Happy 1st Halloween, Mason Lee!

Grandma and Grandpa Fackler thought you would make the perfect l
little bumblebee! And, you are one chunky bee for sure!

Halloween definitely snuck up on us this year with just moving into the house on the 15th, it seems crazy that we are so quickly running into fall!  But, we are already making lots of new friends and we couldn't resist celebrating this holiday with you!  And, apparently, all of the grandparents just couldn't resist sending you a new costume!  

I don't know why I think this is so funny, but I just can't
help but to laugh at some of the faces you
make when I get the camera out:)

Alright, I gave you a smiley one too!  TMa and Aunt Julia
picked this costume out just for you!

You are definitely Mommy and Daddy's little monster....
Mommy is working really hard at getting in front of the camera!

We tried to sneak in all of your pictures before the main event, so you were a little upset by the third costume.  But you are such a ham behind the camera...Mommy LOVES taking your picture!

You weren't old enough to trick or treat this year, but since we walked around with Ms. Amelia, some people even gave you candy!  Mommy and Daddy definitely won't complain!  

Ms. Amelia's mommy, Abby, loves Cinderella, so it makes
sense that Amelia was Cinderella for Halloween!

Happy 1st Halloween!

You are my sunshine, Mason Lee!

Love, 

Mommy

Mason Lee is 5 months

All I can say to you this month, little guy...is we are finally out of the car.  I feel like you literally have spent the last month of your little life in the car.  But, we finally made it to Olympia, WA and will call this rainy place home!

Look how big you are getting, I can't believe it...
sometimes it literally brings tears to my eyes:)

This month was such a big month for our family!  Daddy graduated flight school, we left our first ARMY home, we left the home where we brought you home, and said good-bye to lots of fabulous friends and family.  To say the least, many tears have been cried this month, both happy and sad.

How could anyone not smile when they see this face?

The biggest news this month is that you have officially started eating food on the day you turned 5 months, so we will see how that goes.  But, upon first glance, you LOVE it!

I'm learning to include myself in more pictures,
even if I would rather be behind the lens...
I hope you appreciate this one day!

Things you LOVE this month:

1.  SLEEP...I think you finally figured out sleeping was the best thing for you to do while we drove.  It passed the time.

2.  Getting out of the car seat.  You literally would smile and coo after you got to get out of the car seat.

3.  Anything you can put in your mouth...you will chew on toys, hands (your hands or other's hands), or ice if Mommy will hold it.

Things you DON'T LIKE this month:

1.  Not being able to sit up in the car seat.
2.  Despite being the best car riding, road tripping baby...you have been ready to get out of the car and your seat more than once or twice:)

You are my sunshine, Mason Lee.

Love, 

Mommy
