Our son is 1!!

Amazingly, Mason made it through his first year virtually in tact! :D His birthday party (in my mind was a disaster) was on sunday, the big kids seemed to have fun by playing baseball in the grass spot by the tables. The wind would not let up, and the sun would not stay out. Mason was pretty much not there, he was so cranky and irritated. I hate when he is like that around others, because I want them to see the joy and energetic little man that we all know and love. He slept about the 1st 2 hours of the party as his daddy fired up the burgers and feverously got them out to our family and friends. It started to drizzle so we decided to get Mason to chow down on his cupcake :D (which made my day) and got tons of pictures of the icing covering his face, up his nose. He loved it! Thats what sweets are for, special occasions :D We brought all the gifts home, and opened them there. He got tons of great stuff, lots of funs toys that are all over our living still because he loves playing with them! I took Monday off so I could spend the day with him and it was a great day, he was in a great mood, almost like he knew it was his birthday. We went to breakfast with Sara, Gavin, and Natalie. He had a good ol Pancake breakfast! Through the mid day we napped and just had a great relaxing day. For dinner we met most of Sterlings side of the family at CiCi's Pizza, and he had a few ripped pieces of pizza and breadstick pieces. Cinnamon yumminess too!
Tuesday was his 12 month appointment, and the dreaded MMR shot fight. LUCKILY, sadly but luckily, he has a ear infection in both ears, so I had a loop hole to get out of any vaccinations at all without arguing with the pedi about postponing this shot. (and the other 2 he was supposed to get) Also... pediatricians charge 25 dollars per vaccine. Which would put us out 75 dollars (not including the 75 dollar charge for the appt. itself) Did you know you could get vaccines for free from the county?? I wish I would have known that a year ago! we would have saved whatever we have spent already on vaccines.

Some more information on Autism and Vaccines I foudn extrememly interesting and feel obligated to share these websites.

it is amazing the statistics that are being ignored and thrown out the window. Why?



I was also listening to Glenn Beck today and he was talking about how the Black Panthers (which in my mind is pretty much like the muslim jihadist) how they have said that the GOVERNMENT created the aids virus. CREATED it to take out the black community. REALLY? really? You really think the government did this? Just like they planned the attacks on the WTC. Just like they knew about the bombing of pearl harbor? Wow. really? Another things they said, was if God is not against the white man then we shall kill him. WHAT. take that for what it is and all I can say is WHAT?! and leave it as it is.

Mason's going to be 1

Wow, It seems just like yesterday.
He is learning so much and doing so much I cant believe he went from eating, sleeping, sleeping than eating to taking 4 or 5 steps, playing peekaboo, giving me open mouthed kisses. Life is truly amazing and a pure joy.
