Happy 5th Birthday Mason!

Getting this post together has been a fun trip down memory lane, and has reminded me what is so special about Mason.  Our little early Christmas present five years ago now, Mason has always been such a fun guy!  Here are some of our favorites from these past five years.  
Mason was about 2 weeks old in this picture, little perfect feet ready to take on the world.  
Born with the thickest hair, Mason looked like a little man.  He was so peaceful as a baby.  The nurses told me his hair would fall out...they were wrong- it never did.  
Mason and Matt have always had fun together as father and son.  
Starting to explore the world around him.
The famous hair finally gets it's first haircut.  He was 14 months old.  
We used Mason as a billboard to announce his little sister was on the way!  

Mason has always been the SWEETEST big brother to Sophia.  Even when she would cry from colic when she was 4 months old he would just patiently say, "Please stop crying Sophia, it hurts my ears."  What a patient guy!
My favorite trait of Mason's is his perpetual smile, he always looks on the bright side of life.  From the second he wakes up he is ready for anything and pretty optimistic about things... what a great way to travel through life.  
Happy 5th Birthday, we love you Mason!  xoxox Dad, Mom and Sophie

What a neat post! I LOVE his baby pictures - what a cutie! I didn't meet him until he was about 2 years old; it was fun to see earlier pictures. What a lucky guy to have such a great attitude. And what lucky parents to have such a great kid! Happy b-day, Mason!
