Our Vacation to Santa Monica - Part 1

Powdered Donuts!

So we gave Mason powdered donuts to try and get him to feed himself. Well, he LOVES them. The other night when we took these pictures, Calvin, Janae, and I sat down to eat dinner. He had just finished his, but was awfully fussy. I tried to give him some fish and some rice and some bread, but he wouldn't have any of it. So I gavein and gave him a donut. Well, he sat there on my lap and ate four! Yikes! He also loves Nilla wafers and now will shove a whole one in his mouth! He's definitely got some Colvin in him! :)

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MASON!

Mason's 1st Birthday

Today was a fun and memorable day as we celebrated Mason's first birthday. I can't believe it has been a whole year since he was born...boy, does time fly by fast! Calvin and I both took the day off to celebrate.

We started out the day by going to breakfast at our favorite eatery, The Eggery Etc, in PB. We LOVE that place and I think Mason does now too. After he woofed down his breakfast I brought for him (consisting of greek yogurt, homemade applesauce, oatmeal, and flaxseed), he had the joy of having some of Mommy's blueberry pancakes with syrup. OH BOY! He sure did love that!

After breakfast, we went up to Mt. Soledad where we prayed. It was so pretty up there and it was nice to thank God for Mason and pray for his life to come. Thankfully, we had a blanket and Mason took a nap on Mommy.

Then, we went to Mission Bay to try and feed some birds some stale bread we had. But, surprisingly, there weren't many birds around. But we were able to take some cute pictures of Mason in the grass.

We came home and Mason had lunch and a nap. Then, Mommy decided we should go get pictures done at The Picture People in Mission Valley Mall. That was fun! First, Mason is A LOT more mobile than he was before and so everytime Mommy put him down to take a picture, off he flew crawling away! Then, we tried to get him to stand up inside a block with the #1 on it. HA! Finally, we brought out a cake! Yes, Mommy brought a birthday cake for Mason to try and we got some CUTE pictures! Fortunately, they will be available online in the next 48 hours. Since Daddy had to go to class, Calvin and I have an appointment on Sunday afternoon to go back and select some.

Lastly, Mason and I came home, had dinner, and played until Daddy got home around 8pm. We then celebrated with a little cupcake and sang "Happy Birthday". Sorry, no pictures right now because there is something screwy with our computer. But I promise in the next couple days, we'll get some photos on the blog. For now...

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MASON!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!
