Mason's New Tricks & A Baby Competition

Mason's New Tricks!


There were two new milestones today:

1. Mason can now get himself to a standing position all by himself.

2. Mason has worked out how velcro works

The second one unfortunately means that he can now remove his nappy, which he decided to do whilst he was supposed to be sleeping in his cot! I'm thanking my lucky stars that he didn't do anything in the cot while the nappy was off. He certainly loved his nappy free time laughing2.gif



A Baby Competition


With over 50,000 entries it looks like the Bonds Baby Search is pretty popular.

I've decided to enter Mason, despite the slim chances of winning, so yesterday I tried to get a good photo of him in a Bonds outfit.

Mason has always been incredibly photogenic (in my somewhat biased opinion), but now that he's moving around so much and doesn't like to sit still it is much harder to get a good photo of him. Most photos these days tend to be of him eating, as he's confined to the high chair and has no choice but to let me take the photo!

Thought I'd give you a bit of a laugh at some of our attempts:

The "outdoors, because we're so natural" shots:




The "indoor faux photography studio" shots:

   



The "look at me - I can play and be cute at the same time" shots:




The "mummy can't control the zoom" extreme close up shot:




The "not looking at the camera like a Calvin Klein model" shots:



And finally:

The "I'm way too tired for this mum" shots:




And to see the shot we chose head on over to the Bond's Baby Search (and if you like you can vote for him while you're there!)
