Mason is cracking us up! He is hilarious! He has three new tricks, well, two actually, but they are different, but the same, anyway, you will understand in a minute.
First of all, I think Mason is Superbaby because everyone in my family has been sick with the "crud" but not Mason. He hasn't shown any signs of being sick at all (thank you humidifier) I recommend everyone to get one. So we have all been coughing and all that and Derek coughed the other morning, and Mason some what imitated him and coughed, well of course Derek and I made a big deal out of it with our "Oh goodness" and our "Bless you baby." So now Mason fake coughs. It's hilarious! He loves the attention!
Second and third all, we have a roly poly baby! Mason is rolling from his back to his tummy and tummy to his back! He's getting so big! We are looking forward to the holidays with him!

Doctor's Appointment
Mason had his 5 month check up (well 4 month but it was closer to 5). We tried out a new doctor this time. We weren't really happy with our last doctor so we asked around church and Dr. Wiley came very highly recommened and I can see why! He really took time to talk with me and explained things to me. Derek and I had a major concern with giving Mason immunizations and our last doctor refused to see Mason if we didn't do them. Not that we weren't ever going to do them, we just wanted to space them out a little. Anyway, so we went to the doctor today and Dr. Wiley really explained the concerns and risks of not having shots and having shots. So we decided to have shots and just space them out which was fine with Dr. Wiley.
Mason is off the charts as far as height goes, but in the 90% for his weight which Dr. Wiley said since he's so long, he's really in the 75% which is great for a baby his age. He said he needs to be practicing his jump shot.
Mason also gets to start baby food. We are going to start with green beans tomorrow. He said to start things and do them for about 4 days at a time to make sure that there is no allergic reaction. I will have to post pictures tomorrow of our first experiences of baby food! Wish us luck!

Exer Saucer
So Many Pieces!Ok, so I have a really bad habit of posting pictures on one site but not the other. A few weeks ago, Derek's mom, Sheila (Nannie) bought Mason an Exer Saucer and he loves it! Derek put it together immediatly and Mason plays in it often. It's a life saver when it comes to showers and house cleaning!
Such a good daddy!
Such a good Mommy! My Contribution!
A man reading directions! Who knew?
Almost Done!
Wow! This is fun!
I Love This! My Baby Is Not A Baby Anymore!
Ok, so yes he is! He will always be my baby, but our sweet Mason is growing up so fast! I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday that I checked into the hospital to have him, and yesterday marked his 20th week with us! So to celebrate, well not really, it's just our Tuesday usual, we went to my parents house and ate with Scott, Beth, Ansley, and our new love; Cooper! We had chicken gumbo and chicken noodle soup because Beth and I don't eat gumbo. Anyway, we are sitting there visiting and Derek is on the floor with Mason and Ansley playing when I caught something out of the corner of my eye. MASON ROLLED OVER! I am so proud of my big boy! I can't believe he's getting so big! He rolled from his stomach to his back! I know this is the easy one, but it's still a big "step" for him! I made the biggest deal out of it which only made him laugh and want to do it more. I love our sweet baby so much and although it breaks my heart that he is growing so fast, I love these milestones in his life! Stay tuned for more!

My Thoughts On The Election!
As the day is quickly drawing to an end, my thoughts have been racing. What will this world be like if McCain/ Palin win? What if Obama/ Biden win? Who will make the biggest difference? Will this country be in war over the outcome? As a Christian, should I be scared or thankful that my God is more than enough for me?
As a McCain/ Palin supporter, I would love to see them win because of my beliefs and because I think McCain and Palin would do an amazing job and I think they are great people, but a part of me feels that it's already done.
I am not one who really knows much about the candidates or the election. I guess my fear is, "Is this the beginning of the end?" i know many of my fellow Christian believers are saying, why are you fearful of the end? I am not fearful of the end in general, but how bad will it before it's the end? What if some of my family/ friends aren't ready?
I guess my main reason for the blabbering would be regardless of the outcome, the Lord has his people in his hands. We as believers should just BE READY! Regardless of who gets in office. I think many things are going to stay the same regardless of the winner, but one thing will never change is that God is in control. This country was based on those beliefs and that's what us as Christians should believe and pray for in these next couple of hours!

Tag, I'm It! Seven Random Facts About Me!
1. The day I had Mason, although filled with excitement, nervousness, and thrill, I felt in some way, I was fulfilling part of my purpose that God has placed before me. Something about holding that sweet baby in my arms, I felt like this is what I was made to do. Derek and I love children and don't plan on stopping with Mason. We love Ansley and can't wait until Cooper gets here! Derek always gets mad because Mason will snuggle with me all night long and not Derek, but his time is coming if we ever have a little girl! He brings an overwhelming amount of joy to our lives. I can still not look at him sometimes without crying. Just something about his smile that melts my heart. He's so special to us and we can't wait to watch him grow. I love my life as a mommy and wife.
2. I knew on our first date that I would marry Derek one day! I can't explain it. Maybe women's intuition, but I knew. The funny thing is, the year before when our friends Craig and Meredith tried to "hook us up" we told them that we hated each other. We have many funny stories with Craig and Meredith, like the time that Craig asked us if we were "boyfriend" and "girlfriend"... by the way, it was only our second date! Very weird! Thanks Craig!
3. My favorite movies are Dumb and Dumber and Steel Magnolias. So much so that I can quote them line for line in both movies. I will spare you the fun, but I think I could watch these movies everyday and never get bored with them! Derek gets so mad and pretty much refuses watching these movies with me because I laugh hysterically at the same things, quote the lines, and say "This is the best part" about pretty much the entire movie.
4. I hate to shop! I am a weird girl I know! It just aggravates me to no end to walk into a mall, try on about 30 things and not find one that is suitable. I guess I am a little picky, but it drives me crazy! I would rather have my sisters hand me downs when she is over them after wearing then twice.
5. I am OCD about my bed. I may not make it before I leave for work, but before I get in it that night, even if it's for 5 seconds, my bed will be made. I cannot stand to get into the bed with the sheets all gathered and the comforter all over the place! AAAHHH!!! It's so nerve wracking. I have to have tight sheets and the comforter has to be even on both sides and tight.
6. There are certain words in the English language that if people don't say them correctly, it drives me crazy. So much so, that I have a list:
The Incorrect Pronunciation The Correct Pronunciation
1. nakin 1. napkin
2. pukin 2. pumpkin
3. Valentimes 3. Valentines
4. birfday or birtday 4. birthday
I'm sure there are plenty more, but these are my main ones.
7. I love clean sheets and shaved legs. May sound like a weird combination, but that's such a good night in my house. I love the feeling of ice cold sheets and smooth legs. I usually have clean sheets in my house at least twice a week if not more. The sheets get washed before my clothes:)
Since there is no one left, and I am the last one, I tag no one... maybe Meredith if she hasn't already done it or someone hasn't tagged her! Or if I could get my husband to sit down for 5 minutes, I tag him! Maybe that should have been one of mine, I am always the last to know and do everything!
