Hello, From Mason

I've had quite an eventful first few weeks. Lots of visitors, feedings, diapers and naps. I'm keeping Mom & Dad quite busy, and a little bit on the tired side. My first day home we had a visit from Uncle Keith. It was a brief introduction, but he seems like he'll be a great uncle.

My second week brought some more visitors. First there was Papoe and my Great Grandma Marie. I'm wearing two different outfits cause there was a little mishap with a diaper change while they were here. First rule of being a baby boy - always keep those parents on their toes.

Then we had a visit from Nana and Grandpa Chuck. It wasn't my first visit with Nana, but this is the first time that Grandpa Chuck got to hold me close.
This is Colin & I. His Daddy and my Daddy were childhood friends, and their Daddies are buddies too. Maybe one day we'll follow in their footsteps, and take family trips to the snow for some skiing and boarding.
I overheard some of Mommy's phone calls, and there's been a demand for some new pictures of me. So I figured I'd take a quick nap to let Mom update you all with a few recent shots. First there's me in my Dale Jr. Number 8 shirt. I wore it to watch the Nascar Daytona 500 with Dad.
Mom has put me on a work out schedule. Not that I'm out of shape or anything, but every young man needs to keep up appearances. My favorite routine so far is batting at the monkey. Maybe it's all that pent up anxiety over my monkey toes. Mom seems to think they're abnormally long, but I keep telling her I'll grow into them. Do you think she'll ever listen to me?
I learned this from my Daddy. He calls it the Flowmaster Salute. I guess it's how he and his buddies at work say hello. I don't quite understand it yet, but it sure seems to get a lot of laughs out of Mom & Dad.
It's about time to scream for a diaper change, so I've got to run. Hope to chat more with you all soon.
