I like to sit in things

Mason for the past couple of days has been practicing climbing into and sitting in various containers: baskets with and without toys, his inverted drum, this box - pretty much anything that will hold him. He will sit there for quite a while, often times piling toys onto himself. Today he decided to read a book, even if it was upside down.

Kindermusik Birhtday Party

Birthday dinner at Rainforest cafe

Mason had been playing with his cars, when one flipped over--

Peek a boo

Visit to the Zoo

THe SF zoo all in all is a bit sad and depressing..small cages, none of the animals that i remember growing up like elephants.....but for Mason it is fun....and who doesn't love your baby as an animal pics!

Fun in the fountain

It was such a hot day, and the mall at corte madera has fountains...so we were off to play in them. How do you keep an almost one year old from not getting full on in? I have no idea - and he loved being in the water, so i let him get him. you can se the water shooting out of the frog's mouth, as he put his hand on it he would manage to redirect the water and shoot other kids in the fountain with water and even people walking past - and most importantly himself in the face!

Watching this video back i could see my terrible parenting skills - removing him and then letting get back in....and although i didn't want him shooting other people, i was a bit rough in the taking his hand out of the stream...

learning opportunities....
