Another fun month in the life of Mason has gone by. I feel his activity level escalating each and every day, and the volume….oh my, he is becoming such a loud child! Its really fun for me to live in this boy world. I come from a very female dominated family, so he is introducing us all to what little boys are like….well, Jeremy probably knows what little boys are like, but my mom and my sisters, we are all constantly in a state of shock and awe. 
We are fully embracing it with excitement. I find myself constantly evaluating the line between letting him be a boy and trying to reign in the crazy just a little bit. I definitely want to encourage and cultivate his natural instincts (which are characterized at the moment by noise, dirt, and movement), but I’m also aware that we are raising and shaping a little human being that we would love to be a well-mannered little boy and grow into an amazing gentleman. It seems to be a delicate balance and we most definitely have not figured it out. But we are enjoying the process……and all the noise……dirt…..and movement. I feel like he squeezes every last drop of energy out of all of us. We sleep really well at our house these days.
