Happy Late Halloween

Happy late Halloween. Just kidding. I've been meaning to put a picture of M in his Halloween costume and I haven't gotten around to it until now. He's supposed to be a monk but when we took him to the ward trunk-or-treat some people thought he was a character from Star Wars.

Climber

This stool is just one more thing that we can't keep on the floor. M stands up on it and then he panics a little when he wants to get down but doesn't know how to. We now keep the stool on top of the fridge. Not the most convenient for me but if it's safer then it's worth it.

Warning!!!

I just wanted to warn everyone NOT to share your chocolates with M. If he eats chocolates the same as he eats his chicken nuggets he'll take one bite out of each chocolate before finishing them off.

My little noise maker

I was doing so well keeping M out of the drawer under the stove until I walked in the other day and Travis was in the kitchen with M and this is what I found. This was the better video of the two that I took even though Travis is telling me it isn't as cute and not to tape him. Just ignore him and focus on the kid.

Helping Daddy

This is how Mason helps Travis get ready for work. It kind of sounds like he's saying "Ta Da!"

Conference Weekend

Here is Mason. He couldn't wait for conference to start. He was up at 3:00, then 4:00 and Daddy finally let him out of his crib at 4:30 and brought him out to the living room. We don't really let him watch tv this close but we did think it was kind of cut that he put his chair right up to the tv.

Between sessions we made soft pretzels. They're super yummy. Growing up we had crepes for breakfast every conference weekend. I still like the idea but we end up with lots of leftovers and Travis gets tired of them and they get wasted. So, for the time being, pretzels will be the Smith's conference weekend tradition. This is what they looked like.

Talking on the phone

I've been neglecting our blog lately. Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything. Mason doesn't always make things easy. Anyway, here is our little copy cat. He thinks he needs to talk on Mommy's phone but apparently one phone isn't enough. He needs one for each hand.
