USS Alabama

We took a small trip to Mobile, AL because that's where the closest Babies R Us is and I had a gift card to use! On the way, we stopped at the USS Alabama battleship. A couple of fun facts: Battleship ALABAMA cost approximately $80 million dollars to build in 1942 and it shot down 22 planes.

 Baby Sawyer in all his cuteness:

Sawyer is 1 Month & Cailtin is Funny

Our Sawyer was born 1 month ago today!

A couple of things Caitlin says right now that I don't want to forget: She calls me "mom-mom" and if you cough she will ask "You k?"

Corn Maze. Not Pumpkin Patch.

Apparently, down here pumpkins can't grow! Something about salt in the air? So we went to the corn maze and bought a "pre-placed" pumpkin. It was actually a really cool set-up. Tons of fun activities for the kids and they had a blast.

Sawyer Lynn Mason

Sawyer came the day after his due date, at 10:48 am on October 1, 2012 here in Biloxi, Missisippi. He is named after his grandfather, Kevin Lynn Mason, who passed away in June of this year and after his uncles Tyler Lynn and Jeremy Lynn. He will also share a birthday with his Uncle Ben!

He was 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 3/4 in. long. The labor went fairly smoothly until his heart rate kept going down with every contraction. Way down. It turns out the cord was around his neck (Caitlin's was too) and it was kinda scary but he made it though! We are so thrilled to have the newest member of our family here!

The girls are adjusting well. Caitlin pretty much ignores him except to randomly point and say, "baby, baby!" Sophie is a big helper and loves to hold him.

So far he is an angel. Very content to just hang out and not make a peep unless he is hungry. He had his first bath today.

A couple of hiccups though: Friday Sophie came home from school with pink eye and today I had to go in for mastitis. Oh, the joys of having kids! Its a good thing I have a cute, cute baby I can cuddle and make everything all better.

As the summer comes to an end, oh wait, its still 85 degrees here! Sweet. Here are some random end of "summer" pics.

Sophie and Navy started gymnastics:

 Beach Day!

Apparently this is more comfy than her bed:

Phil is all excited about the panoramic option on his new IPhone 5:

Our cute girls just being cute...
