Mason and I spent almost the entire month of October in Utah which meant that Mason (or the Masonator as Jerry's family has nicknamed him) turned 8 months old while on vacation.
We had a great time in Utah. While there, we were sealed as a family in the Logan, Utah temple. It was a special day for our family and was a wonderful experience.
Mason was dressed in a cute, white tuxedo complete with bow tie and cumberbon.
I now realized we didn't get any good pictures showing his cute tux off. It was so cold outside, we rushed the pictures a little bit.
What was the deal with my hair on that day?! ARGH! Anyway...
Mason and I returned home to Jerry in time for Halloween. Mason was Puff the Dragon and was able to go trick-or-treating to about 5 houses before he was ready to go to bed. He did score some pretty yummy candy which I offered to eat for him. :)
8 month milestones:
Able to sit up really well. One day, it really clicked with him and he went from being a webble wobble to sitting and playing for long periods of time.
Eating stage 2 baby food and oatmeal cereal.
Still preferred vegetables over fruit but I did get him to like my sister's homemade applesauce.
Saw his first snow.
Took his 4th airplane flight and had fun spilling a large and very full glass of ice water all over mom's jeans (which remained wet for many, many, long hours).
Supervised the adults while they raked leaves:
