Hanging Out With Uncle Nathan!

Uncle Nathan came for a visit while he was in Las Vegas for a wedding. Mayson had some fun play time with Uncle Nathan. They read books together, played blocks and ball together, and Mayson's favorite the computer.

My Guys!

I caught Mike and Mayson laying on the couch watching tv while I was cooking supper the other night. So cute!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mayson is blowing kisses, wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!




Just some other pictures of the happy boy.

Mayson is 15 Months Old

I say this every month but I can not believe Mayson is 15 months old. He went to the doctor today for his 15 month well baby check, and she said we an adorable, healthy toddler. Toddler oh my, we have a toddler.

15 Month Milestones
- Mayson weighed in at a whopping 28 pounds, which is in the 90th percentile, and was 31 1/2 inches tall, which is in the 50th to 75th percentile.
- He wears 12-18 months in clothes, which is odd because of his weight, but that is what fits. He also moved up to a size 5 diaper, the 4's were getting to be too tight around those thighs.
- Mayson has four teeth on bottom four teeth on top, and one of his molars in. We all will be a lot happier when those stinking molars come in.
- Walking, climbing, running he is all over the place.
- Mayson has a morning routine of getting out his favorite toys. He usually starts with his bowling set from Sean, then gets out one or all of his golf clubs from Sean.

Such a Stinker

Mayson just makes me laugh all the time. He is so funny, and it amazes me how much he knows. This morning at breakfast, I asked him if he ate the bacon, he said "NO!" Then he started laughing. So then I asked him," Mayson do you want to play ball today?" and he replied "NO!" I then said, "Mayson do you want to go shopping with Amy and Mommy today?" He said,"NO!" Then I asked, "Mayson are you the best baby in the world?" He said, "yeah," and shook his head. He is such a stink.

Playing Hard!

I came home from work yesterday and Mayson had all of his toys strung across the living room. Mayson and Daddy must have played really hard all day.



He pulled out all but one of his drawers, even the bottom book drawer was empty. He was sweet enough to leave it in its cube.


Every night before bed we clean up all of his toys, last night Mayson even helped.

Playing Outside!

We have been blessed with some very nice weather. Mayson loves being outside running around. The temperature was in the 70's today, so we took full advantage and played outside. We had the front door open and Mayson went up and down the front step about 100 times. It wore him out, and he was able to get a really good nap in this afternoon. I tried out a new setting on my camera which didn't turn out too well, but I was able to get a few good pictures of Mayson running around.

We have a Climber!

Well we pushed our couches against the wall in hopes to keep Mayson from climbing up on our leaning bookshelves. Well that goal was accomplished but he now has figured out how to climb up on the couches. This is his new game. He climbs up, he rolls off, he climbs up, he runs across all of the couches, he climbs up on the arms and bangs on the window. It wears both him and Mommy and Daddy out.



I went outside and took this picture, Mayson gave me a kiss :)


He finally lays down...

Say Cheese!

Mayson has learned to say Cheese when he is getting his picture taken. This is the outcome of a CHEESE!!



Mayson is cutting 3 molars right now. He has one already in, and these 3 have been very hard on him. His poor face is so chapped right now from having his fingers in his mouth.

Christmas Books, Cook Books, and Feet Books!

Mayson LOVES books. I am not a big reader so I am really trying to encourage him to like books. Mayson and I will read before bed, read throughout the day, and he will "read" on his own. He will go and grab books from his shelves and just sit down and flip through the pages. I love to listen to him jabber while he flips through the pages. The other day while I was cleaning the kitchen, Mayson was going through the cabinets and drawers, because he is into EVERYTHING. He finally is able to open the heavy bottom draw with all of the cook books. He pulled out a cook book and drug it all over the kitchen and dining room. I hope his love for reading continues.

Mayson's Room Needs a Change

Hopefully, in the next month or so I will be painting Mayson's room. Since we didn't know if he was going to be a boy or a girl, we did a neutral wall color and bedding. Ever since he was born I have been wanting to change it to be more boyish. Mayson got a new tv for Christmas and it got hung up last weekend. Now I really feel like it needs an update. He has this nice







Hopefully I will be able to tackle the project soon.

Papaw Aslinger Visits!

Before the weather got bad in the midwest, Papaw was able to come out for a few days. Papaw spoiled us all while he was here. I got the night off from cooking a few times, which was so nice, Mike got to play golf and cards, and Mayson was the center of attention. Papaw also bought Christmas and Birthday gifts. The boys were able to spend the days playing and hanging out while, I worked.
