Hanging out with Mason

This week, Donovan got to play with his cousin Mason. Mason's babysitter was out of town so I watched him for Lenna and Scott. I love Mason, but it really made me not want to have kids that close in age. Mason is just over a year older than Donovan so he still wants a lot of attention, but doesn't like it when I play with him while I am holding Donovan. He likes to play with Donovan's toys and gets mad when Donovan plays with them. It was pretty funny, but by the end of the week he was sharing a little bit better...mostly because he was bored with Donovan's toys. Donovan loves to watch Mason, he always watches him with a big grin on his face Sometimes I think Mason likes Donovan, and then he gets annoyed by him and doesn't want him anywhere near him. I'm sure they will have a lot of fun once they are both a little bigger. Mason did show Donovan some tricks on the cell phone though.

Donovan can now officially roll over to his left and right. He still can't go from front to back, but we are working on it. Being able to roll over makes him want to spend a little more time on his belly, so hopefully he will build up those muscles so he can start crawling in a few months. It seems like he is always moving. It is very rare to get a moment of him just wanting to snuggle while he is still awake. He always wants to be moving or eating. Sometimes he will pause to watch what is on TV, but as you can see, Mason's attention span is much longer (they were watching Baby Einstein "World Animals"). I took a lot of pictures this week because Mason always wanted to pose in pictures with Donovan. He would sit on the couch, point at Donovan and pat the couch, then he would say "chee" (cheese). It was so cute, I had to humor him. I hope Donovan is fun like Mason when he gets older, but I could do without the "yeah" (no offense Mason). Tia and Lenna-if you want any of these pictures, shoot me an email and I will send them ASAP.

In other news, Donovan has a very cute tushie (how would you spell that?) We borrowed this from Mason and had to take a picture before he grows out of it (which has probably happened by now). It should be a pretty embarrassing picture when he's older, but I think it will be hilarious!
