WHAT A WEEKEND....

This weekend was packed full of FIRSTS!!! Mason, my mom and I headed to Austin to visit my sister this weekend. Aunt Jenny was missing her little nephew so we had to go visit. On Thursday evening we went out to dinner with cousins aunts and uncles for my mom's birthday. Mason was a trooper.....he was up way past his bed time with only one nap for the whole day!! He loves to look at his surroundings and just take in everything around him.....very observant :) Friday was a day of relaxing, and meeting new friends of Mason's. We went to lunch with my friend Angie and her little angel Ava. Ava is 6 months older than Mason. SHE was absolutely a beautiful little girl. After that we drug Mason to the Mall to buy HIM some more clothes. We got him a swimsuit for the summer, shoes (2 pair), jeans, a few shirts and some shorts......it is so much fun buying for a baby :) Then after a long afternoon we went back to Jenny's to rest. We put Mason on the floor and low and behold......he rolled right on over from his back to his belly!!! He has been rolling over from belly to back now he is really MOVING!!! I better watch out :) Later that evening I was on the phone with Marcus....since he had to work.....and Mason just started babbling baby talk. All of the sudden he babbled out DADA DADA DADA DADA.....a million times in a row!! It was SO CUTE!!!! I know......some may say they don't say their first words for a while, but I am COUNTING IT!! Mason said his first word DADA and Marcus heard every syllable :) I was laughing, crying from laughing, and just thinking.....my little boy is almost 6 months old!! He is such the talker now.....well....babbler always yelling out DADA DADA.....Marcus just grins ear to ear every time he hears it. I can't wait to carry on a conversation with my little blue eyed boy. We then headed home and have been talking non stop every since. What a wonderful ride Mason takes us one each day!! Here are a few pictures of this weekend. I just love my little boy!!

My Dad....The Author

My dad's passion has always been writing. The past couple of years he has written different pieces in his leisure time. He has written poetry, non-fiction, and horror. Last year he had his first book, Mind's Diary, published. We were so excited for him and anxious to see the book all finished. Mind's Diary is a collection of poetry he has written. His recent book The Release is HOT OFF THE PRESS . I can't wait to get my signed copy to read....even though I get to read bits and pieces before it goes to the publisher :) The other two pieces are Short Stories he has published on Amazon Shorts. One is about life as a Manager and the other is a Horror story. Everytime I go home my dad has many other pieces he is working on. I can't wait for more of his awesome work to be published for the world to read. We are very proud of him. Dad, keep writing! We look forward to the next book you will have published.

Sorry the pictures of the books are so little :(
