Mason is 5 Months Old

So this weekend was very special to our little family.  On Saturday, Mason turned 5 Months old and he was baptized in the Catholic Church.  What a huge blessing for our family!!  It was very bittersweet because Mason was baptized in the same church that Ryan and I were married in and that we had Tyler's funeral.  The last time we were in that specific church was for Tyler's funeral.  As Mason was getting baptized, I was just in awe of his innocence.  The way he looked at Father Tony, the way he smiled at the joy of his family members.  Mason has brought me so much joy, joy that I never thought I would be able to have again.  I did however have flash backs to Tyler's funeral and to the way that I sobbed uncontrollably as Ryan and I were asked to sprinkle Holy Water on Tyler's casket.  I also fell a sense of regret that we were never able to share the Lord with Tyler, but I do know that one day in Heaven Tyler will share the Lord with me.

I am so thankful for all that Tyler has taught me over the last year and a half.  I know he is always watching over Mason and I hope Tyler knows that he has made me a better mother for Mason.

I can't wait to share Mason's baptism pictures when I get them.  It was a very special event for our family and close friends.  We love Mason so much.  I will share what he is now starting to do in his 5 month very soon :).

Mason's Three Month Outfits

So I've always wanted to learn how to sew but time commitment and willingness to learn has always stood in my way.  I guess I should start by saying that my grandmother is fabulous at sewing.  She has made me several outfits, Halloween costumes, and hemmed my pants on many occasions.  Each time I tell myself I need to ask her to teach me and I finally buckled.

I wanted to learn to do simple things and I thought I would start with applique.  I know it's not perfect but I just started and I am learning.  

Mason is getting his three month milestone photos done and I wanted him to have two special outfits.  I knew I wanted to do one with his initial and I think the tie is so cute :).  I wanted them to match his light blue and brown hat, so that is why both are in the same color scheme.

I have to admit it wasn't as hard and scary as I thought it would be but then again my stitching isn't perfect.  Hopefully it will get better.

So here are some photos of my first attempts at sewing.

Happy Valentine's Day

Love, Mason

Mason's Little Personality

So I'm very excited to share a little part of Mason's personality.  He is now smiling all the time and it's so cute.  He also laughs a little but not a full blown laugh yet.  He loves when I tickle his chin and make a cho-cho sound.  I was able to catch a little part of it on camera.  Here is Mason and his super cute little personality.

Happy New Year

Love, Mason
