Mason had his first Thanksgiving yesterday. We went to my sister's house which I feel may be a new tradition (we usually go to my mom and dad's) since we all are starting to have our own families and soon we all won't be in one location. Like always it was good family fun, good eats, and Mason enjoyed playing with his cousins (cause frankly he gets bored with Chase and I).
Recently, I had to go to Washington, D.C. for an interview ( I am trying to do a pediatric dentistry residency). My mom was nice enough to go with me so I could take Mason. I was about to have several interviews in a row, and I really didn't want to be away from Mason that much. We went a couple days before my interview so we could actually be tourist. We went to most of the important monuments, took Mason to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaurs, and went by to see the Declaration of Independence at the National Archives Museum (Mason slept through this one). Mason even cooked with our chef one morning at breakfast! While I was at my interview Mason's mimi took him to see the pandas at the D.C. zoo. I really liked the city and the pediatric program (it has been one of my favorites) plus the city is only a train ride away from New York City (which is great for Chase's career) so it may be where the Malone Family may be moving in a few short months!
Mason loves his bouncer. We noticed one day that Mason loved working his legs so we decided to put him in this bouncer that one of Chase's students got for him. Mason loved it. I don't know if it is the thrill of being independent or the thrill of going up and down but he gets tickled every time he is placed in it. His daddy can tell him to do a "big bounce" and Mason automatically bends his legs real hard. In return he bounces up into the air! He loves it!
