We are Young

This month has FLOWN by, it really is a blur.  I have to say that the first two weeks were pretty hard.  It was a big adjustment bringing Mason home and establishing a routine around eating, sleeping and keeping him satisfied.  As the month went on we adjusted quickly and are beginning to get into the groove of things. Mason is becoming very alert and looks at objects around the house, he loves making eye contact with mommy and daddy and even cracks a little smile!

Not sure if you are familiar with the consistency of this cream but it is very thick and yellow and waxy.  A few hours later that was exactly what was oozing out of Dixie's behind...
