Nine Months Old Already!

On Sunday, Mason turned 9 months! He is growing and changing so fast! He can stand for quite awhile now...and can take about 2 steps before falling down. He's very strong and stable on his feet, he just doesn't really trust himself yet! I know before long I'll be reporting that he's walking all over the place!

Mason's 9 month picture with Big Bird

This week the boys had a night all to themselves when I had Parent Orientation at school. I'm staying very busy at school with two new teachers in my grade level. Hard to believe I'm the veteran now and have been at this for ten years! I think I'm more tired this week than I was last week...it's all catching up with me!

Thursday Mason had his 9 month pictures taken. As always, he did really well! It was just Mason and I, and the photographers could not believe how good and calm he was! After they were done taking pictures, they all wanted to hold/play with him, so I didn't have to worry about him at all! Here are some of his pictures:

This weekend we were at Papa/Grandma Farmer's. The boys have so much fun on the farm! Zane helped Papa mow hay for four hours and didn't want to quit! He could live on the farm!

Zane-isms

• After Matt picked Zane up from Jo's house, they drove through Sonic for a drink. Matt said, "Zane, do you want a root beer?" Zane said, "Si!" He's getting very multicultural!
• Zane does NOT like it when he has to ride in Matt's car...there isn't a DVD player in it! (How did we ever grow up and survive without them???) Matt told him that he would have to watch movies in the van later when I picked him up and the car didn't have one. Zane's solution...we need two vans!
