Mason is 1 year old today

Our grandson, Mason, is one year old today. This first photo was taken within the first minute after he was born. He was born with the cord around his neck, and his first breaths were hard. Because of this they did whisk him away to be observed very closely. He was never put on oxygen as they warned us he would be an hour later when we saw him. An hour later we were all able to go in and see him, then we went home to get some sleep, and let Lindsey get some sleep. About twelve hours later we went back to see him, and I was with Lindsey when they handed him to her to hold for the first time. Jimmy and I then left on vacation for 2 weeks. Mason was not due until February, so we thought we had time to go on vacation and return before he was born. That is not the way Mason had it planned. The photo below is 2 weeks later when I got to hold him for the first time. Jimmy was waiting on his turn.
The next photo is Lindsey, John and Mason in June when we all went to St Pete Beach.
First time Mason had his feet in the sand. August, right after I fed him sweet potatoes, he is sitting in John's highchair.
We all seem to like this picture for some reason.
Mason showing off the hint of his first tooth. Love that fuzzy head.
Mason loves being pulled around in his John Deere wagon, especially when Papa gets him close to Granny's flowers so he can pick them.
This last photograph was taken in Georgia when we went there for my family Christmas celebration. Since this one was taken he has had his first haircut.
We will be celebrating his birthday with a big family get together this Saturday.
Happy Birthday Mason!!!!

Happy Birthday Mason!! Love the big eyes in the last one. I think we all have pictures of the young ones with food all over their faces.

Be sure to give him a big piece of chocolate cake and get the camera ready...:-)

We will be leaving for Indiana on Wednesday for the birth of our grandson! We are very excited as it is her first one. She had a miscarriage a few months before this pregnacy.
