Mason is all smiles during play time!
(Brother Corben gave her the nice square sticker on her arm!!)

Princess doll

Mason loves talking to her doll that Papa John & Meme gave her.  It hangs in her activity gym and she moves all around, plays with her doll and makes the cutest cooing sounds while she talks to her doll.

Daddy calls the doll "Princess doll" because she wears a tiarra

(hard to see in these pictures)

"I SPY" shake bags

Meme made both Corben & Mason these fun shake bags!

They shake around the beads and find "SPY" items inside!

Corben very excited he found the DOG in his "I SPY" shake bag.

His mouth is open panting like a dog!!

The proof, that he indeed found the dog in his bag.
Corben showing Mason items he is finding...
she is so alert and watches everything Corben does.

Of course Corben wants his picture taken also and puts a big smile on!

We took Mason out of her seat and before I turned around...

Corben had jumped in and started putting the toys on his feet, exactly as Mason had them.
