Mason will be 5 months old next week, and he suprises us everyday with a new trick. His latest is giving us kisses. He opens his mouth and rubs his lips on our cheeks. It is very sweet. He is very vocal and speaks to us all the time with yells and gurgles. We went to Raleigh for Jack's birhtday party, and Mason could not take his eyes off of the clown's neon colored suit. He adjusted very well to the car ride and a night away from his crib, so we believe traveling with Mason should be fun as he continues to grow older. We just started giving Mason solid foods, and he LOVES them. He was really excited about the bananas and sweet potatoes. Although he didn't completely spit them out, he would only finish about half the serving of peas.We are looking forward to creating some of our own recipes for Mason.
