you although you don't know what he is saying.

New pictures... Finally!

Mason as a Dragon for Halloween. Aunt Cathy Made this costume about 10 years ago for Bradley!

New Elmer Fudd hat!
Self feeding... some how more yogurt ended up outside of his mouth!

Well, we have been very busy! Thus, I have not posted for about a month! We have been working around the house a bit. Rob has installed new hardwood floors in our loft. We are preparing the house for Rob's family who are coming for Thanksgiving. We will soon then be preparing for turning the guest room into a new babies room! If you haven't heard the news, we are expecting baby number two in May 2008.

Mason has really blossomed. He loves to imitate us! It is amazing how well he remembers things. I showed him one time how to brush Clemens the dog. About a week latter he saw the dog brush, went over to Clemens and started brushing him! Mason's upper front teeth are finally erupting! He definitely looks more like a little boy instead of a baby. He loves to play outdoors which may become a bit of a challenge as the weather is getting colder. Mason also enjoys coloring, playing with Thomas trains and blocks. He is saying a few more words and tries to copy what I say. The other day I called for Bob (Rob goes by Bob here... I know confusing!) and Mason said "Bob" as well!

We will keep you all updated on the baby news and Mason's accomplishments!
