Easter and more

As promised, I’ve posted pictures of Mason in his Easter sweater vest…

Sweater vests rock!

Oma, Opa, and Oma-ma (great grandma) were up for the Easter weekend, and definitely enjoyed their Mason-time.

Grabbing the camera

Dad doesn’t get a smile, so much as a smirk.  I probably deserved it. :-)

Don't even try to make me smile

Mason is just starting to become interested in real food.  We’ve been experimenting with the baby “puffs” that dissolve easily in his mouth.  So far he likes to spit them out, more than swallow them.  In this particular case, he looked just like he had buck-teeth (The puff is shaped like an “A”, and the bottom of the “A” was sticking out).

What're you looking at?

We’ve mostly-baby-proofed the apartment, but Mason is always trying to get over the gate we installed.  We got a shot of him mid-escape (he had a little assistance–he normally can’t scale it himself :-) ).

Almost made it!

We caught this one after bath time one day…

Snuggle time

I think he looks like one of those Treasure Troll Dolls that they had when we were kids in this one.  You know, the ones with brightly colored tufts of hair sticking straight up?

For some reason, Mason likes doors–especially the hinges on them.  Sometimes he likes to play in this little corner of the apartment with doors on 3 sides.  Sometimes dad has to play down there too…

And of course, Mason is always a hit with the residents of Larzelere Hall.  It will be interesting this summer when all of the students are gone and he has fewer people doting on him all time.  Here are two of Andrea’s staff members, Amy and Adam, with their favorite resident:

That’s it for now…tune in next time!  We’ve got a real video camera on order, so when I get some quality footage I’ll make sure to post it.

    I like the smirk. It shows signs of a great sense of sardonic wit. Or an uncomfortable gastrointestinal situation. ;D
