Mason is CRAWLING!!

Mason has started CRAWLING!! He started crawling backwards and was doing that for a couple of weeks, but now has mastered crawling forward and ALL around. OH. MY. GOSH. am I in for it or what!! Kylie walked at 9 months and she kept me very busy, but wasn't interested in the light sockets, climbing, cords or any other danger zone. She was very content walking around, playing with Jesse and I or her toys. However, Mason is the opposite. He is MUCH more busy and into everything!! I am constantly chasing him around and sometimes feel like the only word I say to him is "no". In fact, when he reaches for a light socket, before I say a thing, he reaches up at me and shakes his head no. But, proceeds to touch the socket. It is hilarious, but of course I want to keep him safe at the same time. While Kylie didn't pick up every magnified piece of dirt, debri from outside Mason DOES. Everything he picks up goes right into his mouth. At least he says "AWHHH" so I can see and take it out. Last week it was dog hair and this week it was bark. How can any of that taste good? While they both keep me very busy, I love them dearly and realize that these moments will not last forever; therefore we make the most of them: chasing each other around crawling, playing ball on the ground and always playing in water (both of my kiddos fave!!).
