Stinks

We had the usual busy week again this week. On Wednesday Mason was officially 11 months old. Mason's new nickname is Stinks...short for Stinkerpants. He just has this gleam in his eye that is so...mischievous. He can now definitely pull himself up and cruise along stuff. His favorite is the tv stand. He cruises to the middle of it and then makes to turn off the tv. Granted, our tv does have a large silver button for on/off that if very attractive, but the furtive "are they seeing this" glances over his shoulder are what really get us. He just thinks he is so funny. He also got another tooth (upper right lateral incisor) on Jan 30th and the matching one of the left side on Feb 4th, to bring the total count to 6.

Also on Wednesday Kendal was the "Star of the Week" at dance class. This means that she had a special time to lead the class in a dance. She chose the song "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid". She actually did quite well. I was a little afraid she would freeze up completely. She had a huge smile on her face the whole time that was just precious. (And she got to wear a fuzzy purple crown.)

And today we went to The Minnesota Children's Museum. We went with our good friends Krista and Ryan and their kids Emily and Ethan. This was lots of good fun. A nice way to spend an afternoon.










These blocks sure look tasty. What do you say we pass on our cold germs?

Even lots of stuff for Mason to do.
