A Little Lipstick Never Hurt Anyone

A Little Lipstick Never Hurt Anyone...

"Hm...if I just stealthily drag Mama's purse into the laundry room no one will find me or my confiscated item. The possibilities could be endless!! What forbidden treasures might I find in this thing???"

Ok, I've seen something like this before...what do I do with it???

Hm...

Travel: Cali to Port A to Dallas

I've been ready for the pool for HOURS!!!

Mason's First Trip to Cali!!

Grandmother Susie's House: the Day of Mason's Cali Shower

Mason at 5 1/2 months

Mason James and his Great Grandpa Jim (for whom he was named after)

My Grandma Jeannie, Sarah, and I at Mason's shower

After the shower Mason thought he'd try out his new sippy cup with the aid of Grandmother

The urgency to introduce Mason to the beach was immediate for his Auntie Em...Mason seemed to feel the excitement in the air...but as you can see (below) his enthusiam was a bit short lived in route...

"Are we there yet???" It's begun.

First Beach Experience--introduction made by Em, Roger, and Sarah (who is currently not in this picture because she was too embarrassed by the fact that we were carrying a RAIN UMBRELLA and a massively large camera (all we could hear from her mutterings was something about tourists...)

Enjoying the view

Profile for the ladies: He enjoys long walks on the beach...

Mason and Mama

Beach Bums-- Sarah and Mason, soak up a little sun...only poor Mason has his daddy's skin and 5 minutes into the sunning experience we had to pull out the umbrella (that was with baby sunscreen too!).

With the umbrella in use Mason suddenly decided that every toy must be immediately collected that was not under the protective screening of the umbrella...so much for trying to protect his skin! Eventually all toys were collected--including his favorite: his shoes.

A TRIP TO GREAT GRANDMA'S HOUSE

Mason loves reading with his Great Grandma

3 Months!!

Mason LOVES bath time!! He just realized that if he kicks hard enough water will splash EVERYWHERE--which he thinks is too funny!

Mason with Amy and her former college roomies at Meg's wedding

Mason and his Auntie Em and Roger the Kroger (incomplete)

Is Roger inspecting my child?

I guess he approves.

Mason loves his Em. This is after he has crawled up her belly. He is a talented inch worm.

A little play time on his belly

"Whew, I'm worn out. Time for a break."

Bedtime story

Just a few pics of Mason reading his bedtime story with his Daddy. He is now nearly 3 months old.



He likes to help Daddy hold the book and point at the words and pictures.

Highlights from Mason's First Month

A very content Mason is snuggling with Uncle Bradley

Three generations of the Markham Boys!!

A few days after Mason is born...Sleep deprevation does strange things to you...Emily, what is your excuse???

Mason meets his two crazy uncles...I'm foreseeing many dangerous adventures to come...

Daddy's humongous hand to Mason's itty bitty hand

On Mason's first trip to Starbucks with Daddy, he tries to swipe a sip of daddy's coffee.
