Mason is 1!!!!!

The day has finally come! Mason is no longer my baby boy, well he will always be my baby boy, but he is now a super energized toddler boy! He turned 1 year old yesterday. CONGRATS TO MY SWEET LITTLE ANGEL! I LOVE YOU!

I still can't believe that a year ago I had a baby. I still can't and probably never will remember most of my labor, which is a good thing as Matt tells me, but It just seems impossible that I and Mace could be in one piece after having a baby. It is just a miracle.

We spent Mason's birthday down in Williamsburg, VA. Our air conditioning unit was getting replaced with a brand spanking new unit and we had to skip town to avoid the heat in the house, so we went on a little vacay. We stayed at this swanky hotel that reminded me of the Dirty Dancing hotel because it had different activities schedule throughout the day. It was missing Patrick Swayze teaching salsa though. Mace went to finger painting this morning but had more fun playing in the kid area. We also went to the pool last night and he had a ball with that too. For Mason's birthday we went to 5 Forks Cafe, which is a place that is trying to get the show Diners, Drive-in and Dives to show up. It was really really good. Then we went to the outlet mall and on the way home picked up these divine cupcakes. Oh they were so yummy and as you can tell from the pix below MASON LOVED IT!

We had  just a really relaxed day and just spent it together. That is all we needed. However, Sat is Mason's b-day party and we are looking forward to that.

Mason is not quite walking independently yet but will be soon. I think he really does admire Archer way too much and is trying to walk like him and just likes to crawl around. He does walk on 2 feet around the furniture and has tried to walk on his own but it is quickly followed by a tumble down. Mason loves food. He is a pig really. He eats a ton. And we will see next week how much he has packed on. His favs at this point are french toast, mac and cheese and little crackers. He also likes to and wants to feed himself a lot more. We are working on that. He also throws tantrums. Quite melodramatic tantrums. It is really funny to watch but it gets old pretty quick. Anyhew, no bashing on the birthday post. So happy birthday to my little man.
