Halloween, 11 Weeks old, and Mom's Birthday!

Mason,
Today was you first Halloween and also time for your 11 weeks photos.  We dressed you up as a candy corn and a monkey.   It appears you liked the candy corn outfit but not the monkey outfit.  Today was also your Mother's birthday.  She said it was her best Birthday so far, thanks to you.

A visit to Dallas

Mason,
Today you and mom traveled to Dallas for your first Halloween Party at your Grandparent's house.  Grandma and Grandpa were really excited to see you.  They are both not feeling very well, however they enjoy your company and spending time with you.  They both drive all the way to Arlington to come take care of you while Mom is at school and Dad is working.  Mom and Dad wish we could be with you all the time but that is not always possible.   There are a lot of evil people out in the world who want to hurt people, including babies.  Mom and Dad will always be there to protect you and we only want to make the right choices so you will have a wonderful childhood.  It is hard to find good people who we can trust to care for you, but luckily you have grandparents nearby.  You are loved.

-Dad

2 month shots

Today Mason received his 2 month's shots.  He wasn't expecting it at all.  He cried a little at first but then fell asleep afterwards.  I am proud of him, he handled it like a trooper!


Here are some interesting facts, Mason is now:
23.75 inches long in length (64% higher than other children his age)
14 pounds in weight (83% higher than other children his age)
In two months, he doubled his weight since he was born.

Here comes trouble!

Dear Mason,
Today mom decided to dress you like a skunk.  It was not my idea but I liked it.  I am so happy you are in our lives.

Love,
Dad

Our lil skunk

Our little Monkey!

‎"Dear Mommy,
Today during Dad's day off he gave me a shower, got me dressed, and kept on calling me his 'little monkey,' but I don't know why? Please hurry home"
-Love Mason

I'm a father





Son,
Its been just a little over 8 weeks since you were born.  I still cannot believe I am a father.   I remember every detail big or small in reference to the day you were born and it is something I will never, ever forget.  

Earlier tonight the song "Dance with My Father" by Luther Vandross was came on and I danced with you in my arms.  You seemed to enjoy it since you were smiling nonstop.  Your mom smiled and chuckled.  She loves that song too because it has a very deep meaning for her and Grandpa Gilbert.

As I am writing this letter, it is about 3:30 am, and I was finally able to put you to sleep.  Your mother is in our bedroom studying for a test she has in a week.  I am caring for you through the nights so she can study and get well rested for her classes in the morning.   I am so proud of your mom, she is not procrastinating and is studying well in advance.  

As you get older we both will teach you to finish your work ahead a time and don't be lazy.  Mason, please do not wait until the last minute to finish your assignments.  If you take this advice you will feel a lot better about your work and will not be as stressed out.  

Love, 
Dad
