Mason's riding a tricycle

After just one year of trying with him, Mason has finally mastered his tricycle. And as you can see in the video, cannot stop riding!

Baby gym

Babies actually like those elaborate "gyms" that they play with on the floor. It has a star that has lights and music and a smile that she loves. She's watching it while playing with the rattle.

Having fun

We had a fun, busy weekend (Erika wouldn't have it any other way, though every now and they the parents long for lazy days without kids and of lying in bed all day).


We hiked part of the Super Trail to Mt Wrightson in Madera Canyon (Santa Rita Mts). Mason walked the whole way, about an hour and a half. It's nice not carrying him, but the pace is slower.

Fall colors in Tucson!

Working on that fist. Hasn't found the thumb yet.

Mason was a train conductor for Halloween. He was excited about the costume, but instantly wanted to take the hat and bandanna off. He went trick-or-treating, but was afraid of the cars and maybe the dark, he wanted to go home pretty quickly. But once he was home he said, "That was fun trick-or-treating and getting candy. Who knows....

This is what Camryn does after she has had a bath. Cold? Probably, but this photo was taken after we warmed her towel up in the dryer.

Mason and Camryn had their first bath together, they loved it. Mason helped wash her hair, but mostly just played with his toys.

She loves this pink bunny, it's so soft, she smiles when it touches her.
